A colection of true ghost stories from the Hudson Valley region, by Ghost Investigator Linda Zimmermann. These are the revised and updated versions of those stories previously published in four separate books "Ghosts of Rockland County", "Haunted Hudson Valley", "More Haunted Hudson Valley" and "Haunted Hudson Valley 3."

The author describes and dramatizes the most memorable places visited, often with accompanied family members, since leaving the country of his birth in 1966. Author notes: After my retirement in 2007, I found the time to compile this travelogue using the notes in my diaries and updating the material through online research, with particular help from the constantly revised Wikipedia entries. In this process, I learned to make each travel essay an evergreen that would not perish soon after its publication as in the case of newspaper travel pieces. Travel has shaped my personality. Global travel to get to know culturally diverse people was one of my childhood ambitions. Moreover, travel is an essential aspect of a journalists life. Therefore, my travels constitute a very important part of my autobiography. I included detail in the hope that the reader would keep this volume for long-term reference. My explorations of U.S. national parks and my camping expeditions should be of particular interest to family oriented travelers.

A ghost town is only as good as the stories about it. The legends of bar-fights, famous visitors, and big findings of gold are throughout this book. It also has a good map and directions on locating the towns, some of which are "alive" today.
