Linda Zimmermann

New York's Hudson River Valley is a place of beauty and history. It is also one of the most haunted regions in the country. Read about ancient Indian spirits at Spook Rock, where an innocent girl was murdered in an act of revenge. Encounter soldiers who still walk the battlefield of Fort Montgomery. Visit haunted houses that line the streets of the old Dutch settlements in New Paltz and Hurley, and see a misty figure that haunts the Sickletown Road Cemetery. Beware; a passing shadow or faint whisper may signal that you have just had an encounter in haunted Hudson Valley.

Award-winning author Linda Zimmermann brings together years of research into a comprehensive examination of over a century of UFO sightings in the Hudson Valley of New York, as well as northern New Jersey and western Connecticut. Combining eyewitness accounts and archival material, Zimmermann presents a startling view of what has been occurring in our skies for generations. Chapters include Mysterious Airships of the early 1900s, discs, triangles, rectangles, abductions, the massive wave of sightings in the 1980s, and Pine Bush, known as the UFO Capital of the Northeast.

The reactions of animals during UFO sightings may provide clues to the nature of the phenomenon and how to conduct better research. So many sightings occur because the witness was alerted by a dog barking, or barnyard animals making sounds of alarm, but that aspect is usually just a brief mention in reports. Taking a deeper look, we find that all types of animals, from all around the world, share similar experiences to UFOs. Animals have keen senses and don't have an imagination, so their reactions prove that something real is happening. What can we learn from these animal witnesses?

Just as the Hudson Valley of New York is beginning to rebuild from the zombie apocalypse, a new threat emerges that threatens to destroy everyone in its path. Dr. Rebecca "Becks" Truesdale must face an old enemy, deal with a crushing loss, and put herself in grave danger in order to combat this threat both in the lab and on the battlefield. This is the third in the HVZA series, and is set in New York City, the Hudson Valley, and Albany, New York, where Zimmermann once again brings frightening realism to her story of ordinary people struggling to survive.
