The Dark Side of Philadelphia

The spooky, scary and macabre can be enjoyed year round, not just in the fall or at Halloween. Your group can enjoy stepping into the dark underworld of Philadelphia, during the daylight, twilight or evening hours. The daring and brave American Trolley Tour Guide will get you safely through the darker side of Philadelphia, while you experience the following:

• The home of the father of the very 1st Detective Novel, the man married to his 13 year old cousin, Edgar Allen Poe.
• The square haunted by the ghost of Leah who is said to be protecting the graves of the revolutionary soldiers.
• Pass by Gallows Square, where the last person hung was William Gross in 1823, now without a doubt one of the more beautiful and tranquil spots in the city,
• Hear about the Mutter Museum, which is a museum definitely not for the faint of heart, where you can experience the eye wall of shame, or see the medicine cabinet, which houses various objects individuals have swallowed.
• Hear the accounting of the plague of 1793, which killed 5,000 people in Philadelphia. You might never look at a mosquito the same again.
