Washington Irving called the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York
a "spellbound region," and the ghosts that linger from more than
four hundred years of history provide proof of Irving's intuition.
In Hudson, Maggie Houghtaling's ghost haunts the "Register-Star"
building, where she was hanged in 1817 for murdering her child--a
crime for which she was later cleared. The ghost of a young Native
American girl haunts Claverack Creek, where she threw herself into
the water when her father forbade her to be with the man she loved.
In Greenport, Peter Hallenbeck was murdered by his nephews in his
home, where his spirit still lingers. Discover these and other
eerie tales of hauntings in the Catskill Mountains.

Witches and Warlocks of New York is a collection of legends and
historical accounts about witches and warlocks from the Empire
State. This will be the second in a series (the first being
Massachusetts publishing September 1, 2021). New York has a
surprisingly rich history of witches and witchcraft. These stories
are known locally in the towns where they occurred but have never
been collected into one book before. Included are a history and
origins of witchcraft in New York State and historical tales of
"witches" across the state including Hulda and the thirteen Witches
of the Catskills.
