Record summary
Fort Mifflin, a Revolutionary-era fort on the Delaware River, accumulated stories of apparitions, disembodied voices, footsteps, and a screaming woman associated with imprisonment and wartime violence. Some traditions were recorded or popularized in nineteenth-century and later local histories, while the fort’s documented military history supplies several possible sources for legend formation. The lead is valuable for comparing haunted-site narratives with layered architecture, military memory, dark tourism, and the conversion of unidentified sounds or historical suffering into named ghost motifs.
