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."

On Saturday, we went on the Haunted Pub Crawl with a small group of 10 people. Ted was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable on the history of the city and told some interesting ghost stories. He was great and very funny! We didn't end up finishing until 9:00 but he never rushed us through. If you ever get the chance to do the tour, it is highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I did the Serial Killers and Cemetery tour and it was great!! I couldn’t recommend it enough. We were a super small group of four (two couples) and the guide which made for a great experience. Ted was our guide and he was great- couldn’t have asked for a better guide! He had amazing knowledge of everything, from the serial killers to the history of philly and also a great sense of humor. I just wish we had more cash on us to tip him- sorry Ted! Please tip cause they’re awesomeeee!

We had Ted, who while keeping it interesting with the tales of the apparently many dead bodies found throughout Philly, added the historical details and kept it competitive with trivia for shots! Highly recommended, locations were great, drinks were delicious and the whole atmosphere from start to finish was entertaining!
