The Hessian Ghoul After the French-Indian War, a former Hessian soldier stabbed a church elder to death in front of an entire congregation. It was only after his crime that he exacted his true revenge on the town. His spirit has been seen, by young and old alike, roaming the area of the park along the Juniata River.

The Lady in the Accident A few years ago on a rainy night, a lady dashed into a local house to report an auto wreck. Little did the homeowners know that the accident that had taken a young woman’s life just outside had actually occurred decades before.
