Philly Ghosts: Phantoms of Philadelphia Tour

The Sins of Our Forefathers

Did you know it is said some of our most prominent Founding Fathers have never left Philadelphia? A city so full of human energy and emotion is bound to be haunted.

A past full of rebellion and tragedy marks Philadelphia as much as its hallowed legacy as one of the country’s oldest and most significant historical cities. From a yellow fever epidemic that nearly decimated the town to the untimely deaths of some of our famous Founding Fathers, the specter of death hangs over the City of Brotherly Love as fiercely as its legacy of independence and patriotism.
