Featured Locations:

Gettysburg Battlefield

1195 Baltimore Pike, Gettysburg, PA 17325

Beyond the well-documented hauntings, there are countless reports of strange mists and shadowy figures at Little Round Top and the Wheatfield, where some of the bloodiest fighting occurred. Phantom cannon fire and the scent of gunpowder are still experienced by many visitors to this day.

Hotel Bethlehem

437 Main St, Bethlehem, PA 18018

In addition to the ghostly presence of May Yohe, guests in Room 932 often hear the sound of a typewriter clacking late at night—perhaps the spirit of a former writer staying at the hotel. The grand staircase is also known for mysterious cold spots and the sound of phantom footsteps echoing through the halls.

Eastern State Penitentiary

2027 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19130

Visitors often feel an overwhelming sense of dread near Al Capone's cell, where he reportedly saw visions of his old enemies. The most unsettling part of the prison is Death Row, where disembodied voices call out names, and cell doors slam shut on their own.

The Old Jail Museum

128 W Broadway, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229

In addition to Alexander Campbell's famous handprint, there have been numerous sightings of shadowy figures moving between cells, and many visitors report hearing eerie whispers in the basement dungeon, where solitary prisoners once suffered in silence.

Fort Mifflin

6400 Hog Island Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19153

Beyond the Screaming Woman, visitors have encountered the spirit of a Revolutionary War soldier walking the perimeter of the fort. The sound of invisible footsteps pacing the gunpowder magazine is a frequent occurrence for paranormal investigators.

The Farnsworth House Inn

401 Baltimore St, Gettysburg, PA 17325

Guests have reported hearing heavy breathing and the sound of gunfire coming from the attic, where Confederate soldiers once took aim during the battle. In the Sweeney Room, guests often wake to the sensation of a cold hand touching their arm in the middle of the night.

Pennhurst Asylum

100 Commonwealth Dr, Spring City, PA 19475

The Quaker Building is notorious for sightings of a ghostly nurse, while visitors to the tunnels beneath the asylum have reported hearing the cries of former patients who suffered in isolation. Many leave feeling an intense sense of sadness and despair.

The Harmony Inn

230 Mercer St, Harmony, PA 16037

One of the most active rooms is on the third floor, where guests frequently hear the sound of a rocking chair moving by itself and faint voices singing old hymns. Staff have also experienced objects moving mysteriously in the dining room late at night.

Jean Bonnet Tavern

6048 Lincoln Hwy, Bedford, PA 15522

In addition to the man seen near the bar, guests often feel a chilling breeze in the upstairs bedrooms, where several travelers passed away over the centuries. Some have even seen ghostly figures sitting at the tables in the main dining hall after closing time.

The Logan Inn

10 W Ferry St, New Hope, PA 18938

Beyond the Revolutionary War soldier, there are frequent reports of children laughing in the halls, and guests in Room 6 often wake to the sight of a woman dressed in colonial attire standing by the window, looking out as if waiting for someone to return.
