These pages are a look back at some of the
memorable places that I have had the
opportunity to investigation with my good
friend Linda Zimmermann. She has written
extensively about many of the locations in her
Ghost Investigator series of books. I highly
recommend that you check out her web site for
more information on the many investigations I
have included in this section.
Unless otherwise noted, these images are all
scanned from original 35mm prints. Thus the
quality of the images vary. Some of the
images may have been cropped or lightened to
enhance their appearance on the site.

LIZZIE BORDON HOUSE
FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS
This is a picture of Linda standing on the spot where, on the
morning of August 4, 1892, Abby Durfee Borden was murdered.
She had suffered from 18 to 19 blows with an axe. Her body was
found laying face down right where Linda is standing.
Abby's husband, Andrew Jackson Borden, had died from 11 blows
with an axe. He was found on a couch on the first floor.
In a sensational trial, Andrew's daughter Lizzie was tried and
acquitted on charges that she had murdered her father and
step-mother.

MINISINK BATTLE FIELD
MINISINK FORD, NEW YORK
This is a picture of me using a Sperry EMF detector on an area
of Minisink Battle Field known as 'hospital rock'. At this spot
on July 22, 1779, Lt. Col. Benjamin Tusten, a physician, and
seventeen wounded militiamen under his care were trapped and
killed by Joseph Brant, A Mohawk Chief and Captain in the
British Army, and his raiders.
On July 20, 1779, Joseph Brant (A Dartmouth educated
warrier)and about ninety Tories and Iroquois Indians terrorized
the Neversink Valley settlements of Peenpack and
Mahackamack (present day Town of Deerpark and City of Port
Jervis, New York) destroying farms, a school, a church and other
buildings. The raiders also stole provisions, cattle and horses.
Their goal was to inflict far and terror on the colonists in
advance of the anticipated American Sullivan Campaign.
On July 21, 1979, a militia of about 120 colonists was organized
in Goshen, New York, and placed under the charge of Lt. Col.
Benjamin Tusten, and Maj. Samuel Meeker. They pursued
the raiding party along the Delaware River. The militia caught
up with Brandt as his party crossed the Delaware near the
Laxawaxen River. As the militia set up an ambush, a shot was
accidentally fired alerting the raiders to the militia.
In the ensuing battle, 45 to 50 militia were killed, including Col.
Tusten, with an estimated seven casualties on Brandt's side.
The dead militia were left at the site and their remains were not
recovered until the year 1822, when a committee was formed to
go and search for the remains. They were later buried in a grave
in Goshen, New York.
The site is maintained today as hallowed ground. It is the only
Revolutionary War battle fought in the northern Delaware
Valley.
