Samuel S. Haldeman (1812-1880) was a distinguished scientist, author and leading authority on natural history and the ethnic development of languages and phonics. Haldeman was born in this 1782 federal-style home, overlooking the Susquehanna River. Dozens of staff members, maintenance crews and guests have all reported similar alleged sightings. Translucent figures coming down the stairs or in upstairs rooms. Disembodied voices talking, faces at windows and more. The Ghost Finders investigate.

Fort Mifflin, originally called Fort Island Battery and also known as Mud Island Fort was commissioned in 1771 and sits on Mud Island (aka Deep Water Island) on the Delaware River below Philadelphia International Airport. During the American Revolutionary War, the British Royal Navy bombarded and captured the fort as part of their conquest of Philadelphia in autumn 1777. In 1795 the fort was renamed for Thomas Mifflin, a Continental Army officer and the first post-independence Governor of Pennsylvania.
