In 1900 some of the best farmland in Rensselaer County was flooded to create the Tomhannock Reservoir. Some farms were moved by horse teams over greased logs, many of them remain to this day. Some farms were abandoned to the flood. Today, when the waters of the reservoir cry out under the burden of thick winter ice, local legends say that it's the sounds of the ghost farms under 12.3 billion gallons of dark water.

Reanimated History
New from Nor'easter Films, Reanimated History. These manufactured videos are built from historic still images.
The top video is the day the Green Island Bridge collapsed into the Hudson River, March 15, 1977. Video from the time is rare.
The bottom video was built from a hand-cranked panorama of the Troy, New York waterfront and Hudson River on October 7, 1909.
Look for more Reanimated History videos and a larger project coming this Spring.
