Ghost Stories of Pennsylvania

The rich history of Pennsylvania is filled with the unexplained: frightening specters, mysterious apparitions, and haunted buildings. Join Dan Asfar as he recounts the Keystone State's most intriguing ghost stories:

• Deceased convicts, driven to insanity by abuse, return to haunt the Eastern State Penitentiary, the first prison where solitary confinement was used
• Phantoms materialize and eerie lights flash at Gettysburg, America's most famous 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
• Two mysterious suicides cause a spike in paranormal activity in Tamaqua's haunted Elks Club

With strange and often terrifying consequences, Pennsylvania ghosts appear throughout the state, in Pittsburgh, Radnor, Newtown, Lancaster, Altoona, New Hope, and more!
