What To Expect

National Constitution Center

When earth was broken for construction of the National Constitution Center numerous bodies were discovered and re-interred in mass burials from this site to another within Philadelphia. We flesh these stories out with Native American ritual, burial practices and lore on this location.

Betsy Ross House

We visit the Betsy Ross House and Betsy Ross Grave recounting the chilling tales of haunting of the house and site where she is laid to rest with third husband John Claypol.

Benjamin Franklin's Grave

We visit the grave of the statesman and patriot Benjamin Franklin where he is buried with his wife Deborah and infant son Francis. Here, we discuss less known facets of this complex and intriguing Founding Father of the United States including his connection to body snatching and ghouls, and influence on horror novelists of his day.

Arch Street Meeting House

Join us to the historic Quaker Meeting House and burial grounds for tales of witch trials and ghosts in the heart of historic Philadelphia.

Christ Church

We visit the old Anglican Church of England to discuss grave robbery, those who were burred alive mistakenly, and ghost lore from before and during the Revolutionary Period in The United States.

The President's House

This structure was America's first "White House" where President's George Washington and John Adams both served tenure when Philadelphia was capital of the United States from 1790 to 1800. Foreign dignitaries and members of congress and senate frequented The President House for official and unofficial business. Benedict Arnold lived also in the structure as Military Governor in Philadelphia after the British evacuation of the city during the American War for Independence.

Independence Hall

The historic structure of Independence Hall was the building where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. The historic structure is now the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia. Independence Hall was the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783 and was the site of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787 where 55 of America's greatest statesman hammered out The Constitution of These United States.

Liberty Bell Center

Commissioned in 1752 what we refer to now as The Liberty Bell cracked on its initial test ring and was re-casted two years later by local workman John Pass and John Stow with the lettering, "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof."

This was a great experience! A large group of coworkers went as a Friday night out and I would recommend it to everyone! Ted was our tour guide and he made this experience so enjoyable. He’s energetic and fun, VERY knowledgeable. We started at a bar with drinks and pizza and then walked through all of the burial grounds in the city. Great time!

This... is not a pub crawl. We signed up with a group of 11 ready to bar hop and hear some spooky stories. What we got was an unorganized hot mess of an evening. They severely oversold the tour, so the group had more than 30 people total. Our group walked for about an hour and a half around and saw some cool stuff, but I repeat, NOT A PUB CRAWL. This is advertised as including drinks and snacks, which is why we splurged on the $45 price tag. Just getting to the bars was a real struggle and over-complicated process due to the size of our tour group and pandemic restrictions. You would think there would be some planning ahead involved. Nope. Lots of confusion about where we could sit, and chairs were being placed as we stood there for 10-15 minutes waiting to get some dang alcohol in our system. Once we got seated, we were given a measly shot that tasted like sugar water. It was a struggle to get to the 2nd bar, since they split up our tour group and we had to go back to a meeting spot before we could switch locations. We were told the 2nd place had some “great beer specials” for our group. We had 5 beers to choose from. No liquor. No wine. As far as snacks go, the only advantage is getting 10% off at 1 of the bars. The guide was nice and knew his history. The bartender at the beer bar was cool as hell. But overall, do not expect to be *crawling* from spot to spot in a drunken state as we had hoped. The only thing that spooked me about the tour was that I paid $45 for this nonsense.
