Join us as we uncover the spirits of the past, including the full-body apparition of Peggy Shippen Arnold, seen elegantly tapping her foot in the drawing room. Could her husband, the infamous Benedict Arnold, also be lingering in the shadows? And what about the spectral soldiers who march through the front door, led by none other than Marquis de Lafayette? From eerie footsteps echoing through the basement to Revolutionary War figures making their ghostly return, the Powel House is packed with paranormal activity.
