Corpse Light. Cape Henlopen State Park is said to be the origin of the Corpse Light, a mysterious phantom light with no discernible source. There is no lighthouse at Cape Henlopen, yet people often see lights flashing from the location. It is said, strange lights haunt the point to this day because British soldiers raided a wedding ceremony being held by a native tribe. Nearly all of the tribe was killed. The remaining tribal members cursed the land with a "Drum of Stone" which signals "death to all white men." Locals call these ghostly lights Corpse Lights, or Bad Weather Witch. Over the years, hundreds of sightings and strange events have haunted Cape Henlopen. And Corpse Lights continue to lure ships to the dark rocks of Cape Henlopen Point. On Christmas Day 1655 the Devonshireman and her more than 200 sailors were lost in the night until a light guided them home or so they thought. The Corpse Light actually has fulfilled its promised historically. It sunk the ship, following the beams from from the nonexistent lighthouse, crashed into a shaft of stone instead. More than 200 men died in the wreck. Some say the ghost ship periodically reappears to reenact the famous crash. Have you heard of this legend?

Lum's Pond State Park. Lums Pond is a popular destination for campers, picnickers, paddlers, bikers and hikers. Few, however, know about its resident ghost. According to the story, a young girl ran away from her New Castle home some time in the 1870s. She ended up hiding out in the woods near the Lums Pond State Park, but ended up coming face-to-face with a dangerous man also camping in the woods. The man captured her, assaulted her, and murdered her. While authorities found the girl's body quickly, they never apprehended the killer. The girl allegedly died near a bridge on the park's trails and guests report they see the girl's ghost and sometimes hear her screaming when crossing the bridge. Sometimes, the temperature also drops dramatically on the bridge. The woman's unfortunate demise isn't the only spooky campfire story you can tell in the park. Its namesake is John Lum, who ran a millhouse along the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. Visitors have reported seeing the miller and his son roaming the grounds and hearing the phantom sounds of a water wheel. Have you heard of these stories? Maybe visited the park?

The Ghosts Of Fort Delaware. During the Civil War, Fort Delaware, found on the Delaware River's Pea Patch Island, was originally a prison for Civil War soldiers, notorious for its atrocious conditions. Prisoners were housed in wooden barracks and given only small food rations, as well as dirty water. Sometimes, rats were even thrown into the crowd, which starving prisoners devoured in desperation. About 2,700 men died in the prison and - unsurprisingly - their spirits are rumored to remain on Fort Delaware's grounds. The fort offers tours for those interested in its rich history and guests often report paranormal experiences. People have felt an eerie presence and also heard ghosts of prisoners poking around making noise throughout the fort's walls. Have you've ever visited this historic landmark?

Catman of Long Cemetery. Long Cemetery in Frankfort, Delaware claims to be home to a ghost. However, this specter is even more terrifying than average as it's been described as a bizarre feline-human hybrid known colloquially as Catman. Catman is said to be the former caretaker of the cemetery who had remarkably cat-like features. He still does his job by chasing out vandals, teens, and other troublemakers. Rumor has it that, if you knock three times on the cemetery's brick wall late at night, Catman will appear and attack. Personally to me it sounds like another version of Bloody Mary. But regardless, have you've heard of this story?

The Dead Presidents Pup in Wilmington, Delaware first opened its doors in the 1990s, but had a long and rich history before that. The two story building had been a private residency and also housed various businesses and bars. The name chosen in the '90s was apparently asking for trouble, however, because guests have reported paranormal activity ever since the Dead Presidents Pub made its debut. The pub sells presidential memorabilia and souvenirs and sports craft beers named after famous presidents. Guests brave enough to enter report glasses clinking on their own, random drops in temperature, the sound of spooky laughter, and the vague feeling of a dark presence. In addition to all this, the pub allegedly houses a specific ghost known as Lemonade Mullery. According to legend, Mullery was a local character who used to frequent the pub and died after slipping on urine on the bathroom floor and breaking his neck. Have you visited this establishment?
