Adirondack Ghost Stories

Adirondack Ghost Stories features tales of hauntings, apparitions, and the hidden lives of spirits that lurk with the towns and mountains of the Adirondacks. Collecting stories written by well-known local authors, psychics, mediums, ghost hunters, and award-winning short story writers, editor Dennis Webster returns to showcase the uncanny and unnerving presence that all of us - at some time - have felt hovering just behind our shoulder. From the mysterious ghost who walks the shores of White Lake, to the face of the young woman who jumped from the high peaks and now appears on her tombstone, the hauntings at Barkeater Chocolates, the truth about what happened to Troop 48 those decades ago at Camp Russell, and many more, Adirondack Ghost Stories explores the otherworldy happenings that take place in one of the most ancient and mysterious places in the country.

Ghost stories from the Adirondacks have never been so creepy, fun, and full of mystery! The haunted history of The Mountains comes to life--even when the main players are dead.

Dive into this spooky chapter book for suspenseful tales of bumps in the night, paranormal investigations, and the unexplained; just be sure to keep the light on.

The Sagamore Resort on an island in Lake George has been welcoming vacationers since 1883, and many have never left. Held captive in a remote mansion by her husband until her death, Mary Rhinelander still wanders the burned-out ruins of her earthly confinement. Writer and paranormal investigator Dennis Webster highlights the scariest haunts the Adirondacks can offer.
