Three unlucky men died falling from the hotel…

Carlyle House Historic Park, 121 N Fairfax Street in Alexandria, Virginia

Carlyle House’s most famous ghosts date from the time of Green’s Mansion House, or the Braddock House Hotel. Though the building is gone, many report seeing phantoms of three unlucky men who died falling from the hotel. One Union soldier, convalescing after the Battle of Fredericksburg in December 1862, jumped from a window in a feverish hallucination of being chased. Another man, Samuel Markell, fell to his death in 1905, and a third, 20-year-old Pat Buckley, fell in 1912.
