In this Independence Day episode of Haunted Real Estate, we explore the haunted history of three American landmarks: the Liberty Bell, Mount Vernon, and Valley Forge. From phantom bell tones and reported sightings of George Washington’s spirit, to the quiet weight of the enslaved community at Mount Vernon and the echoes of soldiers at Valley Forge, this episode honors the sacrifice, complexity, and unfinished promises woven into America’s fight for freedom.
