Alexandria, VA — Think you know Alexandria’s ghost stories? Think again. Gadsby’s Tavern Museum is pulling back the curtain on the real events that inspired the city’s most chilling tales during Death at the City Hotel on Friday, October 17, at 7 p.m. at 134 North Royal Street.

Guests will dive into the true stories behind Alexandria’s most enduring legends—including two rooted in Gadsby’s Tavern itself—and explore how they morphed into the ghost stories locals love to tell. The evening also includes a make-and-take “paranormal” communication pendulum (whether you believe in it is up to you), plus one drink ticket to keep spirits high. Expect mingling, conversation, and a few surprises—these stories may have more to say about today than you think.

Tickets are $35 general admission or $
