Fort Delaware

Delaware City, Delaware

The record

Fort Delaware served as a Civil War prison on Pea Patch Island. Delaware’s environmental agency describes modern reports including a photographed blue figure and stories about children in the officers’ quarters, while framing them as haunting accounts. The military history and the interpretation of photographs are separate questions. Authorized park programs provide the appropriate access; review ferry arrangements and the exact tour type before making this an itinerary stop.

Paranormal explanations remain claims, not established facts. Read the original sources for context.
