Tales of Albany: Local History Book club

Discover the eerie legends and rich history of New York's Catskill region as we discuss Haunted Catskills by Lisa LaMonica.

“Washington Irving famously described the Catskill Mountains as a ‘spellbound region,’ and the ghosts said to linger from more than four hundred years of history seem to prove his intuition.”

From haunted inns and mysterious landmarks to tales of restless spirits, the book explores the folklore and fascinating past that have made the Catskills one of New York's most legendary regions.
