Ghosts of Mount Beacon (Beacon, NY)

A look at Mount Beacon, a mountain named for its role in the Revolutionary War, which once housed a hotel and tourist attractions, and now is a beautiful, ruin-filled place to hike. The town of Beacon lies about an hour and a half from Manhattan by commuter train. The area, which once brimmed with factories, is now a quiet, small town, full of crumbling ruins of its past, spooky cemeteries, and deep woods. This episode focused on Mount Beacon: its history, the reminders it holds of the past, and a experiment to test out a solo version of the Estes method, a popular paranormal investigation technique, on the mountain's peak. Highlights include: • The remains of a mountaintop train, hotel, and casino • Wild speculation about some Estes session results • Some of Beacon's history Note: the Estes session contains some brief expletives.
