It was haunted, by the Colonel. It was said that there was an old chair that was stored in the attic that somehow always made it’s way back to room 255 (I think that’s the number) Nobody ever remembered moving it out of the attic but it always somehow made it back down to that room every year. This was according to Jerry O’Shea and Bob the hotel manager at this time. The Shining, when you read that book, have a look at this place and see if it doesn’t fit…all the way down to the bar off to the side and the elevator all the way to the back of the lobby…It was very spooky indeed…

Back in the 60’s this Hunter hotel was known as the O’Shea House and it was owned by Irish immigrants. Sometime later it changed hands and it was named Ski Bowl Lodge.

Pollepel Island^[1] is an island in the Hudson River. Also known as Pollopel Island,Pollopel’s Island, and Bannerman Island, it is the site of Bannerman’s Castle^[2][3]Pollepel Island is about 50 miles (80 km) north of New York City.

The principal feature on the island is Bannerman’s Castle, an abandoned military surpluswarehouse.^[2] It was built in the style of a castle by gilded age businessman Francis Bannerman VI (1851–1918).^[3] Pollepel Island is sometimes referred to as Bannerman’s Island.^[5] One side of the castle carries the words “Bannerman’s Island Arsenal”.^[2][3]The island has an interesting history, being strategically important during the American War of Independence and purchased by Francis Bannerman VI. However, after his death in 1918, the island experienced a series of disasters. Lightning was known to strike the flagpoles. Then, two hundred pounds of powder and shells exploded, destroying half the building. Later, a massive storm on the Hudson caused a freighter and passenger barge, the Pollepel, to explode and crash into the island (hence the name Pollepel Island). The name is from the Dutch wordpollepel, meaning “ladle”. According to Native American lore the island was inhabited by unfriendly spirits. Later the Dutch referred to the spirit as the Heer of Dunderberg, a fiend (and his goblins) who inhabits the Highlands and doesn’t like visitors.
