This site (now a state park) was used to imprison Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Approximately 2700 Confederate soliders died while being held captive at Fort Delaware. Many workers and tourists have seen ghostly images, felt cold spots and heard voices. On a recent "Ghost tour" visitors actually saw the image of a Confederate soldier watching them from the upper ramparts. Also on this island the site was once a cemetery for soldiers who died of typhus and malaria and this area is reported to be haunted as well.
