Haunted Castles of New England - Paperback

by Sam Baltrusis (Author)

Chilling tales of the supernatural

Ghostly legends are usually associated with the turreted fortifications found throughout Europe and the English countryside. However, New England is also home to several haunted castles filled with paranormal activity, each boasting its own unique legends and lore.

The medieval-style Hammond Castle in Gloucester, Massachusetts, is said to be haunted by the ghost of its former owner, John Hays Hammond Jr. Meanwhile, Castle Craig, which overlooks the Hanging Hills in Meriden, Connecticut, is rumored to be guarded by a legendary black dog, believed to be a harbinger of death.

From New Hampshire's Searles Castle to Belcourt of Newport, author Sam Baltrusis uses careful research and firsthand accounts to explore the history and mystery surrounding some of New England's most haunted castles.
