Old City Philadelphia Historic District · Independence National Historical Park vicinity · Revolutionary War-era Philadelphia
Spirits of '76 was developed by The Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia, which operates daily historic walking tours of Old City April through November. The ghost-tour offshoot follows a similar Old City route after dark, taking in more than 20 sites connected to the neighborhood's Revolutionary and colonial history, including Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and Old Pine Street Church & Cemetery, alongside sites tied to the city's Prohibition and criminal past. The tour meets at Cosi Restaurant, 325 Chestnut Street, and runs seasonally in the evenings.
The company has operated in Philadelphia's Old City for years and is listed by Visit Philadelphia and Discover PHL as a city-recognized visitor attraction.

The operator describes the tour as visiting "over 20 scary sites" through Old City Philadelphia, including Old Pine Street Church & Cemetery, the Liberty Bell, and Independence Hall, and notes the route also passes filming locations used in movies such as The Sixth Sense and National Treasure. The tour is framed as a candlelit, guided storytelling walk rather than a hands-on investigation.
This is the tour operator's own marketing description of what the route covers, included here to describe the product, not as an endorsement of any specific paranormal claim.
