INTRODUCTION I approached the researching and writing of a ghost book on the Poconos with a certain level of trepidation. Under my literary belt (thin as it may be) were three volumes of ghost stories in Berks Countyï¼Œ Pennsylvania; Cape May and Long Beach Islandï¼Œ New Jersey and the Delaware coast. The Poconos were populated with resort hotelsï¼Œ time- shares and tourist trapsï¼Œ condos and concessionsï¼Œ and noth- ing more. I needed some intensive re-education about a land I had at once over- and under-estimated. I had over-estimated the crass commercialism of the region. This is mostly a veneer which may be a gleaming facade for those who choose to look no deeper. But beneath it is the rich grain of a fine stock. My under-estimation of the Poconos was that it was probably devoid of any substantive legends and loreï¼Œ and the ghosts which were abundant in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country and along the dunes and pine barrens of the Jersey Shore could certainly not exist in the Poconos. Wowï¼Œ was I wrong! After allï¼Œ these now-romantic im- ages of the windswept shore and placid Dutch Country vil- lagesï¼Œ fields and forests were only made possible after the gaudyï¼Œ glitzy and sometimes gauche realities of resort townsï¼Œ boardwalksï¼Œ honky-tonk amusement parksï¼Œ pizza and tee-shirt shops and tourist traps in those locations were stripped away.
