Haunted History: Philadelphia Ghost Tours

Philadelphia may be the Cradle of Liberty, but it's also a city spooked by true ghastly stories of the city that inspired Edgar Allen Poe to write "The Murders of Rue Morgue" and "The Raven." A city frightening enough to contain Bram Stoker's research for "Dracula."

 

 

Join Free Tours by Foot as we explore the haunted history of the nation's most historic city and hear accounts of love lured specters, tormented souls of war, traitors and the sorrowful woes of the repentant dead.  Possible sightings of desecrating German Soldiers, tragic Edgar Allen Poe, and Bishop White's murderous cook, maybe even a dancing Ben Franklin!

 

Sights we cover on the tour:

• Independence Hall

• City Tavern

• Carpenter's Hall

• Pennsylvania Hospital

• Washington Square

• Dr. Physick's House

• Bishop White House

• Old St. Mary's

• Old St. Joe's

• and much more...
