STEEPED IN LEGENDS AND HAUNTED BY A CURSE
Born from the chill waters of Lake Ontario and the Genesee
River, Rochester, New York has been the cradle of the modern
spiritualist and anti-Masonic movements and many religious sects
and utopian communes. This unusual history has given rise to
many strange legends and shrouded the city in mystery.
Was the corner of Main and Elm Streets, the former McCurdy's
Department store cursed? Who was Captain William Morgan, and
why did he suddenly disappear? What stories lie behind
Rochester's first murder and execution? And who was the Hoodoo Doctor?
From century old tales of Native American folklore, the history
of the Fox Sisters, the secrets of the Freemasons, and the
murder of William Lyman, Folklore & Legends of Rochester,
The Mystery of Hoodoo Corner, takes us on a journey into the
past while unraveling the solution to an ancient mystery.
