Philadelphia Haunted Tour: A Self Guided Liberty Ghost Walk
Overview
There are over 340 years of triumph and tragedy that refuse to stay buried beneath Philadelphia’s cobblestone streets.
On this chilling self-guided walking tour, you’ll explore the haunted corners of Old City and Society Hill. It’s a place where America’s founding fathers still linger, revolutionary soldiers still march, and centuries of restless spirits make their presence known through cold spots, phantom footsteps, and unexplained phenomena.
This tour starts at Benjamin Franklin’s grave outside Christ Church Burial Ground, where visitors often report seeing a tall figure in 18th-century clothes pacing the fence line. You’ll weave through the historic streets of Old City, passing the Betsy Ross House where staff report ice-cold air in warm rooms and footsteps pacing empty floors. You’ll explore Elfreth’s Alley, America’s oldest continuously inhabited residential street, where British soldiers are still said to patrol and children’s laughter echoes across empty cobblestones.
