aren't lots of books with titles like "Haunted New York" with some overlap in the haunted locations described but lots of different ones as well in each book.
One of my brothers owned a place that was haunted for a while. Beautiful custom home built around 1980, ten years before my brother bought it. Solar panels on the roof. Stunning pool.
The wife of the previous owner, the builder, had died in the house.
When my brother was away on business trips, my sister-in-law would sometimes hear the sound of a woman crying at night. Other nights, there might be the sound of pots and pans being slammed around in the kitchen.
There would be sounds of something hitting against the outside of an outer wall of the master bedroom on the second floor, though there were no trees nearby.
That bedroom door would swing wide open and shut again for no obvious reason.
They'd sometimes find their young daughter sleeping in the hall outside her bedroom door, and though she could remember having been afraid and having left her room because of that, she couldn't explain exactly why.
I found during the few years that they lived there that for some reason I'd sometimes stumble on the landing just a few steps below the second floor. And one day when I was following my sister-in-law and mother up the stairs to see some changed decor in my niece's room, the one closest to the top of the stairs, I saw a blue shoe or leather slipper for an instant before someone stepped up and the shoe disappeared from sight. When I got to my niece's room, my mother and sister-in-law were already on the other side of the room, talking about the changes that had been made. Neither had blue shoes on that day.
Years after my brother had sold the house, I was driving past one day and noticed there was a garage sale. I stopped and chatted for a while with the man who'd bought the house, and I finally asked him if he'd noticed anything odd about it. He told me that sometimes he thought he saw someone walk past him,caught that movement with his peripheral vision, but when he looked in that direction, no one was there.
The house certainly didn't look spooky. Perfectly lovely modern home on a very pretty modern cul-de-sac. But I don't doubt what my brother and sister-in-law told me. And I was no more than 8 feet away from the landing where I clearly saw a blue shoe before it disappeared up the stairs.
