| Was Jack the Ripper secretly from Rochester?
What was hanging from that meat hook?
Who was really responsible for Sam Patch’s fatal plunge over High Falls?
Discover the startling answers in this collection of all-true tales from Rochester, New York’s history. Using newspaper reports, letters, diaries, and vintage photographs, author Cindy Boyer brings to life thirteen of the most unnerving chapters from the city’s past. From grave robbery and cholera epidemics to industrial disasters and unsolved murders, Boyer resurrects the life and times of the growing 19th century metropolis. Ghost Walk is inspired by the Landmark Society of Western New York’s popular Ghost Walk performance and brings together the best stories from the first 10 years of the annual fall event.
You will want to purchase several copies of this delightful book for holiday gift-giving.
Praise for Ghost Walk:
“… like taking a tour through an old cemetery guided by the spirits of Rochester's yesteryears. Everyone of every age will not only enjoy their delightful ‘Ghost Walk,’ but will also learn something of their city from those who made its history.” -Miriam Grace Monfredo, author of the Seneca Falls historical mysteries
“Tantalizing stories … unforgettable characters spring from her pages to haunt 21st century readers. Open her book if you dare.” -Ruth Rosenberg-Naparsteck, Rochester City Historian
“This baker’s dozen collection of tales of the fascinating and the fantastic, the grisly and the gory, proves again that historical fact is stranger than fiction.” -Richard O. Reisem, author of Buried Treasures in Mount Hope Cemetery
