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.

EARTHQUAKE in the Year 1811
On December 16, 1811 an earthquake, centered at New Madrid, Missouri, occurred. By modern methods this quake is estimated to have registered well over 9.5. It was followed by three additional quakes with the final one happening on February 13, 1812. This final quake lasted nearly one hour and caused as much damage as the previous three together. Shawnee Chief Tecumseh prophesied this upheaval that for a time caused the Mississippi to run backwards, thus creating a vast lake in Tennessee.

The Railroad, part 12
In 1844 Asa Whitney envisioned a railroad, stretching across the United States from ocean to ocean and began seeking possible routes that would reach from Lake Michigan to the Pacific Coast. Before Congress he proposes such a railroad, asked for a vast land grant, and assures Congress that the Indians will be of no concern. In the next ten years many Indian tribes are forced to concede thousands of acres with some tribes being removed to Indian Territory. The Union Pacific is given until July 1, 1876, to reach the western boundary of Nevada Territory, and God help anyone, white or red, who stands in its way.
