It was 2 a.m. when Laura Lee heard the door open and slam shut in one of the old buildings at the Fort Delaware State Park. Although Lee was staying overnight on the island with a Boy Scout troop, no one else was supposed to be in the building where she was sleeping. Assuming someone was trying to spook her, she looked out the window to catch the prankster, but never saw anyone enter or exit the building.
When she returned to her bed, she found her sleeping bag crumpled into a ball in the corner of the room.
“I’m a historian, so I look for proof in everything,” says Lee, the park historian and interpretive program manager for Delaware State Park in Delaware City, Del. “But there are some weird things that have happened that I just can’t explain.”
