The Ghostly Tales of Delaware by Carie Juettner
This book has a set of thirteen tales about hauntings and other creepy events that have happened in the state of Delaware. A bunch of the unsettling sites date back to the American Revolution or the Civil War, though slightly more contemporary tales are included. A map at the front shows where the spots are, organized roughly north to south throughout the state. One or two of the stories are really heart-breaking, in addition to being chilling.
The book is adapted form Haunted History of Delaware, which is aimed more at adult readers. This is kid-friendly, so it's not really gory (except for Delaware's Headless Horseman) and won't leave you lying in bed at night in a cold sweat. Maybe we'll explore some of the spots in our wanderings--two or three are at the capital, which I bet has ghost tours (and geocaches!).
Recommended for some spookiness.
