Penn Square and Lancaster Central Market, downtown Lancaster · Fulton Opera House (mid-19th-century theater) · Ghost Tour of Philadelphia / Ghost Tour of Lancaster (operating since 1995)
Lancaster is one of Pennsylvania's oldest inland cities, with a downtown historic core centered on Penn Square, the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Lancaster Central Market (one of the country's oldest continuously operating farmers' markets), and the Fulton Opera House, a mid-19th-century theater. Ghost Tour of Lancaster, part of the same operation as the long-running Ghost Tour of Philadelphia, runs its walking tour through this downtown core, drawing on the operator's companion book, Ghost Stories of Lancaster, PA.
The broader Ghost Tour company has operated since 1995 and has been featured in Fodor's, Lonely Planet, and Moon Travel Guides, among other outlets.

The operator's marketing references a figure it calls the 'Walking Tombstone' and 'otherworldly vigils, fatal curses, and star-crossed lovers' spanning 300 years of Lancaster's history, alongside reported phantoms at the Fulton Opera House and a heartbroken spirit said to linger on Duke Street.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, describing what the tour covers, not an independently verified claim by HauntBound.
