The busy metropolis of New York, so rich with history and life, is also home to some of the creepiest and spookiest ghosts around. From the Metropolitan Opera House to the dazzling lights of Broadway, and even down the massive network of subway lines under the city, ghosts and ghouls provide folklore to pique the curiousities of tourists and locals alike. Here, historic landmarks, private mansions, and even public parks are possessed by restless spirits who, like so many others, found New York and decided to stay. Explore haunted hotels, bars, restaurants, and shops and admire interesting photographs that illustrate haunted locales. AUTHOR: Terry Schmidt lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter.
