Shawnee Chief Cornstalk’s Curse
In 1998, I worked in conjunction with the former Bethlehem Tourism Authority, BTA, in holding walking ghost tours of the historic area. I wrote the scripts and served as hostess and paranormal expert for the tours. Jeff Parks, my cousin, had introduced me to the executive director, Mary Ann Dwyer. She loved the idea. Jeff thought it would be a good idea to tie the tours in with history. Bethlehem was founded by the Moravians, the first protestant religion, predating Lutheranism. I did not have a computer then, but I have a library of books about the paranormal which is more extensive than any of the local libraries. Imagine my delight when I discovered that one of Cornstalk’s ancestor’s was a Native American who converted to the Moravian Church. This story was told by a cloaked tour guide who carried a lantern in front of the Brethren House. The building was built as a residence for single men and used as a hospital during the Revolutionary War. People have seen the ghost of a Revolutionary War nurse in the building which is, now, part of Moravian College.
