Ghosts of Chestertown and Kent County
Discover the haunting history and local lore of one of the oldest counties along the Chesapeake Bay's Eastern Shore.
Strange encounters and ghostly presences haunt the historic streets of Chestertown and the backcountry roads of Kent County. In this fascinating volume, author and local historian D.S. Daniels explores the events behind the ghost lore of Chestertown and Kent County.
The centuries-old Kent County Courthouse may be home to the ghost of Esther Anderson, who was sentenced to burn at the stake in 1746. Strange lights float above Caulk's Field, where fallen British marines were buried during the War of 1812. The scent of lavender accompanies the ghost of Aunt Polly at the Geddes-Piper House, while the spectral Tall Man waits for passersby on a lonely country bridge.

About the Author

Diane Saylor Daniels served for seven years as executive director of the Kent County Historical Society. Prior to working at the society, she had been the director of the public library in her hometown, having returned to rural life following twenty years of working in nonprofit and university administration in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and New York City. Originally from the mountains of rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania, along the border of Garrett County, Maryland, she understands what it is like to truly be "from" a place and enjoyed having an "in" to the centuries of stories woven into the fabric of life in Kent County.
