Lincoln Park Gully is believed to be haunted by the ghosts of Dutch soldiers and Mahican warriors who planned to attach the Mohawks, but were ambushed by the Mohawks instead. One grisly tale about the battle relates that a Dutch soldier was burned alive, and his leg and arm were kept by the Mohawks as a sort of trophy. Witnesses say to this day the victims’ ghostly figures glide through the area in broad daylight, and some witnesses reported a spooky feeling of being watched.
