On a small island in the Delaware River sits a massive granite fortress that once held 12,000 Confederate prisoners of war. During the Civil War, nearly 2,700 men died within its walls from smallpox, starvation, and despair. Today, Fort Delaware is considered the most haunted location in Delaware—a place where the dead refuse to leave, where phantom soldiers still walk the corridors, and where visitors encounter spirits trapped in an endless cycle of suffering. This is the story of a prison that became a tomb, and why those who died there may never truly rest.
