Montebello

Montebello is named after Thomas Fortune Ryan's summer estate, Italian for "beautiful mountain." His mansion had 44 rooms and two bowling alleys. About 4,500 people live in the village today. Spook Rock Road takes its name from a boulder the Dutch settlers called "spook," Dutch for ghost.

Spook Rock Road: named after a ghost

40 sec · Rockland Secrets

There's a road in Rockland named after a ghost. 👻 Spook Rock Road.

The Dutch settlers called a giant boulder here "spook," Dutch for ghost.

Legend has it a girl was killed at that rock, and her spirit never left.

Others say two forbidden lovers died right beside it. Nobody knows the truth.

Today? Some of the nicest homes in the county are on this road, like 131 Spook Rock. 🏡
