COMMENTS:
Near Wawarsing.UPDATE: I visited Potterville
New York in June of 2001 by mountain bike by going up Lundy’s Road off of
209 in Napanoch. The road get rougher as you approach the town, and the
bridge going to town in such bad shape, you can only get to the town by
foot. You need to step around the holes in the bridge to avoid falling into
the stream below. There is another dirt road leading from the town going
to Upper Cherrytown Road. The big mystery to me is how late 1980’s Pontiac
Grand Am wound up in the garage. The bridge and the dirt road to the town
have been nearly impassable for decades. I took some pictures of this town.
You can link to my site, or post the pictures on your site if you give me
credit. Pictures can be found at http://www.markviii.org/ Alex/Potterville/FrameSet.htm . REMAINS: On private property, no trespassing- some original buildings. |
| In the begining of the century a local towns man committed the murder of one of the towns residents. He was caught and hung. Soon after people in the town started dying for no apparent reason. The town was bought by an unknown group, and closed from the public. In 1998 Potterville was repossesed by the state because of back taxes. But the town is still claimed to be haunted. Visit at night at your own risk! Submitted by: Kimberly Elder Potterville,ny |
