Special, not only because it's the first recorded ghost story in the Colonies but also because one of the girls, Elizabeth, is the mother of Maria Grimly, the girl who was 14 when the Continental Army encamped on and around their family farm in the area now called Schwenksville. We will be posting more of Maria Grimly Keely's recollections soon but now...enjoy this story about her mother. https://goschenhoppen.org/early-ghost-story-falckner-swamp/
