Not Many People Realize These 8 Little Known Haunted Places In Delaware Exist

The historic Lewden House, built in 1770, has long been a local legend and rumors of ghosts, apparitions, and unexplained sights have surrounded the property for nearly as long as it has been standing.

Allan and Jane Lesley, both former residents of this 1700s era mansion, have been known to haunt the halls of the home. In recent years, it was a Bed and Breakfast, and now it's home to a family that runs an antique store out of one of the basement rooms. The home is often available for tours during the New Castle Spirit of Christmas events, every year in December.

Gumboro's Haunted Homestead is has been plagued with spooky sounds of heavy breathing and stomping footsteps, and spirits have been seen moving across the yard. Oftentimes, neighbors have heard the eerie sounds of a harmonica being played in the early hours of morning. The ghosts each seem to be friendly and youthful.

Cooch's Bridge is the site of a Revolutionary War battle. Local legend tells of British soldiers who lost their lives and wander the former battlefield searching for their lost limbs.

Though Devil's Road is just along the border in Pennsylvania, many Delawareans have made the short trek to this creepy, nightmare road. The woods along Devil's Road (AKA Cossart Road) are so spooky that the M. Night Shyamalan film "The Village" was filmed here.

Cry Baby Bridge in Smyrna is a lesser known haunted spot right on the border with Maryland, on Walnut Tree Road. The story goes that a woman once threw her baby off of the bridge, disgusted with his physical abnormalities. The (understandably) upset baby still haunts the woods, bending trees with his superhuman strength, and appearing along the bridge.

Orbs of light appearing in photographs, unexplained shadows, the sounds of hell hounds, and whispers are all part of the unexplained phenomena that have been reported from Blevin's House in Smyrna.

Long Cemetery in Frankford has a strange guardsman - the Catman. He's the ghost of a man who used to tend to the graves here, and now he continues to watch over his former life's work. Cars left here have been known to fail, and the Catman likes to scare away those who come to the graveyard to party, or otherwise disrespect the resting.
