Summary
Delaware is one of America's original thirteen colonies and the state's roots in American history are deep. The city of Wilmington is not only its largest city today, but Wilmington is also the first city established in the state in an area that was once the settlement for the Lenape tribe. Wilmington is home to a mansion that is situated off Marsh Road that is formally called Rockwood Mansion. The mansion is old and beautiful, but it is also something else: haunted. This home is considered the most haunted house museum in the state of Delaware. Denise and Diane take you through the history of this home and then into the hauntings. Moment in Oddity is the Legend of Gray Man and This Day in History features New Amsterdam becoming a city.
