Sightings of a weird looking hooded woman at Lovers leap

Woman sighted walking from an old ruin at Lovers Leap State Park on April Friday 13 2018

I was walking up to Lovers leap cliff at 6:30am this morning to see the sun rise which is nice at that time of day, and I saw a woman with a hood on. I said hello to her and the only response from the woman was some language I never heard of before. Sounded like some Indian language. I continued to photograph the area not knowing the history of the place. I heard the woman say something like the lake name. I thing she said the name of the lake pointing to herself as Lillinonah. I hear that name was the lake's name but haven't seen any clue as to the history of this place. I ask her if she knew where the road down the other side of the ruins lead, she continued up to a ruins of an old building I had no idea about until today. She pointed before walking up their like she wanted me to see something, so I followed her lead. Next thing I know she had gone behind what looked to be an old castle like ruin of an old tower so I waited in the front. I thought she was getting something to show me. I waited and walked around for her return for 15 minutes. I finally went behind the ruins and saw that the woman had left her thing that she had on her head inside of the ruin along with a torn dress piece. So I called out "hey mam are you OK you left your head dress or whatever this is here". I heard and saw no one around to be seen. So I put the pieces of clothing back down thinking she would come back for it. A few seconds later I was walking down from the old ruins and heard a weird sounding odd sound like a boom sound near the ruins. I walked back to see that some of what looked to be remains of an old chimney had fallen and the concrete piece that was seen on top was now stuck in the ground 2 feet with the sharp part right were I was standing before the woman had run off or whatever happened to her. I was a little bit skeptical about this and thought someone was playing a joke. I saw no one up their but me and a bear that I saw running from the back pathway near the cliff on the bottom of the ruins path. The bear was scared along with several deer that ran from something up near the ruins after I had walked down the path. I felt a very chilly wary cold wind coming from the ground where I was standing and some fog like mist rose from the ground. I thought that was normal for the area so I went back down the path and saw some odd things near the bridge area written as I went to the main road. On some trees I notices some stars were on the trees written with what appeared to be written in marker. they looked like witchcraft symbols like someone had put them their lined up going down the path to the road. I then continued on with walking like nothing was bothering me but I had a weird feeling deep in me that something was a miss. The woman that apparently walked off never to be seen by me and the concrete piece falling to the ground heavy enough to stick through the ground made me think to myself "well this kind of thing probably happen's all of the time because the building remains are old and someone was probably playing a joke on me". So I went home giving it not a thought in the world and continued with my daily routine.
