The Ghosts that Saved America

The Haunting of Fort Mifflin

They call it the Fort that Saved America.

It is the winter of 1777. The Revolutionary War has raged for more than two years. In Pennsylvania, the British troops are in dire need of resupply. Those supplies sit in the hold of Royal Navy cargo ships which stand ready to sail up the Delaware River and deliver them to the hungry redcoats.

Just one thing stands in their way: Fort Mifflin.

Manned by a die-hard band of ragged Colonials, the fort and its artillery batteries maintain a chokehold on the river. The British decide that Fort Mifflin must be taken at all costs, and subject it to a bombardment the likes of which North America has never seen. Thousands of cannonballs rain down on the fort while the British prepare to seize it. There can be only one outcome.

250 years later, Fort Mifflin still guards the Delaware. The spirits of phantom soldiers still walk its grounds. When a team of paranormal investigators comes to stay, will the fort’s long dead defenders speak? Just who is the Screaming Lady whose screams are reported by visitors each year? Join Richard Estep (TV’s Haunted Hospitals and Paranormal 911) as he explores the haunting of America’s most famous and historic fort.
