About this Event

Ready yourself for a walk on the (literal) dark side of Mount Vernon Cemetery (MVC). Closed to the public for almost two decades, this fall we open its creaking black gates for ONE NIGHT ONLY to venture on a unique off-road journey through MVC's mysterious past.

Racing against the setting sun, this adults-only early-evening tour showcases the more macabre aspects of MVC’s history; tales of M**der, suicide, and hoodoo that are guaranteed to send shivers up your spine and make you once again declare: I'm afraid of the dark. Who knows who or even what we'll find? Spoiler alert: Be prepared for the uncanny as MVC is covered in, as the New York Post declared: "creepy stuffed animals that inexplicably appear overnight."

Once darkness falls, we'll switch on our flashlights and stumble through the pitch black of the night - seriously, we have no electricity so trust us, it gets crazy dark - to the center of the 28 acre property. There, we'll participate in an epic on-site spiritual cleansing ceremony, conducted by members of SOUTH STREET CIRCLE, Philadelphia’s own Neo-Pagan ritual group.

It's a night like no other! You bring the flashlights. We'll bring the fear!!

This tour is sponsored and conducted by members of the Friends of Mount Vernon Cemetery and is part of MVC's 2024 Fall Festival Tour Season.
