Nestled on the banks of the Hudson River, Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown are steeped in history and ghost lore. Famous for Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” the storied Westchester region also has a dark history of witches, spies, and pirates. Rumors of Headless Horseman sightings surge during spooky season while visitors flock to the Valley’s haunted hot spots like the Old Dutch Church and the famed writer’s Sunnyside home. Join author and journalist Sam Baltrusis on a bone-chilling journey through the streets of Sleepy Hollow as he breathes new life into the legendary village’s long-departed souls. Baltrusis, author of Ghosts of Sleepy Hollow: Haunts of the Headless Horseman, has penned eighteen paranormal-themed books. He has been featured on several national TV shows, including the Travel Channel’s A Haunting, Most Terrifying Places, Haunted Towns and Fright Club (1 and 2). Baltrusis also made a cameo in the documentary The House in Between 2 and on several additional television programs, including The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd, History’s Most Haunted, Paranormal Nightshift and Forbidden History.
