    My late aunt worked nights at St. John's at the time. She & coworkers would hear chanting coming from the woods behind Untermeyers.

    very well done! The historic photos and the painting of Mr. Untermeyer, and the pics of the restored gardens are perfect. Then you take a hard turn into the history of Son Sam! Wow! Great job Bill, and Evan !!!

    What's identified as the carriage house was actually the gate house. Carriage house was at the Broadway entrance and burned down in the '70s. There's a community center building on the site.

    According to the new evidence, he wasn’t the only one who was killing the couples, there were multiple people involved, he was doing the killing for snuff films that were apparently for the cult members and for buyers on the black market.

    I also knew people who hung out with "The Son Of Sam". They said he was a cool guy and was a really good 🎱 player. And yes, there are "The Sons Of Sam". Read "The Ultimate Evil" by Maury Terry.

    Thanks for the interesting history regarding Samuel Untermeyer as well. I travelled the Bronx all the way from Australia back in 2016- I wish I had known a bit more about historical sites back then because I would have certainly visited Untermeyer Gardens and some other areas near the Hudson.

      In Samuel Untermyer's day, the gardens were magnificent. He had 26 greenhouses and about the same number of gardeners to produce seasonal plantings. He would open his gardens up for the public to admire. He won numerous ribbons at garden shows. After his death, the City of Yonkers could not afford the upkeep, so the plants died off or got overrun with weeds.

    I met the midget juggler/jester who would juggle the flaming torches at nighttime referred to in the narrative.... There is an evil demon iin that clown and my dog alerted me to it. He was from the nearby town of Hastings, and he said he was Topcat, a cartoon character at the time but I thought he was more of an alley rat! Didn't John Lennon and Yoko get married there?

      'Twas the Devil's Cave. An inverted pentagram and 2 upside down crosses on either side, and it was approximately half way down the thousand steps on the left near the Eagle's Nest. I was in there back in the '80's before it was demolished. Really interesting!🍀
