The History and Legends of Lake Ronkonkoma, the Princess Curse and
Other Stories; A Lifeguard's View, discusses the history and the
folklore of Long Island's largest lake. It builds a strong case for
the Princess legend. The author consulted professional opinions, of
paranormal experts, who generally believe curses are real, not
superstition. He also consulted many sources on Lake Ronkonkoma, to
focus in on the fact that a young male has drowned almost every
year, and that few females have died in the Lake. In fact it
remains, that possibly only one female lost her life. Her official
cause of death was kidney failure, caused by secondary drowning.
The volume also chronicles the lifeguard career of the author,
David S. Igneri. His lifeguards at the lake and his other beaches
were, in general gifted athletes. However, to lifeguard Lake
Ronkonkoma they needed specific training that was not covered in
their regular lifeguard preparation. At first, Igneri himself, did
not totally understand the task before him. However, he sought
advice from older lifeguards, and read everything he could about
Ronkonkoma, and formulated a program. In his early years he did not
believe in the Princess Curse at all, and believed it was only
superstition. His experiences during that time, made him re-think
his views. Gradually he realized that some force or entity was
causing, or helped causing the many deaths. David Igneri began to
change his policies at Lake Ronkonkoma on July 5, 1965. He totally
believes that the spirits told him what to do. His goal became to
protect and save all of the people, all of the time, and stop the
legend. After reading this volume, you will have to decide for
yourself, how much success he had in this endeavor.
