Overview

Philadelphia may be the Cradle of Liberty, but it's also a city spooked by true ghastly stories of the town that inspired Edgar Allen Poe to write "The Murders of Rue Morgue" and "The Raven." On this tour, possible sightings include desecrating German Soldiers, the tragic Edgar Allen Poe, Bishop White's murderous cook, and maybe even a dancing Ben Franklin!

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