Tempest Mountain: A fictitious mountain set in the Catskill Mountains of New York state created by Lovecraft for his serialized short story "The Lurking Fear." It has a reputation in the local area for being haunted and is characterized by terrible storms and lightning strikes, fulgurites, and oddly-shaped mounds in the woods clinging to its slopes. Its peak is occupied by the ruins of the Martense family mansion, the remains of Dutch gardens, groves of misshapen trees, and the burying ground for the family.
