The specter of an innocent waiter murdered in 1783 is sometime seen breaking dishes and smashing glasses at the City Tavern, once a meetinghouse for George Washington, Paul Revere, and other patriots. Anguished screams and haunting footsteps are still heard among the cellblocks of Eastern State Penitentiary. Among the picturesque streets of Chestnut Hill sits Baleroy Mansion, whose plethora of supernatural hosts has earned the home the nickname of “the most haunted house in America.” In Haunted History of Philadelphia, author and paranormal historian Josh Hitchens relates chilling tales of Philly’s past and present, including the ghostly lore of the Powel House!
