The Story
The woman called Tom’s Daughter in the Mordington legend is remembered in a black dress and white bonnet. The Delaware Public Archives says she was enslaved and confined in an attic after resisting her enslaver, then died trying to escape. Her apparition reportedly walks beside the pond and through the dining room, while some tellings include lingering screams. Legendary personal history unverified; residential location and exact pin withheld.
