Haunted Old Forge

by Dennis Webster, Bernadette Peck

Spirits linger on the pine-covered slopes of the Adirondack Mountains that surround Old Forge. Books fly off the shelves at the Maxson House, and something--or someone--spies on the living from the attic window of the Goodsell Museum. The spirit of Mohawk Peter Waters is said to linger along the shores of First Lake, where an assassin killed him in 1833. The scent of a phantom cigar hints at the presence of the former owner of the Strand Theatre. Authors Dennis Webster and Bernadette Peck and the Ghost Seekers of Central New York take a chilling journey into the paranormal history of what may be the most haunted town in the nation.

An entertaining read if you're familiar with Old Forge. It's fun to read about a haunting and realize you were standing in that exact place.

However, the writing quality is meh, and typos abound. Also, there's an annoying tendency to talk about some great photographic evidence that for some reason doesn't appear in the book.

If you've been to Old Forge, this book is a fun way to revisit a few iconic locations.
