The concept that government buildings, and the United States Capitol in particular, are haunted has their origins in a combination of historical occurrences, folklore, and the building's singular function as a symbol of authority and democracy. Tales of ghostly figures and unexplainable phenomena have resulted from this. Government buildings, like many other old buildings, have a rich history that is defined by both successes and tragedies.

Visitors often feel uneasy or watched in these buildings, fueling the belief that they hold more than history.
