The Legendary Spirits of the Bishop White House
It is not just local legend that whispers about the ghosts at the Bishop White House. Several books, including the famous Haunted Philadelphia by Darcy Oordt, claim that various spirits inhabit the home. It appears a woman, two strange men, and a cat dwell there.
However, the apparitions only seem to come out at night when the house is mostly empty. That said, these ghostly encounters aren’t anything new. People have claimed the Bishop White House is haunted for decades.
The Ghost Cat
Human spirits aren’t the only odd entities lurking around the Bishop White House. There are many accounts of seeing a ghostly cat wander the yard.
Some believe it’s the ghost of Dr. Rush, the doctor who treated John for his yellow fever. Perhaps he has taken on a new form so that he can linger on in this life?
