Philipse Manor Hall in Yonkers by Jason Medina.
Ghosts and Legends of Yonkers
|
Published by The History Press (an Arcadia Publishing company), as part of the Haunted America series, this book has been my most popular, so far.
Yonkers is a very old city and being an old city makes it an ideal location for old haunted locations, although not all haunted locations need be old. All it takes is for one wayward spirit to hold on to his or her past life strong enough to cause a haunting. When I first moved to Yonkers the farthest thing from my mind was to conduct paranormal investigations. Over the years, I learned of many local hauntings and ghost stories that got me curious enough to do my own research. Together with my team of paranormal investigators, the Yonkers Ghost Investigators, I have done more than three hundred fifty investigations at numerous locations not only in Yonkers, but also in other cities and states. We have even investigated locations in Puerto Rico. During our investigations we have gathered much evidence of the paranormal to show that ghosts really do exist, including photographs of apparitions, EVP recordings, and videos, as well as reliable eye-witness testimonies. In this book are a few local legends and a list of several locations within Yonkers that are either rumored to be haunted or have been proven to be haunted. Rather than be skeptical, check out the evidence and see for yourself. Who knows? Maybe you will become a believer. |
Correction to Page 62
I'd like to make an amendment to my book. I'm sorry to say I've noticed a mistake on my part. On page 62 I stated the final resting place of Elisha Graves Otis was in an unmarked crypt. Sadly, I was wrong. It is here under this monument, although the crypt does belong to his family. His grave can be found in the northeast corner of Section 2 on Nepperhan Avenue within the cemetery across from the grave of Dr. Charles Leale. I apologize for my error.
