The Story

The published account places a phantom soldier near a dune-covered bunker by the campground bicycle trail and Spotting Tower 12. Delaware Haunted Houses says a face appeared while visitors recorded inside; others reportedly heard growling outside without finding animal tracks. The story ties the park’s military remains to an apparently still-occupied wartime post.
