Author Sara Kaushal shares facts surrounding the long-told legends of Dayton
All towns have their legends and Dayton is no exception. As part of the Far Hills Speaker Series, author Sara Kaushal will share facts surrounding the long-told ghost stories of Dayton from her new book, Dayton Ghosts and Legends.
As in her previous book, Murder and Mayhem in Dayton, Sara will tell us stories of:
- Paul Sorg who still sits in his favorite seat in the Sorg Opera House more than a hundred years after his death
- the so-called phantom terrorized truck drivers crossing the Englewood Dam before disappearing for good
- the famed Butter Street Monster who roams Germantown
- Magee Park, home to numerous bigfoot and ghost sightings—and even a unicorn sighting
- the tower on Patterson Boulevard in Kettering near Hills and Dales Park, a building of many names which has been the source of stories for generations, but only now is its true story finally told.
