Is New York City Haunted, Experts Hold News Conference On Where They Exist

October 25th, 2007 (New York, NY) Kate Davey, Co-Founder of Finding Dulicinea (www.findingdulcinea.com), an expert of Paranormal and Ghosts, will hold a news conference on Friday October 26, 2007 at 11am in front of St Marks Church Cemetery on 131 East 10th Street in Manhattan, the former farm of NYC Governor and ghost Peter Stuyvesant, to describe the top haunted places that exist in NYC from Edgar Allan Poe to Astor Library Ghost. Ms. Davey will describe the tales and legends that exist prior to the Halloween weekend.

Among the famous buried at St. Marks were Daniel Tompkins, who abolished slavery in New York; New York Mayor Philip Hone; and Peter Stuyvesant. Department store pioneer A.T. Stewart, whose store filled the block between 9th and 10th streets east of Broadway, was buried here in 1876, but on November 6, 1878, his body was snatched and held for $200,000 ransom. The widow eventually regained possession of the corpse in 1881, after bargaining the kidnappers down to $20,000. He now rests elsewhere.
