Seeking ghosts in the warwick valley - 60 personal accounts

Warning:
These stories will make you bolt your doors and sleep with the lights
on.  Beloved as a pastoral paradise by
weekenders and vacationers, beautiful Warwick, New York, is a historic town
that boasts of bucolic dairy farms, gingerbread Victorian homes, and winding
back roads that lead to scenic hamlets and villages.  An artists community has grown up in the
area, inspired by the natural beauty of the surroundings.  However, all is not perfect in this seeming
Paradise.  In fact, many of the
numerous bed and breakfasts that dot the valley are home to ghosts, as are a
number of area restaurants.  On
investigation, author Donna Reis uncovers more than 60 firsthand encounters
with the supernatural.  She recounts
the chilling tales as told to her by more than 100 Warwick Valley
residents.  The spirits explored in
these pages range from the benevolent who come to bid a loved one good-bye or
relay a message before going to the other side, to tormented spirits who died
tragically and are caught in a struggle to find closure, to poltergeists and
vengeful Native American ghosts released when their graves were
disrupted.  This is a spine chiller for
anyone who revels in a good ghost story, and an excellent tour for spirit
chasers looking for haunted sites to visit.
