Queen Esther’s Rock/Bloody Rock
Located along Susquehanna Avenue near
Seventh Street in Wyoming is one of the most interesting artifacts
of the Battle of Wyoming – Queen Esther’s Rock. Named for Queen
Esther Montour, the descendant of several "mixed" marriages between
white settlers and Indians, this large rock marks the spot where,
allegedly, following the Battle of Wyoming, Queen Esther, angered
by the recent death of her son, lined 16 American colonists around
a huge stone, ever since known as Bloody Rock, and personally
smashed their skulls with her tomahawk. 
We did some EVP work and
turned up nothing here.The rock itself is covered with a large
metal grate,the reason for this was to protect it from all the
people who were chipping away at the
stone.
