We visited Philadelphia at night with a guide dressed in a large black cape and carrying a lantern.
This is another way to discover the monuments and history of this city: for each place the storyteller first gives the historical explanations, then tells a ghost story.
In front of a cemetery the storyteller invites us to take a photo with flash to try to find the "white lady" of her story: cf.photo I saw a black figure kneeling in front of a grave!!
In reality, zooming in reveals that it is the shadow of a tombstone.
The atmosphere (evening, dimmed lights, less people) plunges us into an imaginary!!
Our 11- and 14-year-olds weren't afraid, it's family-friendly.

Lots of walking over uneven surfaces. But our guide was enthusiastic in her story telling and flexible to accommodate to guest questions and comments.
