About this activity

Dare to walk in the shadows of America’s most haunted history… without the sound of sippy cups or snack requests. Founding Phantoms is Philadelphia’s adults-only ghost tour—designed exclusively for brave souls 16 and older.

This chilling journey dives into the darker side of the Founding Fathers—uncovering ghostly legends, unsettling truths, and spectral secrets they hoped would stay buried. But that's not all...

We'll also descend into the eerie evolution of America’s healthcare system, where "breakthroughs" often came with a body count. Fatal mistakes. Fascinating discoveries. And plenty of things that go bump in the operating room.

If you're ready for a spine-tingling night of history, hauntings, and a few uncomfortable truths... we’ll be waiting in the dark.

Itinerary

Pennsylvania Hospital - Historic Tours

20 min

This hospital, whose purpose was to treat mental illness, was home to many inhumane experiments in an attempt to drive out the evil spirits once believed to be the cause of mental illness. Join us on a journey through the past as we discuss the evils that took place and the vengeful spirits that remain as a result
Powel House

20 min

The Powel House was the home of Philadelphia's Mayor during the Revolution, Samuel Powel. Political dinner parties aren't the only historical events to discuss regarding this old home-turned-museum, as it is claimed to be the most haunted building in the city!
First Bank of the United States

20 min

This building was the idea of the one and only Alexander Hamilton, and while his criminal history is nothing to scoff at, the true draw of this building for many paranormal enthusiasts is the belief that the ghost of Hamilton himself haunts its grounds! Come learn all about Hamilton's debauchery-filled life, maybe even from his spirit directly!
