Philadelphia Haunted Tour: A Self Guided Liberty Ghost Walk

There are over 340 years of triumph and tragedy that refuse to stay buried beneath Philadelphia’s cobblestone streets. On this chilling self-guided walking tour, you’ll explore the haunted corners of Old City and Society Hill. It’s a place where America’s founding fathers still linger, revolutionary soldiers still march, and centuries of restless spirits make their presence known through cold spots, phantom footsteps, and unexplained phenomena. This tour starts at Benjamin Franklin’s grave outside Christ Church Burial Ground, where visitors often report seeing a tall figure in 18th-century clothes pacing the fence line. You’ll weave through the historic streets of Old City, passing the Betsy Ross House where staff report ice-cold air in warm rooms and footsteps pacing empty floors. You’ll explore Elfreth’s Alley, America’s oldest continuously inhabited residential street, where British soldiers are still said to patrol and children’s laughter echoes across empty cobblestones.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Philadelphia Haunted Tour?

A: There isn't a specific age limit, but the tour is recommended for ages 12 and up due to some spooky content. If you're considering it for younger kids, it might be best to read up on the storyline to gauge if they'd enjoy it. Since it's self-guided, you can move at your own pace, which is a plus!

Q: What do we need to wear for the ghost walk? Is it okay if it rains?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking around Old City. If it rains, the tour can still be done, but I'd recommend a good raincoat and maybe an umbrella. Just keep in mind that some ghostly spots are more atmospheric when it's a bit gloomy!

Q: Can I get a refund if we need to change the date?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule as long as you do it a couple of days in advance. It’s pretty flexible since it’s self-guided. Just make sure to check the specific policy when booking, but I haven't heard of any issues with rescheduling!

Thinking of gifting the Haunted Liberty Ghost Walk - any tips?

I'm considering giving this self-guided tour of haunted Philly to my dad for his birthday. He's into history and ghost stories. I love that you can explore at your own pace! Has anyone done this? Any must-see spots on the tour? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Just did the Liberty Ghost Walk - it was awesome!

I went on the Philadelphia Haunted Tour last weekend, and it was so much fun! I loved walking through Elfreth’s Alley and hearing all the ghost stories. The app made it easy to follow along! I can't believe how rich the history is in that area. Definitely recommend it if you're into spooky stuff!
