The JP Morgan Great Camp!
Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleJohn Pierpont "JP" Morgan was bigger than Warren Buffett and Steve Jobs combined, the financial genius of the late 1800s and early 1900s creating General Electric and U.S. Steel. He was the nation's banker providing loans in both 1895 and 1907 to keep the government afloat. Morgan was a huge man who suffered from several facial issues that left him with a grotesque purple nose such that children and even some adults were afraid to look at him. He was scheduled to sail on the ill-fated Titanic but canceled at the last minute.
While no one has claims to have seen JP Morgan's ghost, there are several disturbing incidents surrounding the family. Morgan's former Long Island mansion is said to be haunted by his daughter who is sometimes seen walking the corridors in a long black dress. The late comedian Joan Rivers claimed that her New York home was haunted by Morgan's niece who would visit her every night at 3 a.m.
If there is a JP Morgan ghost, he would probably be found at his vacation compound, Great Camp Uncas, on secluded Mohegan Lake in Upstate New York. Built in 1895 by William West Durant, the camp was in the hands of the Morgan family for half a century. It is one of the country's best examples of rustic vacation-camp compounds built in the late 1800s for America's wealthiest families. The kind of landscape usually seen in horror movies with soaring tree shadows, never-ending walking trails, stark cabins and quiet nights except for the hooting owls and the occasional chop of an ax murderer.
This linchpin of what Durant called "America’s most beautiful trio" is the main house at Great Camp Uncas. Selling fully furnished and decorated, perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors, the main lodge and guest cabins on 4.6 acres with 1,700 feet of lake shoreline, surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of state-owned forest preserve, are for sale at an asking price of $2.95 million.
