Rejseplan
Tur mødested og første stop. En gang tavernaen, der var baggrunden for den amerikanske revolution og alle mænd og kvinder i magten, det brændte i 1834 og blev ødelagt i 1854. Hvem startede ilden, og gør spøgelset af en brændt brud skrige gennem skyggerne her?
Merchants' Exchange bygningen, ca. 1834, var engang begrænset af berygtet Dock Creek, en kløft af snavs og sygdomme. Engang byens kommercielle centrum, grådighed slået op mod spøgelserne af de uheldige lige uden for døren.
Nogle siger, at det at bo her i Philadelphia blev den sikring, der imploderede Alexander Hamilton's liv og ødelagde hans bane til præsidentskabet. Vandre hans spøgelse her, ruminerer om hans dårligt rådgivende affære med Maria Reynolds?
En af de mest ikoniske originale bygninger i Philadelphia, ca. 1774. Alle kender til den første kontinentale kongres, der fandt sted her, men Carpenters' Hall var også et midlertidigt hospital under den amerikanske revolution, et berygtet mødested for franske spioner, stedet for et uheldigt bankrøveri og meget mere.
Dolley Todds lille søn og første mand døde af frygtelige dødsfald på dette sted, ca. 1775, fra gul feber. Dolley selv gik videre til at besætte Det Hvide Hus som første dame og hustru til fjerde amerikanske præsident, James Madison, men holder spøgelserne af hendes familie liggende her i hendes gamle hus?
Grundlæggerfaderen har alle glemt. Robert Morris var en brændende patriot, statsmand, finansmand og en enorm leder i den amerikanske revolution. I dag er han næsten ikke kendt. Morris underskrev alle tre grundlæggende dokumenter, uafhængighedserklæringen, artiklerne i forbundet og forfatningen, men han døde brudt og syg. Nogle siger, at hans spøgelse forfølger området Walnut Street fængsel på tværs af gaden, hvor han blev fængslet i nærheden for sine gæld.
En statue af Benjamin Franklin indtager den centrale facade af denne bygning - biblioteket for det amerikanske filosofiske selskab, han dannede i 1743. Franklin, en vigtig grundlæggende far, var også en diplomat, borgerlig leder, dygtig videnskabsmand, opfinder og forfatter. Helt det spektakulære liv. Men han fornægtede sin søn, forsømte sin kone og nægtede at tilgive dem, der krydsede ham. Hvem er de spøgelser, der forfølger hans lighed?
Du kender det som det sted, hvor vi blev en nation og hvor uafhængighedserklæringen og forfatningen blev underskrevet. Men ved du om de kroppe, der blev dumpet på trappen under den franske og indiske krig, eller hvor mange mennesker døde her fra myndighedernes hænder? Amerikas fødested har mere end et par spøgelser.
Nu hjem til Graven til den Ukendte Soldat, dette torv var engang en begravelsesplads for amerikanske revolutionære soldater, samt de fattige og uanmeldte døde. John Adams, der gik her i 1777, kommenterede de 2.000 soldater begravet på dette sted og skrev til sin kone, at han havde tilbragt en time i "forsamlingen af de døde". Der er ingen mangel på spøgelser her.

My wife and I have been doing ghost tours for almost 20 years in just about any city we travel to that has one. They are always cool with some better than others. However, this one was by far and away the best we've ever been on. We had Malcolm and the wealth of historical knowledge he possessed about Philly and that he salt and peppered our group with throughout the evening just blew us away; and I grew up in Philly and my wife, and I lived in Center City in the early 1990s! Malcolm's ability to engage and captivate you as he told us so many stories on the walk was excellent and we learned so much that night. I have also never been on a Ghost Tour that was a good 2 hours 45 minutes but we went in early June, and we lucked out because as the evening wore on it actually got a little chilly!
Malcolm was our tour guide. He is a wealth of historical knowledge. He was kind,accommodating, and fun. He had great stories to tell. Thanks Malcolm.
We wanted to do something a little different, and this hoot the mark. A ton of history wrapped in spooky tales. Our guide was well versed, passionate and fun. The sun went down during the tour and the timing was perfect. Definitely recommend
Malcolm was a great tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. Malcolm told many fascinating stories, little known historical stories that were shocking and put our colonial history in a whole new light. I learned so much about Philadelphia, its development and culture. Highly recommend Malcolm and the Ghosts of Philadelphia tour
Malcolm is extremely engaging. Hos historic ghost stories will captivate you! My friends and I had the best ghost tour because our guide told riveting stories with historic content
Malcolm, our tour guide, was exceptional. Not only did we learn a great deal of history, but he also kept us engaged and interested throughout the entire tour. Even when it started to rain, he remained very accommodating and ensured we still had a great experience.
WOW! What a fascinating, comprehensive, fun tour! Malcolm was a DELIGHT; he was super charismatic and warm, and his theatrical take on Philly's history truly made the tour as fabulous as he is. He was incredibly knowledgeable and well spoken, kept us on the edge of our seats, and consistently kept us engaged and comfortable. 10000/10 Would recommend. Thank you for such an awesome (and spooooky) experience! :)
Malcolm was my tour guide and he was very enthusiastic and made it a very fun experience. Learned a lot and enjoyed exploring the city!
This was an absolutely amazing and fun experience! Malcolm was our tour guide and he made the stories come to life. I was on the edge of my seat and completely invested the whole time. 1000/10 would recommend!!
Malcolm is AMAZING!!! This is not your typical historical tour - it is suspenseful, theatrical, thrilling, and horrifying. Stories range from pre-colonial times to the 1930s, from bank robbery to mass murder. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a thrilling night!
