As one of the nation's oldest cities, Cambridge, Massachusetts, has a tumultuous history filled with Revolutionary War beginnings, religious persecutions and centuries of debate between Ivy League intelligentsia. It should come as no surprise that the city is also home to spirits that are entangled with the past and now inhabit the dormitories, local watering holes and even military structures of the present. Discover the apparitions that frighten freshmen in Harvard's Weld Hall, the Revolutionary War ghosts that haunt the estates of Tory Row and the flapper who is said to roam the seats of Somerville Theatre. Using careful research and firsthand accounts, author Sam Baltrusis delves into ghastly tales of murder, crime and the bizarre happenings in the early days of Cambridge to uncover the truth behind some of the city's most historic haunts.

“Why would anyone want to leave Boston … even after they're dead?”'
--Adam Berry, Ghost Hunters
It should come as no surprise that one of the
nation’s oldest cities brims with spirits of those who lived and died
in its hundreds of years of tumultuous history. Boston, Massachusetts
boasts countless stories of the supernatural. Many students at Boston
College have encountered an unearthly hound that haunts O’Connell House
to this day. Be on the watch for an actor who sits in on rehearsals at
Huntington Theatre and restless spirits rumored to haunt Boston Common
at night. From the Victorian brownstones of the Back Bay to the shores of
the Boston Harbor Islands, author Sam Baltrusis makes it clear that
there is hardly a corner of the Hub where the paranormal cannot be
experienced as he breathes new life into the tales of the long
departed.
About the cover:
Beacon Hill's Acorn Street, known as one of the most-photographed spots in America thanks to its picturesque brownstones and narrow cobblestone lane dating back to the 1820s, is also rumored to be Boston's most haunted. There have been numerous sightings of ghostly, full-bodied apparitions wearing turn-of-the-century and Civil War-era garb passing by the street's ornate, gas-lit lamps.
