Weird New York is a travel guide with a difference. Instead of directing you to all the normal tourist spots, the Weird U.S. team take us to the weirdest, the wackiest and the creepiest places in New York state. From run-down asylums to roadside 'big things'; from grisly murder scenes to personalised properties; from urban legends to haunted cemeteries - you will never look at New York in the same way again. In addition to some very interesting stories, this book also includes some fascinating photography. The pictures of abandoned asylums are particularly creepy. This is well worth reading and, if you are visiting New York any-time soon (or you live in the area), why not skip the Statue of Liberty, Central Park and the Empire State Building, and check out some of these less well-known attractions?

Epigraph
Dedication
I'd like to dedicate this book to my brother Gregg, without whom I wouldn't be nearly as weird as I am today. Franny G., you're okay too.
