Synopsis: The true stories behind three terrifying local legends—photos included. This book delves into three enigmatic folk legends of New York&’s Hudson River Valley: the stories of Sybil Ludington, Chief Daniel Nimham, and George Denny. Each was the central figure in a dramatic series of events; each became enshrined in local lore for their actions; each has had their true story obscured; and each may have left behind a spiritual residue. Follow Vincent Dacquino as he interviews local experts, explores areas where hauntings may have occurred—such as Carmel&’s legendary Smalley&’s Inn—and digs deep into historical archives to open new windows into the lives, and possible afterlives, of these three mysterious characters.
