Murderers Creek

Murderers Creek is a creek in upstate New York, United States, that flows into the Hudson River in Greene County, New York, just north of the town of Athens. It should not be confused with Moodna Creek, which is in Orange County and is also sometimes called "Murderer's Creek."NameThe first references to the creek call it Mudenaer's Creek or Mudder Creek.In 1813, the body of a young woman named Sally Hamilton was found in the creek about half a mile north of its mouth. Local lore has it that the modern name of the creek originated from this event.However, it is listed on much earlier maps of the region as early as 1758
