I m a huge fan of folklore and tales and there are hundreds of them when it comes to the Hudson Valley.
The other day I took a long at Long Dock Park in Beacon and got a beautiful glimpse of Bannerman s Island. I stood there for a while and just thought about the stories those walls could tell.
Of course, you can go on a real historical tour of the island, but I was more interested in the folktales that have been passed down from generation to generation.
So I did a little bit of research.
For instance, Native Americans believed Bannerman s Island to be haunted. According to the site, Native American s didn t want to be in close proximity to the island, because they believed it was possessed by evil spirits.
