Has a good time! The only thing I would change about the tour. If possible it should be arranged to where you can go inside 1 or more of the actual places that are supposed to be haunted.

I really liked the Washington state park story. I thought that story was pretty cool.I wish the tour was alittle longer and they did later tours!

This was a lovely way to kick off the month of October! Philadelphia is filled with fascinating history, but this ghost tour gave a delightfully spooky perspective on things the average tourist wouldn’t know. I’d recommend this trip to anyone who likes a show and enjoys learning something new to boot!
