Today I explored the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. and learned that it has several hauntings associated with it. It’s so exciting getting to document and experience these remarkable historic buildings firsthand. The architecture is stunning, the history is rich, and the ghost stories tied to this place are absolutely fascinating. #HauntedPlaces #NationalPortraitGallery #ParanormalTravel | Author Nicole Beauchamp
