Summary

In these new mystery stories set in New York City, we will travel through time at different periods of the history of the city, from its foundation as New Amsterdam to our days. Stories include:- Captain Kidd's Treasure, which could be hidden somewhere on Manhattan, Long Island or Gardiner's Island;- The wreck of the HMS Hussar in the East River with a big treasure on board during the American Revolution;- The Leatherman, a mysterious vagabond who travelled constantly on the same 365-mile-loop in Connecticut and New York for more than 30 years, returning to the same towns every five weeks;- The disappearance of Judge Joseph Crater, a Supreme Court judge who vanished into thin air in shady circumstances, which illustrates the intense corruption of the 1920s and 30s;- The existence and sometimes rediscovery of many hidden underground structures, such as the pneumatic tube mail system, the City Hall subway station, the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel and the maze of tracks, platforms, and rooms under Grand Central Terminal. #sleep #bedtimestory #asmr #sleepstory #history #mystery #newyorkcity Welcome to Lights Out Library Join me for a sleepy adventure tonight.
