The Vanishing of Jonathan Reed: A Chateaugay Lake Mystery of Crime, Ghosts, and Time Rift Legends





East Bellmont, March 13, 1912 — Out here in the Adirondacks, folks swap stories like fishhooks—sharp, barbed, and mean to stick. But this one? This one’s got teeth big enough to take your shadow clean off. 🦷🌊

Jonathan Reed vanished from Chateaugay Lake in the summer of 1837, leaving behind a frantic journal filled with talk of ghost lights under black water 💡🌌, whispering shadows 🌬️👤, and a “dark something” older than the pines. Since then: strange vanishings, lights flickerin’ across the Narrows, and sightings of the impossible roadster BOHAT 1P 🚗✨—a machine out of no known year—patrolling the shoreline.

Some say it’s methane gas. Others whisper about a Temporal Rift 🕰️⚡. The Abenaki have a word for it that chills the bone: a hunger older than time.
