Fort Mifflin, originally called Fort Island Battery and also known as Mud Island Fort, is the oldest fortification continually used in the United States.

Almost 350 Americans were killed in autumn 1777 when British Army relentlessly bombed the fort from ships on Delaware river.

The fort was named for General Thomas Mifflin, who later became governor of Pennsylvania and was known for standing up against slave catchers from Virginia.

Fort Mifflin played an important role in Revolutionary War, Civil War, WW1, and WW2.
During the Civil War, the facility held civilians as well as Confederate and Union prisoners. Thousands of Civil War soldiers slowly wasted away from starvation and disease, locked in a dark prison beneath Fort Mifflin.

Nowadays Philadelphia’s Fort Mifflin is considered one of the most terrifying and haunted places in America.

Legendary local spirits at this historic fort include the Faceless Man and the Screaming Woman.

Fort Mifflin hosts paranormal tours and everyone has an opportunity to haunt ghosts and spend night in abandoned casemates.
