Dark Shadows: Lyndhurst photo by Rob Yasinsac, inset photo by Jim LoganThe headless horseman is not the only frightful phantom to grace the area. Fans of the 1960s television series Dark Shadows will recall that Lyndhurst in Tarrytown served as the Collinwood estate in the feature-length film House of Dark Shadows (1970). Sleepy Hollow Cemetery's receiving vault (inset image) made a cameo in that same film as the Collins family mausoleum. Lyndhurst, one of America's finest Gothic Revival mansions, is within walking distance of Washington Irving's Sunnyside by way of the Old Croton Aqueduct walking trail. One of Lyndhurst’s owners, inventor George Merritt, is interred in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Ferdinand Mangold, Lyndhurst’s landscape architect for Merritt and later Jay Gould, is also in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
