A Squirrely Start to Autumn

Community support helps Porcupines win contest BY NATALIE GENTRY It’s official, Springtown High School has beaten 45 other high schools to take first place in the 2015 Brookshire’s ExtraPoint contest White division. POJO fans rallied this year and SHS led the way from week one until the final day Oct. 27. The achievement can and should be seen as a testament to the coordination and dedication of the entire community with Springtown Brookshire’s store director, Mark Baumann leading the charge. Signs were displayed throughout Springtown including the Chamber of Commerce, local businesses, and many SHS events like football and volleyball games. Weekly updates and encouragements were posted at registers in Brookshire’s. This year’s competition was split into divisions – Red, White and Blue – according to enrollment size to allow schools of similar size to compete against each other and provide better odds of winning. Last year all schools competed in one weighted race which gave schools with smaller enrollment numbers a distinct advantage. “We are the reason the rules were changed,” Baumann said. “SHS had the most participation last year, by far, with over 22,000 texts sent in.” During the last few weeks of this year’s contest, the top five high schools solidified their places in the running. And although second place, Parkers Chapel High School, began to close the gap during recent weeks, SHS managed to keep the lead by over 1,600 texts. So, 1,600 equals $10,000.

The history of the ‘hanging tree’ Simple museum artifact belies a sordid tale from Springtown’s violent past BY NATALIE GENTRY Artifacts in the Legends Museum represent the multifaceted history of Springtown. Many objects reflect the compassion and camaraderie of this close-knit town. Other pieces have a different story to tell. A lawless time... The Texas frontier was often a refuge for people with questionable character or intentions. One such notable Springtown character was Nancy Hill, a notorious horse thief of the 1860s. The daughter of a murdered “Yankee sympathizer,” Nancy (often called Nance) was one of eight children of Allen and Dusky Hill. Hill and her gang committed crimes throughout Denton, Cooke, Wise, Parker, and Montague counties, but she was headquartered in Springtown where her family lived.

Brookshire’s sale rumored

Vigilante justice In August of 1873, Hill was pursued by a group of vigilantes and caught in Montague County, where they hanged her for her crimes. Hill is the only woman known to be hanged in that county.

But the violence didn’t stop there. A few days after Hill’s death, a mob accosted her sisters Katherine and Martha and strung them up from the now notorious hanging tree about three miles south of Springtown. Then, about a day after that, the vigilantes burned down the Hill farm and captured, shot, and killed Nancy’s mother Dusky and sisters Adeline and Eliza. The eldest Hill child, Jack, had been killed months before Nancy’s hanging, so the only Hills left after the violence were Isabelle, 12, and Allen Jr., 11. It is thought that the children were spared because the mob felt they were too young to be complicit in the gang’s activity. The youngsters were taken in by the Tackett family of Springtown and later by the Parker County Sheriff, Wes Hedrick. After most of the family was wiped out, many Springtown citizens refused to bury the bodies for fear of retaliation by the vigilantes, but former Texas Rangers Al Thompson and Dock Maupin defied the mob and finally buried the bodies. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Corporate offices: ‘No comment’ BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Springtown’s only grocery store might be for sale. A report from Reuters news agency that Brookshire Grocery Company is exploring a sale has created a media frenzy. The story, which broke Oct. 14, said a sale of the grocery chain – which includes the popular Brookshire’s Food & Pharmacy stores in Azle, Springtown, and Lake Worth – could be worth as much as $1 billion including debt. The Reuters account says Brookshire is working with investment bank JPMorgan Chase & Co on an auction that has attracted larger peers, including Albertsons Companies. Brookshire officials have so far declined to comment or to confirm or deny the points outlined in the Reuters story. Quoting an anonymous source, the NBC affiliate in Tyler, where Brookshire is headquartered, said the company is exploring a sale to H.E. Butt Grocery Company, also known as HE-B. Tyler radio station KNUE, though,

ran a story Oct. 15 naming Albertsons as the most likely buyer, saying it is the only company mentioned in the Reuters story and citing its recent acquisitions of Safeway and Tom Thumb. Albertsons is currently preparing its initial public offering in advance of going public. Kroger, the second-largest general retailer in America behind Walmart, and the fifth-largest in the world, was the third possibility noted in the KNUE story. Local Brookshire’s store managers directed media inquiries to the corporate office in Tyler where a spokesperson had no comment. Brookshire Grocery Company was founded in 1928 by Wood T. and Louise Brookshire, when they opened their first 25 x 100-foot store on Tyler’s downtown square. These days, Brookshire employs more than 13,700 people at more than 150 locations in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Brookshire also operates three distribution facilities and a fleet of 72 The fiendish rainy weather during the Springtown-Alvarado football game brought out the best in this creature.

Power players BY NATALIE GENTRY The Springtown Independent School District (SISD) school board received its initial report concerning the District’s energy conservation program at the Oct. 26 board meeting. District Energy Conservation Liaison Shane Strickland presented the cost savings analysis gathered in conjunction with Cenergistic, an energy conservation company, from the first six months of the program – February-August of 2015. The goals of the program are simple: maintain a comfortable learning environment, eliminate energy waste through behavior change and save dollars, and create a “culture of conservation” ensuring sustainable savings.

SISD data shows big energy savings early

SISD has saved a total of $76,172 in the first six months of its energy conservation program. board of education adopted a comprehensive set of districtwide guidelines. This enabled Kesler to communicate about the energy conservation program with all staff to create a “culture of conservation.” Kesler and Strickland were able to perform nearly 572 building audits, checking on conservation efforts. They also audited the EMS system, then set points and made recommendations. Throughout the evaluation period, Strickland and Kesler worked with maintenance staff

to identify and repair equipment to improve energy conservation on all campuses. In addition, they created and maintained an EnergyCAP database that includes more 4,165 entries to date. Environmental benefits Since the implementation of these energy conservation guidelines, SISD has saved: • 566,154 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity • 9,354 cubic feet (CCF) of natural gas • 405 gallons of propane

Monetary savings Strickland’s presentation to the board illustrated that the program is working. Comparisons of the money spent on electricity show that although the unit cost has increased by 5.32 percent, SISD has decreased its kWh usage and saved a total of $62,102 when compared to the baseline numbers. Likewise, although the unit cost for water and sewer has risen .84 percent during the last six months, the District managed to save $4,059 by decreasing usage by 247 kilo-gallons. The data for natural gas usage shows a $6,358 savings and propane usage shows a $3,654 savings. All in all, the total savings SISD has managed through the energy conservation programs comes to $76,172. That equates to a 16.5 percent decrease in spending on energy.

CLARIFICATION Last week’s story on the new courthouse deputy in Springtown needs clarification. The press release received from the Parker County Sheriff's Office said all county sex offenders would report and register with the new deputy, Mike DeWitt. That is not correct, Pct. 1 Commissioner George Conley said. Only registrants from Springtown and those in the nearby area must report to DeWitt. All others registered in the county will continue to see their usual contacts, Conley said.

Economic development survey says: Residents want more entertainment options BY NATALIE GENTRY The Springtown city council heard some initial data found by the city’s economic development firm.

Old Plantation teams up with local food pantries to feed area hungry

David Robert Cox 1943-2015

David Robert Cox, 72, of Reno Texas, died of heart disease the morning of Oct. 20, 2015. His beloved wife was by his side. Funeral services are private. The family has requested that in lieu of fl owers donations be made to David’s favorite charity The Wounded Warrior Project. David was born Aug. 7, 1943 in Didsbury, Manchester UK to the late Molly and Douglas

Cox. He held degrees in astrophysics, mechanical engineering and English literature. A Piccadilly radio talk show host, research & development engineer, he was also a champion cyclist and angler in the UK and Europe. He became an avid fl y fi sherman on the lakes around Fort Worth. David loved to talk to people. He didn’t just talk at them, he listened, he counseled, and he loved them. After his death, his Facebook page fi lled with friends leaving a last message, many said he was a father figure to them. Survivors include his wife, Priscilla Whitehead Cox, of Reno; daughter, Jennifer Tossing, her spouse Dan Tossing and their two daughters Emma & Olivia, of Dallas; daughter, Amanda Ownsworth and her son Alex Garde of Hyde, Cheshire UK and nephew Andrew Ratcliffe of Gatley, Cheshire UK.

BY NATALIE GENTRY As the holidays draw near, many Springtown area residents turn their attention to those who may need a little help. Roger and Joe Perez at Old Plantation Meats try to do their part, and as deer season approaches they are partnering up with Hunters for the Hungry in order to provide some much needed meat for local food banks. Hunters for the Hungry is a program of the Texas Food Bank Network that allows hunters to bring legally tagged,

field-dressed deer to a participating meat processor in order to donate the meat to those in need. T h e s e hunters pay a greatlyreduced processing fee – about $35 at Old Plantation Meats – and even then, this fee may be tax-deductible.

After that, the staff at Old Plantation Meats will prepare the meat and provide it to participating local food pantries. In Springtown, recipients include Neighbor to Neighbors Food Pantry and Outreach of

Love Church. This year marks the eleventh that Old Plantation Meats has participated in the program, and they hope to be able to continue donating between 200300 pounds of meat. The program runs throughout the entire hunting season – from November through January – and only accepts deer. This could be the perfect way to ensure that all the deer meat harvested this season gets eaten and that people in Springtown don’t go hungry over the holidays.

That’s why QBs get the big bucks

he Cowboys lost again with another quarterback. I miss you, Tony Romo. It’s tough being the quarterback. Everybody loves you when the team wins – except the haters who say the team won “in spite” of you. With a loss, you get more than the lion’s share of the blame. In fact, the only player whose wonloss record is mentioned is the quarterback. Can you imagine: “Billy Joe Bigboy is 2-4 at right offensive guard this season.” In 2013, Sports Illustrated reported the NFL’s average salaries by position. Lowest were tight ends at $1.4 million. Highest were quarterbacks at $3.8 million. I have a theory why the QB gets the big bucks – and it’s not because his execution on any given play is more important than anyone else’s.

Lone Star supremacy, Part 1: The Indian warrior

n his book, The Texas Rangers, Walter Prescott Webb examined the inhabitants of Texas. “By the opening of the [Texas] Revolution the three races that were to struggle for supremacy were all present in Texas. The Indians held undisputed possession of the Plains; the Mexicans held the southwest with their line of occupation resting on the Rio Grande; and the Anglo-American, henceforth called Texans, had virtual possession of the timbered portion of the then Mexican province. “Since the three races were to wage constant war one with another, it was necessary for each to produce its representative fighting man. The Comanche had his warrior brave and the Mexican his caballero, ranchero, or vaquero. To meet these the Texans created the Ranger, who, since he was the latest comer, found it necessary to adapt his weapons, tactics, and strategy to the conditions imposed by his enemies. “In spite of the fact that each of these fighters influenced the others, each remained the true representative

Had the Indian and not the white man written history, he would have filled it with true stories of the hazardous feats of warriors in carrying their slain or wounded comrades off the field of battle. It was a part of the Indian’s religion to save his comrades from the enemy and give him a

decent burial with his scalp where nature placed it. “The Indian’s education – by which is meant preparation for life – was not found in books, but in nature and in tradition which was for him nature’s lore. The movement of wild animals, the flight of birds, the bent twig, and the tracks by the water holes told the Indian stories that the white man has all but forgotten. All the red man’s education was based on primary sources. “War was the end and aim of the Indian’s life. His arms were there fore of major importance to him.

It is not the purpose here, or anywhere in this volume, to praise the Indian or to condemn him, but rather to understand him and to see his way of life as he saw it. “His home was the wild prairie and the broad high plain where roamed millions of buffalo and countless droves of deer, and smaller game. He loved these things with devotion and fought for them with all his ferocious cunning. His tactics in war were in thorough keeping with his primitive nature. He knew nothing of the white man’s code of war, of his so-called humanity. “He could not take prisoners for the simple reason that he had no prison to hold them and no food to sustain them.

When the cultural anthropologist tells us that the horse did not introduce new culture traits among the Plains Indians but rather emphasized and accentuated those already present, he gives us a glimpse of the meaning of the horse to these people, tells us that they were ready and waiting for the horse to come. The horse made the Plains Indians more nomadic, less inclined to agriculture, greater raiders, better hunters, and more dangerous warriors than they had ever been. “The horse enlarged the tipi but did not change its material, shape, or structure, increased the quantity of wealth without affecting the variety, and enabled the chief to take more wives because he could provide more food and clothing for them.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

State: Funding to Planned Parenthood will be cut

he state Health and Human Services Commission notified Planned Parenthood affiliates in Texas on Oct. 19 that state funding they have been receiving through the Medicaid program would be cut. The letter from the HHSC’s inspector general’s office said the termination of all Planned Parenthood affiliates would not affect access to care “because there are thousands of alternate providers in Texas including federally qualified health centers, Medicaid-certified rural health clinics and other health care providers across the state that participate in the Texas Women’s Health Program and Medicaid.” According to the governor’s office, the action is based on evidence of Medicaid program violations. Citing widely publicized videos reportedly exposing the harvesting and sale

of fetal body parts by abortion providers, Gov. Greg Abbott said, “Texas has stepped forward and shown its unyielding commitment to both protecting life and providing women’s health services.” Abbott said the action is consistent with his LIFE initiative that calls for changing laws to stiffen penalties against abortion providers, improve availability of adoption services, eliminate funding to abortion providers and eliminate and criminalize any sale or transaction involving fetal tissue by an abortion clinic. On Oct. 22, HHSC’s inspector general agents, acting on subpoenas, seized records at Planned Parenthood-affiliated clinics in Dallas and other cities. Planned Parenthood national headquarters posted the following statement on social media: “We will not be bullied by Texas extremists (and) we won’t stop fighting.

Under state law, each school district is required to adopt a multi-hazard emergency operations plan. “Every student in Texas should be confident that they are being provided an education in a safe environment,” Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams said Oct. 19.

“Safe Schools Week is an annual reminder to everyone in education of our need to plan and prepare for whatever potential situation might arise on school campuses,” he added. Board gets new chief Gov. Abbott on Oct. 21 appointed Bobby Jenkins of Austin as chair of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Jenkins replaces Harold Hahn of El Paso as chair. Jenkins, president of ABC Home and Commercial Services, has served as vice chairman of the coordinating board since September 2013. The agency’s mission is “to promote access, affordability, quality, success, and cost efficiency in the state’s institutions of higher education.” Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

SPORTS

VB ladies second in district, playoffs begin BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The final volleyball match of the 2015 season came down to a shot at the district title for Springtown (20-14, 6-2). The Lady Porcupines visited Decatur Oct. 29 in the regular season finale. The state ranked Eagles won the contest and SHS finished second in 5-4A. The loss did not damper what was a “great season” for the Lady Porcupines, Coach Leighann Strickland said. To get to the district-deciding clash, Springtown swept Lake Worth 24-8, 25-15, 25-17. “We had a great night,” Strickland said. “Our seniors played a great game for them to have their last game on.” Ashton Weaver smashed down 17 kills and blocked 1.5 more.

Bi-District! Springtown vs. Midlothian Heritage Monday, Nov. 2 6 p.m. Benbrook MS-HS 201 Overcrest Drive Gabby Terry also had 1.5 blocks and 5 kills. Mackensie Martin baffled the Lady Frogs from the service line; she swatted 8 aces. Karrah Cooper added 3. At Decatur, it was Sydney Farris who led SHS with 3 aces. Weaver had another strong night at the net at Decatur, this

time killing 11 balls. Kaitlyn Hill’s 9 digs paced the team and Khloe Smith killed 7 balls. Looking back over the season, Strickland said, “These seniors have been great athletes and a blessing to this program.” Junior varsity – The future is bright for the Lady Porcupine varsity squad. The JV (18-7, 8-0) swept Deactur to lock up the district championship. After beating Lake Worth 258, 25-10 then the Lady Eagles 25-13, 25-18, the title was secure. In the Lake Worth match, Springtown delivered 20 kills with Jazz Mannin and Raynee Henderson getting 6 each. Defense helped beat Decatur, Coach Hannah Adams noted. Gabby Terry and her Lady Porcupine teammates are off to Benbrook for the first round of the playoffs against Midlothian Heritage. Photo by Mark K. Campbell SHS dug out 41 balls.

Rally falls just short, Alvarado tops Springtown in rain, 42-36 BY MARK K. CAMPBELL A crazy night ended up making for a crazy football game, eventually won by Alvarado 42-36. Springtown (3-5, 1-2) hosted the Indians in a key 5-4A contest. Bad weather was everywhere and the game began in a rainstorm. That didn’t stop QB Kaleb Chesney from throwing a TD pass to Mateo Herrera; the 50 yarder gave SHS an early 6-0 lead. Then lightning delayed the game despite an early 6 p.m. start. When the teams finally reRepresenting Springtown at the Region I cross country meet in Lubbock were Meleah Pineda (left) and Juan turned to the gridiron, the IndiMartinez. Pineda finished 59th out of 166 runners over ans ran wild. the two-mile course; her time was 13 minutes, 27 seconds. Martinez took 46th out of 173 racers over three miles with a personal best of 17:15.

Early into the second half, Alvarado led comfortably 34-6 – or so they thought. Suddenly the Porcupines sprang to life and poured 21 points across the scoreboard. When the fourth quarter began, SHS trailed just 34-27. Chesney hit Herrera twice and Brandon Santos for TD aerials in the frame. Then came a safety and Springtown was behind just 5 points. Faithful fans were seeing a remarkable game as SHS tallied 22 straight points. A long Indian run took the wind out of the comeback; a 51-yard TD rush and 2-point conversion put Alvarado ahead

Rayfield wins football contest There were two for-sure winners in the weekly football contest. The final $5 required the tiebreaker of Oklahoma 63, Texas Tech 27 (90). With just one miss, Paul Rayfield won the $20 first place check; he was the only person to be off on just one pick.

Second place went to Wade Daniels who missed only two games and won $10. Two entrants missed three games. The tie-breaker made a $5 winner out of Wes Robinson who guessed the total score would be 80.

Helping Springtown catch up were quarterback Kaleb Chesney (4) who threw for five TDs and Quinton Allen (30) who led SHS in rushing. Photo courtesy Tyler Plato Photography

Movie Man

Thursday, October 29, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Oh, it’s definitely the Last Witch Hunter all right While the Movie Man often references box office results because it’s a blatant indicator of a movie’s acceptance, a film can be good – even great – and draw far fewer viewers than a crappy one that’s popular. Looking at the pure numbers can be misleading; however, last week’s box office was like no other before – and The Last Witch Hunter was part of it. About the film All new releases/expanded releases last week tanked big time. That allowed The Martian (Movie Man No.1159, 8) to return to the No. 1 spot after dropping out for a week. That’s a relatively rare occurrence, but it happens – just like a Top 40 song might dip for a week then return to No. 1. But the big news was the failure of a quintet of movies: Steve Jobs, Rock the Kasbah, Jem and the Holograms, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, and Witch Hunter. Steve Jobs had been performing well in a limited release, but it cratered as it went into more theaters and will soon be gone. Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension was part of a unique experiment; it’s the first movie in an agreement between a studio and theaters – when PA:TGD drops below 300 auditoriums, it will go to VOD (video on demand) yet theater owners will still get a cut of the profit. Last week, the movie performed more poorly than any other in the series history by far, so that means it will show up on home screens much earlier than figured – costing some folks big bucks. However, the movie was made for very little, so while its initial big screen foray won’t be a monster, PA:TGD will still be a financial success. The real flop tales belong to Rock the Kasbah and Jem and the Holograms. Kasbah, starring Bill Murray, expanded from a soft opening and absolutely tanked. Making

just $1.8 million while being shown in 2,012 theaters, the movie became the fifth worst opening ever for a 2,000-plus theater release. Fortunately for Kasbah, Jem arrived the same week. Despite a built-in audience of thirtysomething women and their little daughters, word got out that the entire premise of the 1980’s cartoon had been altered into some kind of coming-of-age, modernized tale. That enraged the fan base and cyberspace was filled with demands for a boycott. It must’ve worked; Jem made a miniscule $1.3 million in a whopping 2,413 theaters. That averages to a mere $547 per theaters – catapulting the dud to the fourth worst opening ever. (In case you’re wondering, the three movies that performed worse are: No. 3 – Saw 10th Anniversary in 2014 [$650,051 opening, $315 per theater]; No. 2 – Delgo in 2008 [$511,920 opening, $237 per theater]; and No. 1 – Oogieloves in the BIG Balloon Adventure [$443,901 opening, $206 per theater].) The real loser in the long run, however, is likely Witch Hunter. The other misfires of the week didn’t cost much to make; while Witch Hunter wasn’t a mega-expensive film, it ended up being around $80 million

COMMUNITY Wednesday, October 28, 2015

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Halloween is coming – a time for spooky creatures and scary goings-on. In Texas, you can fi nd plenty of haunted places: old hotels, mental hospitals, and even an aircraft carrier (the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi). Closer to here, the abandoned Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells is a well-known place where things have gone bump in the night for decades, including orbs and “phantom aromas,” according to hauntedplaces.org. It’s the second most haunted site in Texas, the website notes. In Fort Worth, Thistle Hill is one of a slew of haunted places in Cowtown. The mansion houses a ghostly woman who appears atop the grand staircase and a dead man in tennis attire. Mysterious music and footsteps echo there, too. In Weatherford, Angel’s Nest Bed and Breakfast on the west side of town has had items strewn about and footsteps coming from rooms with no one in them. Nearby creepiness Just down Highway 199 is the Lake Worth Castle. Supposedly roaming the grounds of the abode – which looks like a castle, kinda – is a ghostly bride and an apparition of a man wandering in and out of the residence on the shores of the lake. Recent personal tales are documented on the web site, including one where a car wouldn’t start and another where the bride was seen in the dead of night last July. There’s a report of a haunted place in Poolville; reports of electrical malfunctions, a screaming child, and a guy who looks like Abraham Lincoln have been reported on Clover Drive.

A stocker said he got shoved in the back over and over; PLEASE SEE BOO, PAGE 2B. he eventually refused to go to the back storeroom. In another incident, one woman had just moved into her grandmother’s old home and heard laughing and voices from the back room. Upon investigating, she said a “shadowy fi gure” stood and stared at her, freaking her out so badly that she raced out of the house and called the cops. Police found no intruders. When selling the home to another family, they detailed their other experiences of shadows and voices to the potential buyers. Still, the newcomers bought the place – and lasted only two weeks before fleeing. The house remains vacant. A woman who moved into a trailer house had her bed kicked and moved on her fi rst day in it. Then a cold descended upon her. People reported seeing a man peering at them from the corner of a church on Timberoaks. He fl ed when approached, so two people resolved to come both directions at him to trap him. When cornered, the man faded away. Off Sandy Lee Lane, a woman said she has seen three shadowy shapes hover over her at night before ascending into the ceiling. The same woman said she lived off Poe Street once, next to a purported haunted house. Old gardening tools were moved from there and locked up in the woman’s house. The next day, the tools were discovered back at the scary home. A woman said a little girl with pigtails disappeared after playing with puppies in the laundry room in her Azle house. In a wooded area of town near Tumbleweed Court, some folks have reported drumming in the middle of the night. A boy in red shorts who appears dirty has shown up off Dunaway Lane near the old roller rink. He was spied on the roadway before fading away. All these incidents are recorded at ghostsofamerica.com.

Springtown spectres A woman reported that in her house on Browning Drive in Springtown, she kept hearing footsteps in the middle of the night. After a ghostly woman bent over a newborn’s crib and things began disappearing, the family could take no more and moved away. On West 4th Street, the owners suspected their home was a onetime site of devil worshiping; pentagrams were etched on walls and burn marks charred the fl oor. Their dog barked incessantly at the ceiling and disembodied voices were heard in neighboring A haunted church rooms.

back. A man in a Quaker-style hat has been spied in the church shadows. Several photographs taken through the years have shown orbs or unknown steaks of light. Blue lights have been seen popping up in the brush near the church and, in the nearby tree stands, shadowy fi gures lurk. Heat has been felt rising over an ancient burn pit. And a “stern” man named Lily has been seen and felt inside the church. Today, formerly boarded up windows have had the wood ripped away – presumably from the outside – allowing This derelict church off Carter Road south of Springtown is considered one of the most haunted structures not only in North Texas but in the bold mortals to peer inside the entire state. Phantom footfalls, glowing orbs, and unearthly shadows lurking in nearby woods have been documented. Photo by Mark K. Campbell haunted structure…if they dare.
