Bizarre Brooklyn: Stories and of Tragic, Macabre and Ghostly

My special guest is Allison Huntington here to discuss her book called Bizarre Brooklyn. Get it now from Amazon.My special guest, Allison Huntington—better known as Brooklyn’s own Madame Morbid—joins me to dive into the strange and shadowy past of New York’s most iconic borough in her book Bizarre Brooklyn (available now on Amazon).

From secret graves beneath city parks to ghostly subway tunnels and fallen aircraft on neighborhood streets, Allison unearths the eerie, overlooked, and downright bizarre corners of Brooklyn’s 400-year history. This isn’t the Brooklyn you think you know—it’s darker, weirder, and far more haunted.

Brooklyn. The most populous borough in New York City. Birthplace of the Dodgers, Sweet'n Low, and Season 21 of "The Real World.'? With more than 400 years under its belt, the borough is filled with a history of both sweet and savory moments.

It's hard to imagine Brooklyn as anything other than a concrete jungle. Who would guess that that first battle of the Revolutionary War was fought here? Or that the world's oldest subway is hidden beneath the streets of Boerum Hill? Or how an airplane fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the street in Park Slope? Hundreds of people pass by the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument in Fort Greene Park everyday. Virtually no one stops to read the plaque. If they did, they would learn that it is actually a grave, holding up to 15,000 bodies.

Author Allison Huntington Chase, Brooklyn's own Madame Morbid, takes readers on a journey beyond the brownstones, to discover the hidden, macabre and bizarre throughout Brooklyn history.
