Elfreth's Alley: oldest continuously inhabited street with ghost-tour lore

Elfreth's Alley, dating to 1702, is recognized as the nation's oldest continuously inhabited residential street and is preserved as a historic district and museum. The narrow 18th-century row of houses is a frequent stop on local ghost tours, and tour guides and some residents have reported anecdotal accounts of unexplained noises and sensations linked to the alley's long history. These reports are part of local folklore and are presented as anecdotal rather than scientifically confirmed.
