Staying in my favorite city a while longer, we’re headed to Germantown in Philadelphia. We will be taking a haunting tour of a house that had played host to the Revolutionary War and Yellow Fever in the late 1700’s, and examining its unsettling history. Complete with first person accounts, particularly of a fateful day on the grounds: Oct 4th, 1777, the listener is transported back in time to meet some of the personalities who supposedly still reside within its walls.
Today it is a center for horticulture and battle re-enactments, but blood literally still stains it’s floor, and ghosts still walk the halls of: Grumblethorpe.
