Katie did get her history lesson a little mixed up however. In 1758, a small garrison of French regulars occupied the Fort. Upon learning that a much larger British force was approaching to attack, the 3,500 French soldiers took to fortfying the peninsula of which the fort stands. This brillant military manuever cut-off the attacking British force and prevented them from sorrounding the fort. 18,000 British soldiers engaged in a direct frontal assault and attacked the log walls and entrenched French outerworks in the cleared fields of the Fort's peninsula. The protected French defeated the much larger British force in which the 9-hour battle produced over 50% casualty rate for the British (Katie says the French lost). That's 9,000 dead...you think there might be some spiritual activity at this place? There are many other stories and activities to experience...I say go check out the old Haunted Fort at Ticonderoga...both at night and during the day.
