  • In New York State
    SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2016 SECTION T ON ON3 MARKET VALUE Start the holiday festivities with a tour of some of Germany’s best Christmas markets, T6 TRAVEL Ghost hunting in New York State The Rolling Hills Asylum in rural East Bethany is straight out of central casting. AMITY PHOTO JENNIFER BAIN TRAVEL EDITOR ACROSS NEW YORK STATE—Casper Cop chucks coins across the darkened Treasureland arcade at the Sylvan Beach Amusement Park and lets them ricochet on the ancient wooden floor. “It’s James. I’ve got a friend here who’d like to meet you. I’ve got recorders going. You gonna do something for us? We’d really love to meet you.” Casper Cop is private investigator James Pendell by profession and ghost hunter by passion. He has a seasonal gig leading the Park After Dark Ghost Tours. “I’ve got a penny,” Pendell says cajolingly to the darkness. “Will you throw it back to me? Where’s my little girl?” A prankster spirit child sometimes tosses the coins back or jingles them. She’s one of the many ghosts said to roam this paranormal paradise in a vintage amusement park. Pendell’s tours start just as the park is closing and contin- ue when he has the place to himself for several spooky hours, making for a “high freakout factor.” He has earned one of 65 spots on the Haunted History Trail of New York State, which launched three years ago and keeps adding places such as creepy inns, parks, thea- tres, museums, restaurants and cemeteries, offering ghost stories, tours and hunts.
