Ghost Tour of Philadelphia – Philadelphia, PA
Betsy Ross is one of Philadelphia’s most beloved icons-a local girl who garnered everlasting fame as the “Mother of the American Flag.” Betsy’s house still stands on Arch Street in the birthplace of the nation, the historic district of Philadelphia, and millions of people have walked through the storied halls of her modest dwelling.

But there is another side to Betsy’s story, one told only in whispers over the course of generations. In that unassuming house on Arch Street, the ghost of Betsy herself has been seen weeping at the foot of a bed in an upstairs bedroom. In the basement, a murky shadow appears, in the same place where a man was shot to death long ago. Betsy’s gravestone stands just outside of the house, but it hasn’t always. Her remains have been moved three times, and it only takes once to conjure a vengeful spirit.

Why do these and other spirits still roam the historic streets and buildings of Philadelphia?

Hear chilling tales from the other side of Philadelphia history and folklore on the Ghost Tour of Philadelphia, a candlelight walking tour of America’s most historic and most haunted city!

Through the back streets and mysterious gardens of Society Hill and Independence Park, costumed guides narrate the evening with haunting tales from Philadelphia’s past and present in the tradition of storytelling. All of the tales are considered true ghost stories, some of which appear in the book Ghost Stories of Philadelphia, PA, by Tim Reeser.

The Ghost Tour of Philadelphia departs daily at 7:30 pm, with an additional 9:30 pm tour on weekends, from Signers Garden at 5^th and Chestnut Streets. It is appropriate for all ages.

The Ghost Tour of Philadelphia is one of the oldest ghost tour operators in the country and has been offering ghost tours in Philadelphia since 1997.
