Swope House

Do you Swope? Many tour guides don't for fear of offending the family that used to live there. But good news, tour guides. The family that lived in the house from 1997 to 2006 is now gone. They are the ones who were uptight about mentioning the specific location of the house.

The new owners are fine with being featured as a haunted house. In fact, they've already been outed by the Alexandria Gazette Packet in a feature about Historic Garden Week in 2009.

How do you tell the Swope House story? What have you heard about the house? Can you contribute to the discussion about this ghost story, one of the most famous in the Alexandria?
