The Ghost Story
The oldest continuously inhabited street in America, Historic Huguenot Street spans seven stone houses built by French Huguenot settlers in the 1700s—each with its own resident ghost. In the Freer House, Ms. Annie DuBois threw herself down a well in her white gown upon hearing her young lover had died, and visitors still see her sobbing at the well's edge. In the Abraham Hasbrouck House, a child's bones were discovered in the basement after a clairvoyant resident described visions of a buried child—the remains crumbled before they could be identified. Howard Grimm, an 82-year-old board member murdered by an axe-wielding intruder in 1970, walks the street at night. Ghost lights are left burning in every house to keep the friendly spirits company.
