Physick House
Head to Philadelphia, which is known as the most haunted city in America, for a unique sighting. Here you’ll find the Physick House. This home was named after Dr. Philip Syng Physick, the “Father of American Surgery,” and was built in 1786. During the years the Dr. Physick lived here, patients came to visit, and it’s suspected that some of them may have stayed. Supernatural events have been reported at the home, and it’s said that there are at least two ghosts.
Carbon County Old Jail
Head about an hour outside of Hatfield to experience Carbon County Old Jail. Here, a leader of the coal miner’s union, Molly Maguires, slapped his hand on the wall as he was taken to be executed. He stated that he was innocent and that his handprint would show as proof of that innocence. Over the years, the jail was cleaned, remodeled, and even repainted, and the handprint stayed. It is said that this is a ghostly manifestation, along with several other hauntings in the old jail.
If you’re looking for a fun way to scare yourself, book a ghost tour or take a walk around one of the many haunted places in the area. There are many within a short drive, so you can find something new each Halloween.
