About this Event
Missed last Autumn's Haunted Bay Ridge walking tour! You're in luck. I'm leading this special edition of the Haunted Bay Ridge walking tour because outside of October, March certainly has the most moody, spooky weather.
From a faceless woman late one night on a lonely street near a local church, to the murders of an old spinster and kidnappers, to a ghost haunting a local railroad, to a shadow being watching a little boy, to a secret society right in our midst, it’s time to turn up our collars, hit the streets, and beware the things that go bump in the night.
Led by James Scully — NYC historian, tour guide, podcaster, director / co-creator of the award-winning historical audio fiction soap opera, , and creator of the — our unique haunted Bay Ridge experience will focus on and include:
• Stories of M**der and mayhem, from the death of an old spinster, to the heroic actions of a member of a prominent family, we’ll find out the many motives for crime and how Bay Ridge was the perfect setting for these unfortunate events.
• The story of how a man’s late-night walk down a Brooklyn side-street led him to confront the spirit of a veiled woman with no face in front of a locally famous Basilica
• The story of how a secret society of skull worshipers in Brooklyn started, rose, peaked, and disappeared all near a famous hilltop Bay Ridge mansion
• How the death of a young woman along the Coney island and Sea Beach railroad led to a ghost haunting the train tracks soon after
• The story of the Indian Pond, the border of Gravesend and New Utrecht, and a boy awoken from sleep in the middle of the night by a shadow being standing over his bed
• The story of a revolutionary war cemetery still inhabited by some of Bay Ridge’s most famous residents
• And more!
See you there!
