Stories of ghosts and other supernatural phenomena create an aura of foreboding and mystery in upstate New York. Tortured souls try to escape from the Inebriate Asylum in Binghamton; Native American treasure lies buried beneath the banks of the Susquehanna River; grandeur and heartbreak haunt Wellsville's Pink House; and locals speculate about the identity of a young woman in white who walks "Devil's Bend" in Owego. Local learning institutions are also fraught with otherworldly beings--Elmira College, SUNY Fredonia and Binghamton University students all have long told stories about the paranormal. Folklorist Elizabeth Tucker tells these and other eerie legends of haunted homes, mansions, churches, parks and cemeteries of the Southern Tier.

Book excerpt: On the easternmost edge of Westchester County, among the quiet communities nestled against the Connecticut state line, memories of eerie incidents and haunted happenings flow through the generations like the currents of the nearby Hudson River. The old-timers of South Salem and Waccabuc still recall the legendary Leather Man, an itinerant vagabond who rambled mysteriously through the region in the late 1800s. Over in Goldens Bridge they whisper of the Christmas Soldier, an apparition of a Revolutionary-era Patriot who stalks the Highway 22 corridor. And beneath Long Pond Mountain the locals listen attentively for the Wail of the Wind, the sorrowful moan attributed to two ghostly parents lamenting their sons drowning. Read Maureen Koehls Lewisboro Ghosts to discover the spooky stories and supernatural sightings that linger in this tucked-away corner of the lower Hudson Valley.

Book excerpt: Hans Holzer has travelled around the globe, pursuing restless spirits in a shadowy world. This latest volume by the renowned parapsychologist is close to home and especially interesting to New England readers. The setting is the northeastern United States, and the characters are many and absorbing. These are sharp and vivid stories of the author’s encounters with ghosts, meetings that support his view that ghosts are un¬happy people, ready to be sent beyond the veil. Dr. Holzer and a medium, in most cases the late Sybil Leek, investigated spectral phenomena in the private and public byways of many villages and cities — Rye, New York; New Ipswich, Whitefield, and Henniker, New Hampshire; Somerville, Rehoboth, Cohasset, and Boston, Massachusetts; New York City, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Staten Island. Here are some of the characters you will meet: The Ghosts of Barbery Lane—Mrs. Wainright, a ghost who likes to slam doors and rattle through the attic; Marion Gernt, 300 years old and still suffering a fiery nightmare; Hungry Lucy—the ghost in June Havoc’s former townhouse on New York’s Westside, whose tapping sounds lead Dr. Holzer to a tale from the American Revolution; The Little Girl Ghost, a lonely, difficult girl who fell to her death in a haunted house in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania; The Somerville Ghost—cries in the night, and a grim story of murder.
