A guide to haunted new england : Tales from Mount Washington to the Newport Cliffs

This guide will hopefully be a road to adventure that the reader has never before experienced. Between the time of this writing and the reader’s embarking along the ghostly trail, some of the places may disappear or close. This is inevitable, as even the spirit world is prone to the iniquity of progress and time. There may be other places that join the ranks of those mentioned in this tome. When journeying through these destinations, never feel sheepish to ask about the haunts of the region, for they are the lasting history that stays alive in both soul and spirit. “Fun, charming . . . includes not only locales with reported ghosts, but also sites with macabre (though not haunted) histories” (True Crime Librarian). Visitors and New England natives alike will see a new side of the region through Thomas D’Agostino’s road trip guidebook. He captures the reader’s imagination with folklore and anecdotes, plus recommendations useful for any traveler. This guide uncovers lingering spirits across all six states in the region, from the victims of alchemy gone awry in the White Mountains, to wraiths in the Berkshires, to the ghosts of drowned sailors in Mystic, Connecticut. Enjoy these retellings of classic New England ghost stories and discover obscure ones, and then go visit the spooky sights for yourself. Includes photos! “Anyone interested in exploring the haunted, macabre and abandoned throughout New England knows they can count on D’Agostino to find out more about the site’s history, past sightings and how to find them.” —Mobile Rving
