I should have realized that others on the list would be interested. Mark Dionne Newton, MA Hi Rita, I find Snyders Lake in the town of Wyantskill. I also find that it is supposedly haunted. This is very interesting. My first cousin twice removed, Frank Sheridan, drowned in Snyders Lake in 1911. Mark Dionne Newton, MA This will get you a map (if it makes it intact through email!): http://www.mapblast.com/myblast/map.mb?CMD=LFILL&CT=42.661458%3A-73.634334&myzoom.x=116&myzoom.y=13 There are several references on the net to the following text, though none cite the original source: http://www.theshadowlands.net/places/newyork.htm East Greenbush - Snyders Lake - The NightWatchman: Brutally murdered as a young man. He was never able to see his attacker so he now takes his anger out on the children that go to the camp on the lake. Numerous news articles are available from the times union on the abductions. The Caretaker: Died 2 years ago. Roams the area and checks the bathrooms for good conditions occasionally. Webbed: Boy with webbed fingers was an excellent swimmer till he drowned at the camp trying to save a boy. The other boy lived but webbed got stuck under the dock and drowned. Now when children are drowning and drifting further into the lake he pushes them into shore. That URL also lists some other interesting "haunted" sites in the Troy/Albany area.
