Proceed with caution. Although a fictional character from a legendary story appears on the cover of this book, the enclosed stories are all true and contain possibly disturbing details that will leave you questioning the thin line between reality and the supernatural. While rich in local offbeat history about Sleepy Hollow, NY, this nonfiction book also unveils tales of tragedy, century-old unsolved murders, and ghostly haunts.
Embark on a journey through time in the New York City suburb of Sleepy Hollow. Formerly known as North Tarrytown, this Westchester County village is a treasure trove of culture and history. As we traverse several hundred years, we'll encounter fascinating offbeat local historical figures, including an infamous pirate, a rumored conductor of the Underground Railroad, an eccentric hermit, a local business legend, the elusive Silent Pete, and some real-life people behind Sleepy Hollow's famous legendary story, including the Hessian soldier who lost his head during a nearby Revolutionary War skirmish.
Brace yourself for a bone-chilling journey into Sleepy Hollow's dark underbelly. If you're easily spooked, you might want to stop here. But if you're ready to uncover the spine-tingling history that hides beneath the seemingly pleasant, scenic suburban Hudson River village, then read on. This book is not for the faint of heart but for those who dare to explore the shadows.
