THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Valley Forge is associated with numerous Revolutionary War ghost legends. Visitors have reported apparitions of Continental soldiers, phantom drumbeats, mysterious campfires, and unexplained voices throughout the historic park.
There isn’t an American alive who doesn’t know the story of Valley Forge and the deprivations and hardships the Continental army suffered there. Although no physical battle was fought here, the battle against low morale, the elements, and hunger was a fierce one and many believe that those who lost that fight still remain. Visitors to the park claim to have seen men in army dress and some have reported what appears to be a man hanging from a tree.
