Ghosts of Philly Night-Time Walking Tour

Prepare for nightmarish tales from the Cradle of Liberty! Be spooked by true ghastly stories of the city that inspired Edgar Allen Poe to write "The Murders of Rue Morgue" and "The Raven."
Philadelphia may be the Cradle of Liberty, but it's also a city spooked by true ghastly stories of the town that inspired Edgar Allen Poe to write "The Murders of Rue Morgue" and "The Raven." A city frightening enough to contain Bram Stoker's research for "Dracula" and inspire David Lynch's "Eraserhead."

Possible sightings include desecrating German Soldiers, the tragic Edgar Allen Poe, Bishop White's murderous cook, and maybe even a dancing Ben Franklin!
