City Tavern, Philadelphia
The replica City Tavern in Philadelphia, while a popular historical site, is said to be haunted by at least two ghosts: a murdered waiter and a bride. The waiter, who was stabbed by an officer that escaped justice, is believed to cause dishes and chairs to move, while the bride's ghost also lingers in the building. A waiter at the tavern in the 1780s was killed by a sword by an intoxicated officer who faced no consequences for the crime. This ghost is said to cause objects to move, such as dishes and chairs, and can appear as a bloody figure or a still, unblinking waiter who seems to be in costume. While less detail is provided, the ghost of a bride is also said to haunt the tavern. She is believed to remain active within the halls of the building.
