Itinerary
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.
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.
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.
We visit a burial ground known for its internment of 5 Founding Father's of the United States, including Benjamin Franklin. Here we discuss grave robbery, ghosts, and the multifaceted and bizarre histories of medical practices throughout the Revolutionary and Victorian Periods.
Join us to the historic Quaker Meeting House and burial grounds for tales of witch trials and ghosts in the heart of historic Philadelphia.
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.
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.
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.
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."
