This is a short read with many historic photos about famous deaths and haunted buildings in Manhattan. Although I was reading for Halloween,I was less interested in the ghosts 👻 and more the history of the city. I‘m not sure I‘ll look at Washington Square quite the same again! This covers some well known events like the heartbreaking Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire + the Crime of the Century to ones lesser known.. #24B4Monday
