Highlights

    You start at the Library of Congress and end at the Washington Monument. The map is a pretty straight shot, zig zagging down the mall. GPS addresses are a bit weird here, but there are street maps along the way and building locations are clearly marked. Check all museum hours if access is needed. You don't have to enter all the buildings to play.

Storyline

Ripley Bates, novice student of the paranormal is touring the world in search of messages from the other side and the first stop is Washington DC. 

If solid proof can be found, Ripley may be able to win the coveted Warren award for Excellence in Supernatural Research. 

Will the ghost of the past speak or remain silent forever and is Ripley brave enough to stay the course, follow the clues and capture enough evidence to win? Maybe with your help...
