Why is Philadelphia So Haunted?
Long before Rocky ran up the steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the area was inhabited by the Lenape tribe, who occupied a small village on the Delaware River. The Europeans arrived in the 17th century, and the area quickly became an important hub for the new colonists. As tensions with the British grew, Philadelphia’s central location made it an ideal flashpoint for American revolutionaries.
The city served as the capital of the US for a time until Washington DC was established in 1800. Later on, Philly became a hub for European immigrants and African Americans who migrated from the South. The city was a major global destination, being home to the Pennsylvania Railroad and hosting the first World’s Fair in the United States.
Today, Philadelphia is known for being the home of America’s Founding Fathers, but that’s not all that rests in the City of Brotherly Love. As it turns out, Philly is crawling with ghosts and ghouls! Pay a visit to the Baleroy Mansion in Chestnut Hill, which is voted one of the most haunted homes in America. In the span of just two weeks, two people were found dead in the house under mysterious circumstances.
Even though Philly is an excellent place to hang out, it’s no walk in the park! So don’t spend another day wondering what kinds of haunts lurk around town. Book your Philadelphia ghost tour today at www.usghostadventures.com!
THE MOST HAUNTED PLACES IN PHILADELPHIA, PA
Bishop White House
During the daytime, the Bishop White House is just one of many historical landmarks to visit. However, things become more creepy as the sun goes down. People can visit the site and experience some creepy vibes. Built in 1787, the Bishop White House served as a church for several years. Today, people claim male and female ghosts, along with a mysterious cat, haunt the premises.
Old St. Joseph's Church
While churches are a place of worship for many, they tend to have some scary backstories. The Old St. Joseph's Church is no exception. It’s the oldest Roman Catholic church in all of Philadelphia and perhaps in the United States. It’s a prime spot for ghost lovers, as several people claim to have seen some spirits lurking around the church’s grounds.
St. Mary's Church & Cemetery
Nothing seems more haunted than a cemetery. Whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, you can’t deny that touring a cemetery at night is exceptionally creepy. We deliver that creepy thrill by taking our tour guests to the St. Mary's Church & Cemetery. You can walk the grounds and read the headstones of some famous historical figures, including soldiers from the Revolutionary War.
