Surratt House Museum

The Surratt House Museum is a historic house, named for John and Mary Surratt, who built it in 1852. Mary Surratt was hanged in 1865 for being a co-conspirator in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It was opened to the public as a museum in 1976.

The building is reputedly haunted by the ghost of Mary Surratt. However, what has been sighted are the apparitions of female and what have been described as "strange men... sitting on the back stairs".

Audible phenomena include "muffled voices". The investigator, Hans Holzer, visited the property with trance medium Sybil Leek. To read more of hat happened, please refer to America's Haunted Houses.
