Ghosts in the Parks
Virginia Carnes, historian, Curator for Westchester Dept. of Parks, Recreation
and Conservation, presents fascinating tales of strange and eerie events that have
occurred in Westchester County Parks.
And you thought parks were peaceful, natural retreats. Now you will learn the true stories of ghosts,
goblins, ghastly crimes, even murder, that have and continue to haunt our parks.
Come and learn the spooky, creepy and ghostly side of Westchester County parks.
 Just in time for Halloween!
