Described as one part history, two parts haunt, the Spirits of '76 Ghost Tours draw from the lore of early Philadelphia's historical figures to spin ghostly tales of fear and fright. Hear scary stories about Edgar Allen Poe and Benjamin Franklin as you're guided through the cobblestone streets of Old City.
This tour also covers movie sets from a number of scary films shot in Philly, such as The Sixth Sense, Shooter, National Treasure and more.
