Publisher's Synopsis
Summary:
Echoes from the Beyond: Ghostly Encounters in New England is a collection of chilling stories that explore the haunted history of the northeastern United States. From the eerie witch trials of Hampton, New Hampshire, to the misty mountains of Vermont's Smuggler's Notch, this book delves into the legends and ghostly encounters that continue to haunt New England's landscape.
Each chapter focuses on a different haunted location, uncovering the tales of restless spirits that refuse to leave. Readers are taken through haunted lighthouses, such as New London Ledge in Connecticut, where a tragic lighthouse keeper's ghost lingers, and grand estates like The Mount in Massachusetts, where the spirit of author Edith Wharton is said to remain. The collection also revisits infamous sites like the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts, where the grisly past lives on in ghostly apparitions, and the abandoned ruins of Dogtown, a former colonial settlement steeped in mystery.
As these stories unfold, Echoes from the Beyond paints a picture of New England's past, where historical events and legends merge with the supernatural. Whether it's the spectral Green Lady of Burlington's cemetery or the ghosts of long-lost smugglers in Vermont's rugged mountain pass, each story explores the connection between place and spirit, and how the echoes of history continue to resonate in the present day.
This book invites readers to immerse themselves in the rich folklore of New England, blending historical facts with spine-tingling ghost stories, offering an unforgettable journey through the region's haunted heart.
