Rumor has it that there has been a re-emergence of witchcraft in Alexandria and the accused witch was last seen at the Carlyle House! Gather evidence so Alexandrians can bring her to trial by speaking with witnesses to her alleged sorcery. Along the way you will concoct your own witch bottle by gathering items that were thought to offer protection against witches. The only way to complete your witch bottle is by solving a series of puzzles throughout the Carlyle House and gardens. Will you be safe from the witch’s wicked spells?
*Disclaimer: there is no documentation that there was ever thought to be a witch at Carlyle House or in Alexandria. The witch in this program is purely fictional and based off of women who were accused of witchcraft in Virginia between 1626 and 1730, which was well before John Carlyle lived in Alexandria.*
Small groups will be let in the house at a time every 15 minutes. Last entry into the house is 7:45 each evening. There are no jump scares or actors who will touch you, but due to some subject matter this program is not appropriate for children under the age of 12.
