New York has a rich heritage of folklore. The author of Spooky New York has picked 30 great stories to share. My favorites are story number 4 entitled "Redemption", story number 9, called "The Rising of Gouverneur Morris" and story number 21 called "Henry Hudson and the Kaatskill Gnomes". The book has 30 stories and all 30 are told in an interesting manner, some of the stories have surprise endings. A few popular folklore legends are recounted such as "The Maid of the Mist". This is a great story to read for anyone visiting Niagara Falls. The story provides some background material and reads in an interesting manner. If you are planning a visit to the Rochester area the first story in the book called "The White Lady of the Lake" may interest you. The setting for the story is the Durand - Eastman Park. The park is on Lake Ontario, a great setting for a picnic. You may even be able to find the stair's mentioned in the story. There are several great stories about the New York City area, There's an Empire State Building ghost story, a story about buried treasure on Liberty Island and many more fasinating tales. I highly recommend this book.
