Johnson Hall State Historic Site

250 years ago, colonists in the Mohawk Valley shared chilling tales of death and supernatural horrors brought from their homelands or born of legends in North America. Join us at Johnson Hall as storyteller Campbell Higle recounts tales of the restless dead from Germany and Ireland, ghostly apparitions from the Mohawk and Hudson valleys, and even the grisly legend of the infamous Scottish cannibal, Sawney Bean! Note Well! This program includes tragic and terrifying stories of death, murder, cannibalism, and vengeful ghosts, and is not recommended for young children. Due to limited space, pre-registration is required. Please call (518) 762-8712 for more information.
