Gather around to hear some spooky tales of New York State. Our two main legends are that of the Hudson River Ghost Ship and the White Lady of Durand Eastman Park. Whether you’re from Buffalo, Albany, NYC, or somewhere in between, there’s something in this episode for everyone. And if you’re not a New Yorker, you’ll walk away with some new spooky lore to share around the campfire with friends. 

Warning: Descriptions aren’t too graphic but there are mentions of murder, suicide, death, mutilation, cannibalism, and mummification.
