Ghosts and Eerie Legends of Chester County, Pennsylvania

The hidden chronicles of Chester County are right underfoot or across the road every day, and much of it also has a certain lore attached that ventures into the spectral realm.

• Hear the ticking tomb within a creepy, old cemetery • Experience the morbid Pennhurst State School and Hospital during the “spooky season.” • Learn about the haunted Phoenixville Library • Read about the unnatural and unholy Devil’s Road • Consider a meal at the haunted Eagle (now Bloom Southern Kitchen) or Letty’s Tavern

From brick-and-mortar buildings to sprawling graveyards, battlefields, and ghost towns, this collection of more than 30 stories and historical accounts features the most-interesting anecdotes, tall tales, and—of course—ghost stories of yesteryear that have been passed down in local history. Complete with GPS directions, start your eerie road trip here.
