Historic Fort Mifflin -- Philadelphia, Pa.



Black Raven Paranormal investigates Historic Fort Mifflin

Black Raven Paranormal Feature Investigation -- October 2010

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of our favorite cities to visit.   One of our favorite locations to
investigate is Historic Fort Mifflin, located on the south side of Philadelphia.   A beautfiul, pre-
revolutionary war fort, we have had the opportunity to offically investigate the location 6
times.   Rich in history, the fort does not disappoint in regards to its paranormal activity.

Background History
Located on the Delaware River, Fort Mifflin was originally built by the British in 1771.   It is
the site of the largest bombardment the North American continent has ever witnessed.
In 1777, during the American Revolution, a valiant five-week battle took place when the
British Navy attacked Fort Mifflin on Mud Island.    The British had the garrison of
approximately 400 Continental soldiers surrounded from three sides.

Attempting to open the supply line for the British Army already in the Rebel capital of
Philadelphia, the British shot over 10,000 cannonballs at the Fort, causing the garrison to
eventually evacuate.   Over 150 Continental soldiers died as a result of the battle.   This allowed
General Washington and the Continental Army to repair to their winter quarters in a place called
the Valley Forge.   Too late in the season for British General Howe to chase them, the garrison
at Fort Mifflin thus extended the war and allowed the American army time to regroup
until the spring of 1778.
