from Winds of W Mountain · host Johqu Bogart
On a bewitching June eve of 1890, Upper Chateaugay Lake transformed into a stage for spectral mischief and delightful absurdity. As the full moon traced silver paths upon the water, curious witnesses—daring summer boarders and seasoned locals alike—spied a diminutive, impish phantom cavorting amid the reeds.

In our latest Winds on W Mountain episode, we unravel this enigmatic tale, blending high humor with chilling folklore. Advisory: Secure your rum, fasten your rowboat, and mind your double bass—lest you too be charmed by its otherworldly allure. Venture forth with care; mischief eagerly awaits the unwary listener.
