Lynda Lee Macken grew up on Staten Island where her interest in the supernatural was fostered. Following her sighting of Grace Brown s ghost floating over Big Moose Lake in New York State s Adirondack Mountains, Macken appeared on Unsolved Mysteries to detail her experience. The ghostly encounter inspired her to found her own publishing company and pen Adirondack Ghosts. In the process to understand paranormal phenomena, the author went on to research, write and publish twenty-seven regional ghost books highlighting the most haunted places in New York State and New Jersey. In addition to her many radio and television appearances, Macken has consulted for Paranormal State, Scariest Places on Earth, Psychic Kids, Ghost Hunters, PBS and the Travel Channel.
