Bishop White House
Here at the Bishop White House you can expect to learn all about the respected Reverend William White, and how his entire world was turned upside down by mosquitos, and the lingering spirits left behind from these events.
American Philosophical Society Museum
Everyone's favorite founding father, Benjamin Franklin, was quite the colorful character in life, and a major bookworm to boot. This stop is where you will not only be learning a little about Benjamin Franklin's life, but also his afterlife and the antics his spirit gets up to in this very building!

Where History Meets Hauntings 🇺🇸👻

5.00We had the best night with our guide, Claire! She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the Ghosts of Philadelphia tour. Her storytelling brought the city’s history to life, and she kept us engaged from start to finish. Claire struck the perfect balance between historical facts and spooky tales, making the experience both educational and entertaining. Our 11-year-old son, who is a huge history buff, absolutely loved it too. He was completely engaged by the stories and historical details, and Claire did a wonderful job connecting with guests of all ages. We especially loved hearing about the hidden stories behind some of Philadelphia’s most iconic sites. If you’re considering this tour, definitely ask for Claire—you won’t be disappointed!
10/10 Recommend!

5.00Claire was the best guide! She gave a lot of extra stories, several great recommendations for our last day in Philly, and was overall a great human. There were two kids on our tour and she gave them options to make them comfortable with some of the spookier stories. Definitely recommend this tour and Claire!!
So much fun!

1.00Not really a ghost tour more just a couple of stories with history mixed in disappointing it was nice seeing old city at night, but not worth the money, not enough information and certainly no chills.
A must do tour
