A Haunted History of Invisible Women

Book cover of A Haunted History of Invisible Women

Don’t miss this reading by Leanna Renee Hieber and Andrea Janes from their book A Haunted History of Invisible Women.

From the notorious Lizzie Borden to the innumerable, haunted rooms of Sarah Winchester’s mysterious mansion, this offbeat, insightful, first-ever book of its kind explores the history behind America’s female ghosts, the stereotypes, myths, and paranormal tales that swirl around them, what their stories reveal about us—and why they haunt us.

Sorrowful widows, vengeful jezebels, innocent maidens, wronged lovers, even the occasional axe-murderess—America’s female ghosts differ widely in background, class, and circumstance. Yet one thing unites them: their ability to instill fascination and fear, long after their deaths. Here are the full stories behind some of the best-known among them, as well as the lesser-known—though no less powerful. Tales whispered in darkness often divulge more about the teller than the subject. Riveting for skeptics and believers alike, with humor, curiosity, and expertise, A Haunted History of Invisible Women offers a unique lens on the significant role these ghostly legends play both within the spook-seeking corners of our minds and in the consciousness of a nation.

This reading takes place indoors at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery’s Washington Irving Memorial Chapel.

Hieber is an award-winning author, actress, playwright and narrator. Andrea Janes is the owner and founder of Boroughs of the Dead.
