With a rich history reaching back more than one thousand years, the
six nations of the Iroquois Confederacy--the Mohawk, the Oneida,
the Onondaga, the Cayuga, the Seneca, and the Tuscarora--are
considered to be the most avid storytellers on earth with a
collection of tales so vast it would dwarf those of any other
society. Covering nearly the whole of New York State from the
Hudson and Mohawk River Valleys westward across the Finger Lakes
region to Niagara Falls and Salamanca, this mystical culture's
supernatural tradition is the psychic bedrock of the Northeast, yet
their treasury of tales and beliefs is largely unknown and their
most powerful sacred sites unrecognized.
Assembling the lore and beliefs of this guarded spiritual legacy,
Michael Bastine and Mason Winfield share the stories they have
collected of both historic and contemporary encounters with beings
and places of Iroquois legend: shapeshifting witches, strange
forest creatures, ethereal lights, vampire zombies, cursed areas,
dark magicians, talking animals, enchanted masks, and haunted
hills, roads, and battlefields as well as accounts of miraculous
healings by medicine people such as Mad Bear and Ted Williams.
Grounding their tales with a history of the "Haundenosaunee," the
People of the Long House, the authors show how the supernatural
beings, places, and customs of the Iroquois live on in contemporary
paranormal experience, still surfacing as startling and sometimes
inspiring reports of otherworldly creatures, haunted sites,
after-death messages, and mystical visions. Providing a link with
America's oldest spiritual roots, these stories help us more deeply
know the nature and super-nature around us as well as offer
spiritual insights for those who can no longer hear the chants of
their own ancestors.
