The Ghosts that Saved America
They call it the Fort that Saved America.
It is the winter of 1777. The Revolutionary War has raged for more than two years. In Pennsylvania, the British troops are in dire need of resupply. Those supplies sit in the hold of Royal Navy ships, which stand ready to sail up the Delaware River and deliver them to the hungry redcoats.
Just one thing stands in their Fort Mifflin.
Garrisoned by a die-hard band of ragged Colonials, the fort and its artillery batteries maintain a chokehold on the river. The British decide that Fort Mifflin must be taken at all costs, and subject it to a bombardment the likes of which North America has never seen. Thousands of cannonballs rain down on the fort while the British prepare to seize it. There can be only one outcome.
250 years later, Fort Mifflin still guards the Delaware. The spirits of phantom soldiers still walk its grounds. When a team of paranormal researchers comes to investigate, will the fort's long-dead defenders speak? Just who is the shrieking lady whose screams are regularly reported by visitors? Join Richard Estep (TV's "Haunted Hospitals" and "Paranormal 911") as he explores the haunting of North America's most famous and historic fort.

Incredible, entertaining, and extremely fascinating.
Richard Estep is by far my most favorite author of true hauntings and documentary books. We weaves such an incredible vision of what's happening with the investigation that it feels as if you're right there with him. He also adds some humor in the telling that always makes me laugh and wish I were there along side of him and the other investigators. I truly enjoyed the chapters on Jason Hawes, John Zaffis and Sam Beltrusis. This was a phenomenal book on the investigation of Ft. Mifflin. Can't wait for the next investigation of another haunted location to come out. Keep them coming and I'll keep reading them!!!
