These stories often feature haunted locations, such as old houses, cemeteries, and battlefields, reflecting the area's colonial past and its connection to early American history. Many of these ghost stories are tied to real events or figures, such as the Salem Witch Trials or the Lizzie Borden case. They serve to entertain and educate, preserving local legends and cultural heritage while exploring themes of loss, tragedy, and the supernatural.
