Description
Revolutionary War Ghosts of Connecticut Haunted America is a book about haunted locations in Connecticut that were involved in the American Revolution. Some of the locations include Nathan Hale's school in New London, the Leffingwell Inn in Groton, and the Sun Tavern in Fairfield. There are also reports of apparitions of wounded soldiers at Fort Griswold in Groton and of Tories and Patriots in the form of ghosts. Courtney McInvale, the author of the book, explores these locations to find out more about the ghosts and the history of the Revolution.
Bloody battlefields and raucous taverns in Connecticut served as the backdrop for pivotal figures and bold actions vital to the American Revolution. Nathan Hale is said to still conduct lessons in New London and East Haddam, and many suspect that George Washington occasionally visits the Shaw Mansion and Fairfield's Sun Tavern. The presence of notorious traitor Benedict Arnold is often felt in the Leffingwell Inn and at Ye Antientist Burial Ground in New London, where he commanded troops numbering 1,600 as a newly turned Loyalist. Picnickers claim to see apparitions of wounded soldiers seated among them at Fort Griswold in Groton. Step foot into a time when the Sons of Liberty, Tories and Patriots changed the course of history as author Courtney McInvale uncovers the Revolutionary haunts of Connecticut.
