Description
Step back into the shadows of America's birthplace on the Ghosts of Philadelphia Tour, a 90-minute walking experience through Old City’s most haunted and historic corners. From spectral sightings at Independence Hall to paranormal whispers in Betsy Ross’s former home, this tour reveals the eerie undercurrent of the city’s revolutionary legacy.
Follow in the footsteps of figures like Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin—some of whom still seem to walk these streets. Explore the haunted halls of City Tavern, where a tragic bride is said to linger in her wedding gown, and visit sites tied to the 1793 Yellow Fever epidemic, where ghosts of doctors and victims alike still stir. Along the way, you’ll hear tales of duels, diseases, grave-robbing scandals, and some of the strangest presidential sightings around.
This tour offers a perfect blend of American history and ghostly folklore for families, travelers, and believers alike. Whether you're a die-hard history buff or just love a good haunted tale, the ghosts of Philadelphia are waiting for you.
