HEADLESS GHOSTS OF INDIANA
COUNTY
(Indiana County)
The are two
different tales. The first involves a spirit that haunts Indiana's roads. He
carries his severed head tucked under one arm and swings a rolling pin with the
other. We guess his kitchen got a bad review. The second one haunted
Route 286 between Indiana and Clymer. He would stand alongside the road and
grab horse's bridles as they rode by. He was an easy spook to deal with,
though. A crack of the driver's whip in his direction, and away he would go. We
haven't heard any recent stories; guess he's too slow to catch any of the cars
speeding past him, or maybe a blast from a passing car horn sent the cowardly
ghost back to the other side. It's in the book That's What Happened by
Frances Strong Helman, a great source of local lore. (The Penn “Tales Of
Paranormal Haunt Indiana,” October 31, 2003)
OLD STATE ROAD MURDER
(Pine Grove Furnace, Cumberland County)
It's said that an
old man was murdered by contractors he hired to fix up his home. They
hung him in the attic, and the rope they used is still supposed to be hanging
there. The house has a piano that plays itself as you walk by the outside of
the home. It's also alleged that the woman that bought the house
afterward was possessed by the ghost of the old man. Old State Road
generally follows Route 34, but we'd sure as heck avoid it if we could.
TAMAQUA TRAIN DEPOT
(Tamaqua, Schuylkill County)
Built in 1873 to replace a
burned out station, the depot served the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad stop up until 1961. After sitting abandoned for two
decades, preservationists have the building up and running. The spooks
enjoy their new company. In 1878, the station was an overnight
warehouse for the bodies of six hung Molly Maguires, including their leader,
Black Jack Kehoe, before they were transported home for burial. They were
packed in ice and stored in the waiting room. It's said they've never
left. There are all kind of poltergeist activities there.
Electrical devices malfunction. Disembodied voices are heard. There
are cold spots, spectral lights, and photographs of orbs. Psychics
and ghost hunters have found spirit activity to be rampant, but haven't put a
finger on just who the spirits belong to yet. But they do have one bit of
chilling evidence. In response to a psychic's questioning, one spectral
voice was caught on tape asking "Can you help
me?"
HAMMOND STREET
(Sheraden, Pittsburgh)
A mother heard sobs coming from her
daughter's bedroom, night after night. But whenever she went to check on her,
she was peacefully asleep. Finally she stayed in the room with her daughter one
evening and saw a beautiful woman dressed in a flowing blue chiffon robe pass
through the bedroom door. Her husband had his doubts about what his wife had seen,
until he witnessed the spirit himself one evening, drifting along the upstairs
hallway. The ghost wasn't a good omen for them. After a series of misfortunes,
they sold the house. Researching the previous house owners, they found out that
a young couple had renovated the house in anticipation of their wedding. Before
the pilot husband could spend his first night at the home, he was killed in a
plane crash while his bride was waiting for him, in her blue chiffon lingerie.
Soon after, she committed suicide in the room the daughter had been sleeping
in. The house still stands, and the daily visits by the Blue Bride to the
bedroom reportedly still continue. (Pittsburgh Tribune Review “For What It's
Worth – A Ghostly Story: The Haunted House On Hammond Street,” October 29,
1995)
