Mapa da região conhecida como Hudson Valley
História
Até a chegada dos primeiros colonos europeus, no século XVII, a região era ocupada por nativos-americanos conhecidos como Lenapes. Em 1610, holandeses instalaram um forte na região, visando adquirir peles de castores para revenda no mercado europeu, dando inicio a formação de uma colônia que ficou conhecida como Nova Amsterdam, sendo posteriormente renomeada para Nova Iorque.* INFORMAÇÃO EM INGLÊS ACERCA DAS PRINCIPAIS LENDAS E LUGARES ENCANTADOS DO VALE DO HUDSON:

- This article is written by retired teacher and doctor of history and associate of the Columbia County Society. In this well researched article, Nicholson describes and examines the roots of the Hudson River Valley’s deep tradition of folklore, legend, and prevalence for the paranormal. Why is the region so prone to the fantastic he asks and presents a number of theories, from the rich diverse cultural mixture of the populations to the inspiring landscape in conjunction with the Romantic movements of the late eighteenth to mid nineteenth centuries. Along with the famous Washington Irving legends, lesser known but equally fascinating tales of spirits and supernatural events are discussed including Native American legend. Below is an excerpt from the article about one of the many interesting stories.
- At Spook Rock Road in Greenport New York, “local legend has it that an Indian princess of great beauty ran off with her lover without her father’s blessing. In their flight the two youths paused to rest on a boulder in the creek. By breaking Indian tradition and religious laws they had greatly angered the tribe’s God who upon seeing them at the rock caused a great flood which carried the lovers to their death. The boulder and the spirits of the lovers came to rest along the banks of the stream near Spook Rock Road. The young maiden’s spirit supposedly haunts the spot to this day.”

The inn is also reputed to be haunted by Elizabeth Smalley, the founder’s young daughter. The site is a Mecca for those interested in ghostly pursuits from all over the nation.
