About the author
Vincent T. Dacquino, known on his book covers as Vin Dacquino, is the author of "Hauntings of the Hudson River Valley: An Investigative Journey" (History Press, 2007). The book investigates the true stories behind local folk legends of the Hudson River Valley, including the figures of Sybil Ludington, Chief Daniel Nimham, and George Denny, treating each as a historical case to be researched rather than a ghost story to be retold uncritically. Dacquino's approach favors investigation over anecdote, tracing the legends back toward whatever historical record survives them and presenting the results as a regional history project as much as a paranormal one. The book fits within History Press's series of local hauntings titles and is aimed at readers with an interest in Hudson Valley history and its folklore rather than at readers of general ghost-story collections.
