Reading, Pa - Mrs Bissinger was the wife of Phillip Bissinger and the mother of Phillip, Lillie and Mollie. In 1875, she found out that Phillip wasn't quite the man she wished he was. He wasn't faithful and it destroyed her.
On Aug 17, 1875 at around 5pm, Mrs Bissinger took her children to lock 49 on the Union Canal and leapt into the canal.
Since that day, she and her children have been said to haunt this area. Their small figures have been seen walking along the canal's edge and people visiting the area have been overcome with feelings of sadness.
