Thank you for this fabulous tour, dreary! I love the way you've combined your passion for literature with your keen interest in ghostly places and lore. Your pictures are great, and it was lots of fun listening to you read this. I look forward to more fascinating posts from you!
Thank you, Robin, that is so kind of you! This was so much fun to put together!! I didn’t even know I was passionate about literature but it stood out everywhere I went.
What a tour! So many great places and experiences. A few years ago, I attended a reading of part of Legend of Sleepy Hallow in the Old North Church and the Headless Horseman rode through the graveyard. So much fun! So glad you enjoyed your trip and thank you for this post. I'm saving it for future adventures.
It’s perfect! I visited Tarrytown on a trip to visit family graves at Gate of Heaven in Westchester County. That’s when I discovered the mystery of my missing great grandfather. I still don’t know what happened to him!
Looking for him led me to several other discoveries, but I have never been able to determine what happened to him. He disappeared without a trace sometime between 1900-1910.
If you go to Gate of Heaven, let me know and I'll give you the details for my family plots. They'd love it if you stopped by to say hello!

I like it when gifts reveal themselves.

Oh wow that sounds so cool! I haven’t seen the headless horseman yet in person, only on socials. A reading at the Church sounds like a dream.
I’ve been to all of these places. Thank you for taking me back.
That’s so awesome, Mary!! Let me know if I missed any or if you recommend any other spots.

Holy shnikeys! You have a missing great grandfather?
I’m going to check out Gate of Heaven.

The sixth floor picture ... I would never stay there. Brave soul you are.
It definitely felt creepy but the hotel was so gorgeous that I didn’t mind. Unfortunately I could only afford to stay for one night!
