Catskill Ghosts: History & Hauntings in the Catskill Mountain Region

The hauntingly beautiful Catskill Mountains possess a supernatural quality. A longtime haven for artists, musicians, and writers, the legendary highland landscape comes alive not only in Hudson River School paintings but also in mysterious ways.

Once a popular destination for vacationers across the globe, area resorts lodged countless tourists. Some insubstantial innkeepers and spectral guests still lurk in hotels, houses, and restaurants. The apparitions that manifest at area libraries and museums and those of murder victims, slaves, and soldiers, among others, provoke haunting remembrances of the past.

Catskill Ghosts chronicles the paranormal history of the mountain region and takes the reader on an otherworldly journey where the past overlays the present and offers clues to the great unknown.

Author Lynda Lee Macken grew up near a haunted house on Staten Island, where her interest in the supernatural was fostered. Following her sighting of Grace Brown’s ghost at Big Moose Lake in the Adirondack Mountains, Macken researched, wrote, and published thirty regional ghost books highlighting the most haunted places in New York State and New Jersey. In addition to her many radio and television appearances, the best-selling author has consulted for Paranormal State, Scariest Places on Earth, Psychic Kids, Ghost Hunters, PBS, and the Travel Channel.
