Book Description
Frightening, sometimes amusing, always entertaining, this collection spotlights haunted tales from around the First State. Experience a sixth-grader's terrifying "game" with a talking board and a beautiful spiritual send off for a dying patriarch. Visit Fort Delaware where ghostly "chatter" may raise your hackles and read about one family's "ghost stories" spanning four generations and eighty-years. Discover the haunts of Cape Henelopen, Sussex, Kent, and New Castle counties, Newark, Wilmington, Delaware City, Dover, Smyrna, and more. Stories range from the strange and ghoulish, to the slap-stick comical. Urban legends are also explored to determine if the hype is trustworthy – some remain unexplained, while a few are debunked as pure invention. Included are results from several firsthand "haunted investigations," with a surprise ending to one inquiry that nobody saw coming!
