Blithewood Mansion
New York · United States · School
A girl of eight to twelve is described in the house and in the gardens. She is understood to be the daughter of Captain Andrew Zabriskie.
Blithewood Mansion at Bard College in Annandale on Hudson, New York has been reported by students and faculty for a long time.
What is described is noise and objects moving inside the house, and a young girl, somewhere between eight and twelve, both in the mansion and in the gardens around it.
She is understood to be the daughter of Captain Andrew C Zabriskie, whose family owned the estate before it came to the college.
The gardens are the part worth knowing. Blithewood's formal walled garden, laid out in 1903, sits on a bluff above the Hudson and is one of the most photographed places in the valley, which means she is described in a setting that thousands of people visit deliberately.
A campus building generates reports at a rate no private house can match, since it is occupied by a rotating population of students who have every reason to enjoy the story.
The house is used by the college and the garden is open to the public.
