The rich history of Pennsylvania includes ample folklore about the paranormal. Join author Dan Asfar as he recounts the Keystone State's more intriguing ghost stories:
phantoms materialize and eerie lights flash at historic Gettysburg, America's most famous - and haunted - battlefield;
in a fountain at the notorious Baleroy Mansion in Philadelphia, a young boy sees a skull in place of his own reflection - a strange premonition of his sudden death a month later;
every New Year's Day, the spirit of colonial war hero Anthony Wayne wanders Route 322, still frustrated that his earthly remains were buried in separate graves;
a three-year-old girl takes a fatal fall while her father paints her portrait, causing it to be inexplicably possessed by her forlorn spirit;
while painting a mural on the walls of a Millvale church, renowned painter Maxo Vanka is visited by the terrifying specter of a long-dead priest;
two mysterious suicides cause a spike in paranormal activity in Tamaqua's haunted Elks Club;
under the influence of an otherworldly force, a backwoods recluse kills a man, initiating a bizarre chain of events on Hawk Mountain;
deceased convicts, driven to insanity by abuse, return to haunt the Eastern State Penitentiary, the first prison where solitary confinement was used;
plaintive choral strains waft over Loyalsock Creek near Williamsport - a lasting reminder of a young woman's death.
With strange and often terrifying consequences, Pennsylvania ghosts appear in Pittsburgh, Radnor, Newtown, Lancaster, Hollidaysburg, Bedford, Altoona, New Hope, London Britain Township and more.
