Sights our paranormal experts walk you by and cover include Pennsylvania Hospital, City Tavern and Carpenter's Hall.

Meeting points

The tour begins OUTSIDE at 239 Arch St. on the sidewalk in front of Betsy Ross House.

End point

Open in Google Maps

The tour will end at Washington Square Park.

Itinerary

  • Betsy Ross House

    Our first stop is the Betsy Ross House, where the spirit of Betsy Ross herself is said to roam. Witnesses have reported seeing her ghostly figure stitching the first American flag in the dead of night. Feel the chill as you hear about the eerie happenings in this colonial home.

    15 minutes

  • Independence Hall

    Stop outside Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were debated and adopted. But did you know that it's also a hotspot for paranormal activity? Many have reported hearing whispers of the Founding Fathers and the echo of footsteps in its historic halls.

    10 minutes

  • Carpenters' Hall

    Carpenter's Hall was the meeting place of the First Continental Congress, but it’s also known for its paranormal occurrences. Walk through its hallowed halls and listen to stories of ghostly figures who still attend secret meetings.

    Founded in 1751, Pennsylvania Hospital is America's oldest hospital. Beyond its medical significance, it's a place of numerous ghost sightings and unexplained events. Discover the tales of restless spirits wandering its corridors, seeking eternal peace.

    Meet Benjamin Franklin at his place of burial, where he is said to steal the pocket change of visitors and throw pennies at them!

Perfect way to end the day in Philadelphia

Published on Feb, 2025

We really enjoyed the stories and the tour of the city. Most of the stops were only about a block away from each other. Our guide was very knowledgeable about history and told some personal stories as well. Very enjoyable.

Great experience!

Joseph was an excellent tour guide. He knew so much history and is a great story teller. Really enjoyable tour in historic philadelphia.

Spooky fun date night in Philly with my boo!

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a wonderful tour guide, Joseph. He made the tour extra special with intriguing stories, trivia, and jokes! We covered a lot of spooky history and sites in a short time, but the pace was easy-peasy. I would recommend this as a low-key date night idea and/or as a way to get a fascinating insight into Philadelphia and American history.

Great family fun

We had so much fun with my family of six, our guide Joseph was remarkable, strongly recommend this event, very informative and entertaining!
