What is your favorite scary story from the Hudson Valley?

Hudson Valley A+E
Written By HVNY

Seven successive generations of the Livingston family have resided in the 1740s house at the Clermont State Historic Site, so there’s certainly room for some legend and lore. Among them? Margaret Beekman Livingston, known as Peggy to close friends and family, and mother to Chancellor Robert R. Livingston, who passed away in the dining room. Photo by niki@hvny.info.

 

The Headless Horseman? Hulda, the German Witch Doctor (as recently featured in the HVNY weekly newsletter)? The hobgoblin of Uptown Kingston? Or something no one else knows about…yet…
