Ames Road
During the revolutionary war, after Gen. Washington met with the French General at the War College in Lebanon, the two armies set out marching to the battlefields of New York and New Jersey. They camped overnight in what is now Amston. The area is a hillcrest at the end of Ames Rd., on the left. Stone fire circles are in evidence, left by the troopers, as are occasional artifacts found by hikers. However, while they were encamped in Amston, above the lake, a strange malady overcame the troops, and over thirty were known to have died. At the time, old Indian curses were blamed, and the dead were buried on site. Over the years, luminescent orbs, moans, and ghostly shadowy figures have been seen about the hill. Hikers in the area have related the feeling of being followed, and dogs with them run scared and cower for no apparent reason.
As we proceeded into the woods, all members reported hearing "voices", however none of us could actually make out any words. Everyone agreed that there was an erie feeling. While standing in the woods we were surrounded by a loud high pitched screaching sound, it is still unknown of what it could have been. We took many pictures and also set a voice recorder down to gather any information that we could. Below is what we came accross. Hopefully we will have a chance to return and see what else we can find out.
