In the early 1800's, there existed a small farming community named Ebbington (eventually called the Abingtons) just outside of Slocum Hollow (eventually called Scranton). A woman named Mary Beemer moved there from New England with her husband and ten children. She was described as being very finicky, and curious female. One Halloween night during a terrible storm, Mary mysteriously set out into the woods on horseback. It is believed that she intruded upon the home of an old witch who cursed her to haunt those woods forever. Exactly what happened is still a mystery, but the undisputed fact is that her horse returned without her and she was never seen again.
Until now.
In the last few years, very strange things have been happening in the area where Mary once lived. Residents have reported seeing a strange ghostly figure, weird apparitions and hearing noises in the weeks leading up to Halloween. It has also been said that Halloween night, the farm that now rests on the land where Mary once lived will be transformed into the Haunt in the Abingtons
