Don't miss the Sherwood House's annual Candlelight Tour on Sunday, December 7, 2014. It's a free event for the whole family. Aside from a free tour of the oldest farmhouse in Yonkers, there will be Christmas carols sung by the Yonkers Male Glee Club, a X-Mas gift shop, food and beverages, and a chance to make new friends. Some of our team will be there, as well.

Yonkers is a very old city and being an old city makes it an ideal location for old haunted locations, although not all haunted locations need be old. All it takes is for one wayward spirit to hold on to his or her past life strong enough to cause a haunting.
In this book are a few local legends and a list of several locations within Yonkers that are either rumored to be haunted or have been proven to be haunted. Rather than be skeptical, check out the evidence and see for yourself. Who knows? Maybe you will become a believer. Expect this project to be published by The History Press and ready by Spring of 2015.
