- Synopsis
- Discover the haunting history and local lore of one of the oldest counties along the Chesapeake Bay’s Eastern Shore.Strange encounters and ghostly presences haunt the historic streets of Chestertown and the backcountry roads of Kent County. In this fascinating volume, author and local historian D.S. Daniels explores the events behind the ghost lore of Chestertown and Kent County.The centuries-old Kent County Courthouse may be home to the ghost of Esther Anderson, who was sentenced to burn at the stake in 1746. Strange lights float above Caulk's Field, where fallen British marines were buried during the War of 1812. The scent of lavender accompanies the ghost of Aunt Polly at the Geddes-Piper House, while the spectral Tall Man waits for passersby on a lonely country bridge.
