Nearly one hundred distinct settlements existed in what we now call Delaware County. Since the end of the American Revolution, Native Americans, pioneer farmers, industrialists and factory workers settled across the county in hamlets, villages and towns of all sizes. Some of these communities survived the ebb and flow of history to prosper, while others disappeared, becoming lost in the collective memory. Today, many residents would only recognize the city of Muncie and the towns of Albany, Daleville, Eaton, Gaston, Selma and Yorktown. A few might know of villages such as Desoto, New Burlington, Smithfield and Wheeling. Most have probably never heard of Dogtown, Gate's Corner, Granville and Soccum. Drawing on years of research, local historian Chris Flook uncovers the stories of these lost towns.

From Muncie's past come weird tales of supernatural encounters, creepy ghostlights, haunted houses, and eerie hoaxes. In the years before the Civil War, wraiths routinely harassed travelers on turnpikes southeast of the city. A poltergeist once terrorized a family farm in northeast Center Township in 1890. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, ghosts appeared frequently at local businesses, theaters, office buildings, factories, and turnpikes. Delaware County historian Chris Flook delves deep into local historical archives to reveal dozens of uncanny encounters, ghostly pranks, and strange paranormal phenomena of the Magic City.

Nestled in the historic Delaware River Valley of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is the sleepy little village of Riegelsville. Built on a former Native American settlement, where folklore says the people would come to have their "spirits" cleansed, this quiet paper mill town has an active list of haunted places. Ghosts in the 'Ville seeks to record a history that is often unspoken--one that includes apparitions, sounds, and things that go bump in the night! This book is the story of the unexplainable phenomena experienced by a young pastor on his first night alone in town and the spirited history that followed. It also tells the tales that came to light for him, his wife, and others once people in the borough began to share their own chilling and ghostly encounters.
