Description: Pulpit Rock, Lake Placid - Adirondack Mountains - NEW YORK: Amid millionaire “camps” and scenic views of the High Peak, a small section of cliffs and ledges somehow manages to stand out along the shores of Lake Placid. Known as Pulpit Rock, these rock faces rise out of the east side of the lake and descend down into it for hundreds of feet. stories about Pulpit Rock that involved a perfectly preserved body… and a ghost! The part about the body is true at least. In 1963, divers found the body of Mabel Smith Douglass, missing for 30 years, in 100 feet of water below the cliffs. The lake’s waters had preserved her body in a near perfect state – as if she had died the day before. This gruesome discovery helped solve the mystery of where Mabel Smith Douglass was, but it never quite answered the question of how she got there. Some believe it was likely a suicide, others believe foul play was at hand. Either way, stories of boaters witnessing her ghostly apparition near Pulpit Rock have persisted. A book exploring this story was written by George Christian Ortloff, and published by one of our favorite Lake Placid stores, With Pipe and Book, in 1994. It is titled: A Lady in the Lake: The True Account of Death and Discovery in Lake Placid. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition, although there is some soiling. H. D. Tucker. Lake Placid, NY No. 804.
