Explore the haunted halls of City Tavern, where a tragic bride is said to linger in her wedding gown, and visit sites tied to the 1793 Yellow Fever epidemic, where ghosts of doctors and victims alike still stir. Along the way, you’ll hear tales of duels, diseases, grave-robbing scandals, and some of the strangest presidential sightings around.
