The Lost Village of Kensico: Nightmarish Neighborhood #1
Beneath the murky depths of Kensico Reservoir, which provides drinking water to Westchester County, NY, and New York City, are the remains of a forgotten village with a horrific history.
Proceed with caution. This collection of true stories is a window into a lost farming community nestled between Valhalla and White Plains, NY. It's a journey through possibly disturbing and shocking events, from local offbeat history to tragic tales, cruel crimes, disturbing deaths, shocking scandals, and bloody battles.
The eerie expedition through this nightmarish neighborhood begins with its Native American inhabitants in the 1600s and revisits Kensico, NY, through the early 20th century in its final days. Along the way are appearances by some of history's biggest names, including Major John Andre and George Washington, as well as numerous former residents. We also revisit several unsolved crimes, including Westchester County's oldest cold case, as we try to find justice for the victim of a vicious ax murder.
If you're easily frightened, you may want to stop now. Otherwise, be prepared to discover the horrific hidden history of the lost village of Kensico.

not much of a nightmare…
An interesting history piece, but really a loosely related collection of unrelated events in the brief history of Kensico Village. I bought the whole 4-book set on Kindle, and I hope the others have more to offer.
