Lewisboro Ghosts

Strange Tales and Scary Sightings

By: Maureen Koehl

On the easternmost edge of Westchester County, among the quiet communities nestled against the Connecticut state line, memories of eerie incidents and haunted happenings flow through the generations like the currents of the nearby Hudson River. The old-timers of South Salem and Waccabuc still recall the legendary Leather Man, an itinerant vagabond who rambled mysteriously through the region in the late 1800s. Over in Goldens Bridge they whisper of the Christmas Soldier, an apparition of a Revolutionary-era Patriot who stalks the Highway 22 corridor. And beneath Long Pond Mountain the locals listen attentively for the Wail of the Wind, the sorrowful moan attributed to two ghostly parents lamenting their sons drowning. Read Maureen Koehls Lewisboro Ghosts to discover the spooky stories and supernatural sightings that linger in this tucked-away corner of the lower Hudson Valley.

Lewisboro

By: Maureen Koehl

The history of a town is found in the faces of its people and the places familiar to them. It is the story of the families that lived, worked, and played together over the years. With Lewisboro, the reader is invited to take a fascinating step back in time to view the history of this Westchester County town as it unfolds. The town is divided into six hamlets that are each proud of their unique heritage: Vista, Lewisboro, South Salem, Waccabuc, Cross River, and Goldens Bridge. Primarily a rural farm community in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the introduction of the New York City Reservoir System and improved highways changed Lewisboro in many ways. Its lakes became lake communities offering affordable vacation homes; its farms became neighborhoods; and the railroad made commuting a way of life. Slowly the town grew.

Ward Pound Ridge Reservation

By: Beth Herr,Maureen Koehl

Ward Pound Ridge Reservations expansive landscapes and long-abandoned cellar holes tell a unique story. Its 4,315 acres, set aside by the Westchester County Parks Commission in 1925, hold within its boundaries a legacy left by the Native Americans and 18th- and 19th-century families who farmed the rolling fields and rocky hillsides. Marks of the 20th century include the remains of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) encampment and the stone walls, trailside shelters, and roads built by these young men. Thousands of trees planted by the CCC stand tall, shading the reservations hiking and riding trails. Sitting amidst the parks streams, cliffs, and hills is the Trailside Nature Museum, which was enhanced by the efforts of local garden club women. Indian rock shelters and a cave used by the Leather Man lend an air of mystery to the beauty and wonders of the parks protected flora and fauna. Almost a century after its quiet beginnings, the reservation still invites visitors to enjoy and learn about the wonders of nature.
