The Bear Mountain Caves

This is the last page of Samor's notes that were in his files, though I believe it to be the first page of a notebook I do not have here because the paper style and textures are unique and different from his other notebooks. Perhaps he took it with him and accidentally left this page behind.   I plan on using the universities high definition scanner to upload a better quality image soon.


 

On this page his progressively deteriorating mental condition can be clearly seen, as well as the mention of the "Bear Mountain Caves". If I recall there is a Bear Mountain near Nyack, where he claimed to have discovered a series of stone stairways that were vaguely connected to his theory. I remember him telling me excitedly about the discovery of the cave when he returned from his trip, but when I asked him about it some weeks later he told me it had been a hoax of some sort. The notes, however, are dated after our conversation and make no reference to a hoax.
