When William Durant was a young man he did something he has regretted ever since.

A few days before Halloween, he rented a camp on Indian Point near Raquette Lake. The local townspeople told him to stay away from the graveyard or else the spirits would get angry and he'd have to face the consequences.  He doesn't believe them and decides to take a stroll through the graveyard to prove that ghosts don't exist.  What happens next will surprise you; perhaps ghosts really do exist.

I liked “Adirondack Nightmare,” but feel I'm a little too old for it. It wasn't scary enough for me.  I think it would appeal to ages 7 to 9, or kids who don't like books too scary.  I thought the recipes inside were cool and want to try them.
