Let’s talk about Witches! Particularly a hag who lurks through the streets of New Yorks Capital! When this shrill old woman only got 12 baked goods when she wanted a dozen, she cursed the German baker! Not only did his business begin to fail, but the smoke from his chimney would choke him & invisible hands pelted him with hot coals! Only when visited by the ghost of a saint did he realize how to end the Albany Curse!

I’ve got this exciting story from Charles M Skinners, Myth & legends of our own lands, a favorite of mine! Plus mentions of a few other nearby Hudson River legends, from a Dutch dress wearing queen Goblin, Heer, of Dunderburg or the widely told tale of ol time traveling Rip Van Winkle! & the origins of French toast?! Plus more Old Albany talk, a local urban legend where the Albany Hag could be living today leading a cult who lives under our sewers! Hear about it all today on Tales from the Fringes!
