Back Jacket
Reading line: Eerie tales and spine-tingling stories from the Bay State Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder...let your imagination run wild as you read about Massachusetts's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of the Gloucester sea serpent or Berkshire County's Bigfoot sightings, but perhaps you haven't you heard about: Pontoosuc Lake's phantom canoe, which carries the ghosts of two star-crossed Mohegan lovers who chose to die together rather than live apart; the haunted Danvers Lunatic Asylum, whose former residents never really left; eyewitness accounts of UFOs sightings that date back to the mid-1800s; and the "Ghost Walk," an area over the water near Little Brewster Island that's surrounded by a mysteriously undetectable sound barrier. Cheri Farnsworth is the author of Globe Pequot's Haunted New York, Haunted New York City, Haunted Connecticut, and The Big Book of New York Ghost Stories. She has had a lifelong interest in regional history and the paranormal, particularly in New England. She lives with her family in Massena, New York.
Author Biography
Cheri Revai Farnsworth is the author of the best-selling Haunted Northern New York series, The Big Book of New York Ghost Stories, Haunted Connecticut, Alphabet Killer, and eight other titles of true crime and the paranormal. She is a native of upstate New York's "north country" but has many fond memories of family vacations in the adjacent New England states. Her nostalgic recollections, along with a lifelong interest in regional history and the paranormal, prompted her to accept the challenge of writing about the strange phenomena of a state she believes may be the most haunted of all--Massachusetts. Farnsworth is retired and lives in Massena, New York, with her family.
