Ghosts in Residence: Stories From Haunted Hudson Valley

Synopsis

When it comes to understanding the dead, there is something unusual about the Hudson Valley; so many ghost stories have come out of this region. Some have become a part of our national lore such as Washington Irving&’s retelling of the legends about Rip Van Winkle and Sleepy Hollow. Most, however, have remained in the Valley where they have been retold from generation to generation. Ghosts in Residence is a collection of stories told by – and in many cases, witnessed by – renown photographer H.A. von Behr during his time living in the Hudson Valley. The intimate stories have, since the original publication of this book, become classics in the region and taken on a legendary quality all their own. The book also includes original black and white photographs taken by von Behr of the houses, graves, and people featured within. From the hauntings of dilapidated country manors and castles, unexplained phenomena along the Valley hillsides, and strange apparitions found lingering within ancient Quaker cemeteries, this collection of stories reveals the otherworldly legacy of the Hudson Valley as a place of ancient spirits.
