Produktbeschreibung
Philadelphia is known for many things: brotherly love, Revolutionary War history, passionate sports fans, cheesesteaks, and Rocky are merely a few of them. But the Founding Fathers didn¿t just walk the streets of Philadelphia 200 years ago, many still walk here¿or so the story goes. Along the streets of Philadelphia you can find the ghosts of Ben Franklin, Betsy Ross, Alexander Hamilton, and Edgar Allen Poe. But those are only the famous ones. There are a few less known ghosts creeping around the historic streets. Nearby Fort Mifflin certainly has its share of hauntings, given its long history of sheltering soldiers and holding prisoners from the Revolutionary War up to the Civil War. And given all the cemeteries that have been established and then relocated--or not--it's almost a given that thousands of disturbed graves might stir up a ghost or two.

Autorenporträt
Darcy Oordt grew up in a ghostly desert: not one known haunted house in her hometown of Blue Earth, Minnesota. It wasn¿t until she moved to Tennessee that she experienced her first ghost while working as a tour guide for a ¿ghost¿ tour. Her first book Finding Success After Failure: Inspirational Stories of Famous People Who Persevered and Won Out, tells about the early failures of famous people and how they overcame them. In her free time, Darcy enjoys swimming with sharks, flipping houses, and exploring museums in exotic locations¿if by ¿enjoy¿ you mean watching it on television. When she is not writing, you will usually find her making jewelry or crafts, fussing with one of her freshwater aquariums, or spending time with her pets. Darcy currently lives near Cherry Hill, New Jersey, across the bridge from the many phantoms of Philadelphia.
