ATTENTION LOVERS OF LOON-LACED TERROR AND ADIRONDACK ARCANA:

From the very campfire ring where “Old Veritas” once spotted a ripple with no stone, we present a new entry in the Winds of W Mountain series.

This week, descend into 1816’s haunted cradle—a time when Chateaugay Lake’s first settlers built their shanty not on land, but atop a bed of dread. Hear of Judith Drew’s haunted washbasin. Of a winter where the wind was not the only thing that howled. Of a child born beneath W Mountain’s ever-gazing eye—and the silence that answered.

First told back in 1911 by Indian Point House’s own Uncle Dick Shutts, this tale speaks of a cabin that heard more than prayers and a woods that never gave up its seat. You’ll meet Squire Miles, the Bible-thumpin' justice of the peace, who dreamed of nippin' lake serpents. You’ll hear hints of the Milfoil Queen, whose hand may still reach from lakeweed to shore.

This ain’t your granpappy’s folktale. This is raw backwoods Americana soaked in cedar, iron, and cold fear. If you’ve ever shivered without knowing why—you already know the sound of these echoes.

If your fire crackles twice, and you didn’t poke it…
If your dog growls at the lake after dark…
If you find Samuel Drew’s hat near Bearslide—
