Strange and Twisted
Did you know that Greenwich Village’s Washington Square Park is haunted? New York city planners built the now-famous park and marble arch on top of 20,000 dead bodies.
New York City is known for its crushing hustle and bustle, and many of America’s most historically significant people lived their lives layered on top of one another for hundreds of years. The city has such a rich and ruthless history that it is one of the best places to visit when you see truly spooky tales. With every step you take in this concrete jungle, you unearth new histories and around every corner, you’ll encounter a story you’ve never heard before.
“I live in Greenwich Village and had no idea how much eerie history was behind this area! So great for NYC residents or visitory looking to learn more about the area.”
