My ghost story is about the Ringwood Manor in New Jersey. A Revolutionary war general, General Erksine, moved into the manor, and died soon after from pneumonia. A pond sits behind Ringwood Manor, and behind it, General Erksine is buried. It is believed that at dusk, General Erksine can be seen sitting on his grave.

One casuality of a battle near Fort George was a drummer boy, who is said to now play his drum at the Fort. One account states that he was killed in a skirmish near Fort George.

General Mad Anthony Wayne was a Revolutionary war general under George Washington. He died while returning to a Pennsylvania military post. He was first buried at Fort Presque which is known as Eerie, Pennsylvania. His family wished for his body to be moved to their family plot in Paoli, Pennsylvania. In order to make the transport easier they boiled the flesh off Wayne's bones, but his bones kept falling off the cart. Upon arrival his family realized that several of the bones were missing. Now every year on New Years day Wayne's ghost searches for his bones.
Many people know of Patrick Henry, a founding father of the United States, notable for his "Give me Liberty or Give me Death" speech, but few people know of the dark secret hidden in his basement. Literally. Patrick Henry's first wife, Sarah, who bore him six children, suffered from a mental illness which the people of the time could not diagnose or treat properly. She was confined to the basement of their home,Scotchtown, and placed in an early form of a straight jacket so that she couldn't harm herself or others. Sarah suffered through her illness in the basement of their home, secluded from the outside world, until her death a few years later. Sarah wasn't allowed a Christian burial, so Henry placed her in an unmarked grave on the property, and according to the residents and visitors of Scotchtown, she never left. ~ Liz
The ghost story that I wrote about is about the paranormal encounter that Henry Lee had with his colonial army. Though they thought they had seen bear footprints, it was apparent that it was something other than bears. -Aleigha Archie
William Harrison IV and two of his daughters where struck by lightning and killed when trying to close a window in the second story of their house. However, his infant son, Benjamin Harrison V, which his young daughter was carrying, survived, thanks to a dinner guest the family had that night. The son grew up to sign the Declaration of Independence. But, to this day people can see the little girl in the window that wouldn't shut carrying a baby and William Harrison IV makes is presence to the living by playfully playing jokes on the staff, greets visitors like a good host, and make the chandeliers' glass twinkle.
