Greenburgh NY’s Most Terrifying Encounter: Was it a Ghost, Demon, Alien, or Bigfoot?

Video Description

What lies hidden in the shadowy depths of Greenburgh, NY’s forests? In this chilling episode, we explore an obscure but terrifying encounter from the late 18th century, where two young men ignored warnings and ventured into a haunted valley. What they encountered defies explanation—a towering, spectral figure with a sinister presence that left them frozen in fear. When the townsfolk hear of the incident, one of them is determined to see it for himself. Will he regret his decision to face what some have called 'The Grey Horror'? But the horror doesn’t stop there. We’ll also connect this historical account to more recent eyewitness stories that suggest the terror of Greenburgh’s haunted forest may still linger. Was it a ghost, a demon, a cryptid or something even more unthinkable? Join me as I unravel the mystery of this forgotten legend and its disturbing echoes through time. If you’re fascinated by hauntings, ghost stories, cryptids, sasquatch, elementals and the unexplained, this video is for you. DO YOU LIVE IN THE GREENBURGH, NY AREA?

I'm a columnist for the acclaimed paranormal magazine, The Fortean Times, and I've been an 'expert' on the BBC Sounds show Uncanny. I'm also the creator of the Creepy Cove Community Church Podcast and the writer of five books. After growing up very anti-church, I wound up becoming an ordained Reverend in my thirties, but after 12 years of working for churches, I had my first novel published. There have been four books in the Matt Hunter horror-thriller series, as well as a non-fiction book called The Frighteners (which explains and defends morbid interest).
