“thrown in your change!”
At one of the bridges over Clinton Brook near the reservoir, if you throw change into the water it will be returned by the ghost of a boy who drowned while swimming below or had fallen in while sitting on the edge of the bridge. In some tellings an apparition is seen; in others the ghost pushes the teller into the water if he or she looks over the side of the bridge in order to save him from being run over as he was in life. Besides the ghost boy, there have been other ghosts reported. One person claims to have seen a ghost Camaro driven by a girl who supposedly died when she crashed it in 1988 (any mention while driving the road at night is supposed to trigger a manifestation). Another claims to have encountered two park rangers one night while camping with friends near Terrace Pond, a glacial tarn on a ridge accessible from the road by hiking trails, who in the morning turned out to have been the ghosts of two rangers who had died on the job in 1939.
You throw change in and he comes? Was it a little jewish boy?
Fun "Ghost Busting" day
We went back in March right before they closed Clinton Road to put in a totally new Ghost Boy bridge and other road work. This section is now closed until sometime in May. Fun to see the bridge as it was and great hiking in the area!
