Of a child born beneath W Mountain’s ever-gazing eye—and the silence that answered.First told back in 1911 by Indian Point House’s own Uncle Dick Shutts, this tale speaks of a cabin that heard more than prayers and a woods that never gave up its seat. You’ll meet Squire Miles, the Bible-thumpin' justice of the peace, who dreamed of nippin' lake serpents. You’ll hear hints of the Milfoil Queen, whose hand may still reach from lakeweed to shore.This ain’t your granpappy’s folktale. This is raw backwoods Americana soaked in cedar, iron, and cold fear.
