Are there alligators under New York City? Did the military take the lessons learned in the so-called "Philadelphia Experiment" of 1943 and apply the same technology at Montauk-to develop a weapon that would literally drive the enemy insane? Just who was the homeless man who walked a 365-mile route every thirty-four days, dressed in heavy leather? From the Lake Champlain monster to the friendly ghost hostess of Skene Manor, New York Myths and Legends makes history fun and pulls back the curtain on some of the Empire State's most fascinating stories.
