Description
Strange and ghostly tales of historic Buffalo, New York.
The Spirits do not rest easily in Buffalo, New York. Specters of those who perished in the War of 1812 still wander along Main Street, where charred remains of their homes once stood. The ghosts of Erie Canal brawlers and loose women, even now, ply their trades along the former bustling towpath.
Learn about strange Native American witchcraft that caught the attention of the U.S. government and lost cemeteries rediscovered during private and municipal improvement projects. Visit hidden passages located under the respectable streets of the Nickel City where gangsters held card games and stored illegal liquor. Find out about miraculous healings occurring in heavenly basilicas, as well as in humble chapels.
These are just some of the fascinating and terrifying tales of one of the most historically significant cities on the Great Lakes.
