A stop at Harper Cemetery offers a haunting view over the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, with countless unmarked graves and stories of soldiers and civilians who never found peace. You’ll also visit St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church, a Gothic structure that survived the Civil War bombardment and is rumored to harbor ghostly apparitions still watching over the hillside. Every stop on the tour is meticulously researched, giving you the actual, documented history behind the hauntings—no gimmicks, just gripping storytelling and atmospheric settings. Please note, we do not enter any buildings to preserve the integrity of the spaces and ensure we can visit as many haunted hotspots as possible.
