Haunted Washington, DC

Located on Lafayette Square Park, which is considered among paranormal enthusiasts to be Washington DC's most haunted area, Stephen Decatur House has had its share of unexplained sightings and events. Celebrated Naval hero, Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr., and his wife, Susan Wheeler moved to Washington, D.C. in 1816 and purchased a plot on Lafayette Square for their new house. The couple moved into their grand house in 1819. Just 14 months after moving in, Stephen and Susan Decatur's expectations of a fine life came to an abrupt end when Stephen was fatally wounded in a duel and died at his home.
