 More Haunted Northern New York North Country Books (2003) More Haunted Northern New York has 40 full-length stories of ghosts and spirits in the North Country. There are dozens of photographs of the haunted locations, as well as of spirit energy at those locations. There is also a section of spirit encounters with loved ones from beyond. The counties covered include: St. Lawrence, Franklin, Jefferson, Clinton, and Essex. Most of the stories have never been told in another book before, and most of the stories include exact addresses. There are several stories that are anonymous but include a street name.

She'd obviously had a rough night. Her face sported a bruise and a scrape, like that from a rug burn. How could she tell her coworkers what happened when she didn't even know herself? How could she explain her suspicion that it was some psycho ghost living in her home that didn't want her sleeping there? How do you explain the unexplainable without adding insult to injury? Liberty Avenue II, Massena Lisa and Charlie had barely settled in for the night when a strange tapping came over the baby monitor on Lisa's night stand. It sounded like someone was tapping on the dresser in the baby's room where the monitor sat. Charlie jumped out of bed and ran across the hall to the nursery to see what was going on. The room was noticeably cooler. Then, just as he felt someone touch him on the shoulder, he realized that his newborn daughter, Belle, had stopped breathing in her crib! Soldier in Distress, Fort Drum It was difficult for Dianne to make out the figure by the side of the road up ahead, due to the blowing snow and darkness. But, as she drove closer, she could see that it was a soldier motioning for her to stop and follow him. Was there some kind of accident? When she was nearly up to the waving man, he turned and ran back through the woods behind the cemetery. She expected him to return quickly with some sort of request for assistance or instructions, but he never did. She waited for about 20 minutes, but the soldier had disappeared into the desolate cemetery on Route 26 between Evans Mills and Great Bend. Hell Hath No Fury, Evans Mills Evans Mills is a very small town with a very big problem—a ghost with a bad attitude. Right there on North Main Street, in a big, old Victorian house where a teenage girl named Anne was supposedly stabbed to death by her own brother as her parents watched a long time ago. They had found out she was practicing witchcraft, it is said, which was forbidden and sinful in the days of old. But that didn't justify her murder, and she is determined that someone is going to pay for the crime, even if they had nothing to do with it. Phone Call From Beyond, Malone Brian's grandmother—a strong-willed woman with a passion for life and family—passed away in March of 2000 at 91 years of age. She'd had a stroke three months earlier that left her paralyzed and unable to speak. But once she passed over, there was nothing that could stop her from keeping "in touch." |
