Philadelphia does spooky season with extra flair. Walk a few blocks in Center City or Old City and you will pass skeletons hanging from ceilings, neon cobwebs, and cocktail lists that bubble and smoke. This year’s Halloween takeovers run the spectrum from circus-y creepy beer gardens to sky-high lounges, with a handful of immersive shows that turn your drink order into part of the plot.

Philadelphia, of course known for its historical roots, is also a city of restless spirits and eerie encounters waiting to be explored. Feeling brave enough this Halloween season to walk among the restless spirits and phantoms of Philadelphia?
