History & local legend
St. Peter's Churchyard occupies the corner of Fourth and Pine Streets in Philadelphia. Behind its walls, old grave markers and shaded paths preserve a burial ground within the modern city. Its supernatural reputation includes stories of visitors who appear to belong to an earlier Philadelphia.
Billy Penn recounts a phantom horse-drawn carriage associated with the churchyard, along with shadowy figures among the graves. The accounts do not give the carriage a known driver or connect its passengers with particular people buried there.
