Reading Irving years later as a graduate student helped inspire her book A bunch of them, actually: Henry Hudson's old crew; a headless Hessian; a woman dragged to death by a horse; former railroad workers; peddlers; an assortment of apparitions from the days of the American Indians and the Dutch While these outsiders had a sense of the valley's past, it was fragmentary She writes about the cultural context of the tales and what they reveal about the Hudson Valley's inhabitants "People grab on to them and reshape them almost as a way of asserting themselves," she says Another example is the story of Anna Dorothea Swarts Working ghost stories often circulated among the immigrant communities from which the dead workers came Through it all, the story remained hazy and undefined Ghost Stories Captivate Richardson Jan 7, 1:38 PM EST There is a specter haunting the Hudson Valley Judith Richardson examines them in her new book, "Possessions: The History and Uses of Haunting in the Hudson Valley Richardson says the stories serve a purpose for the tellers, giving them their own local ghost stories " Consider Irving's most famous tale, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow By the late 20th century, when Richardson was growing up in Haverstraw in Rockland County, she knew six or seven haunted spots near her home The apparition is said to be the spirit of a Hessian brought over to fight for the British in the Revolutionary War Trees tower above lonely hollows and stony-faced hills rise up by the river American Indians lived here, then the Dutch, the English and working immigrants from all over Another version circulated on the verge of the Civil War portrays the ghost as a runaway slave, a prominent issue then " Ichabod Crane is an outsider, a Connecticut Yankee representative of New Englanders who migrated into the valley " She tries to answer why there are so many ghost stories in the valley, a place Washington Irving called "this spellbound region The lack of facts helped ghost stories thrive Valley innkeepers were happy to spread the tourist-attracting tales "And that lends itself to spookiness Richardson says that version, implying Swarts was wronged, was tied to class tensions at that time The credulous school teacher is told the tale of the headless horseman, yet another outsider Richardson's survey of ghosts includes Major Andre, the dashing British officer hanged for transporting military secrets divulged by Benedict Arnold during the Revolutionary War One tale features a ghost train that runs annually with a skeleton orchestra and a coffin "The change and the transiency and the multiple kind of people coming in and out makes this sense of history really tenuous," Richardson says The tale survived though 1942 in a version of the tale that recast the ghost as a Hessian Irving didn't make up Hudson Valley ghost stories, but he made them famous with the likes of Crane and Rip Van Winkle She served a wealthy landowner when she was dragged to death by a horse about 1755 in Leeds, near Catskill But Richardson, who teaches American literature at Stanford University, does not look at ghost stories in a supernatural, "X-Files" sense " The topography of the Hudson Valley seems ready-made for hauntings Many other hauntings involve anonymous ghosts of dispossessed Indians, soldiers or "working ghosts" â€â€? apparitions of brick workers, bridge builders and railroad employees who died on the job The same grand vistas immortalized by Hudson River School painters can look downright spooky with a blanket of midnight fog The facts of the case are foggy, but tellers of ghost stories have filled in the blanks The landowner had tied her to the horse, perhaps after she ran away Local folklore continued to take care of the rest An early 19th century version portrayed her as a ghost with a piercing cry and a lighted candle upon each finger She argues that the successive waves of people who settled the area north of New York City contributed to the valley's ghostly heritage Like a ghost " Garner has starred in several TV series including "Maverick" and "The Rockford Files " He also has made more than 40 movies, including "Murphy's Romance," for which he received an Academy Award nomination in 1985 "Oh, has somebody got a Kleenex?" the Norman native said of Okla Garner's gift will be used to endow a $1 million faculty chair in the university's School of Drama Apr 4, 6:37 AM EST Veteran actor and Oklahoma native James Garner is giving $500,000 to help aspiring actors at the University of Oklahoma The university will request matching funds from state regents to create the James Garner Chair in Drama, the drama school's first endowed position The chair will be designated for the director of the school OU's School of Drama, founded in 1903, is the oldest drama school west of the Mississippi River and the second-oldest university theater school in the United States Actor Garner Gives $500G to Univ I don't have it in front of a camera because I know I can always do it over "Strangely enough, I have a fear of public speaking Garner, 74, got choked up as he spoke to the standing-room-only campus crowd that gathered for the announcement "It is appropriate that the first endowed chair in drama would come from James Garner, who has remained so dedicated to the university and to his hometown of Norman throughout his nationally acclaimed career as an actor," OU President David Boren said |
