Breaking News: Clarks Summit Home Believed To Be Haunted
By: Brigitte Geiss, Associate Editor October 24, 2002
Abington Area Residents Fearing Haunts On All Hallow's Eve.
A ghastly gathering of ghosts, goblins and ghouls. It's that glorius time of year for the not so faint at heart. It's a time for playing tricks, munching on treats and hoping to keep your nerves in check where they belong. That is, of course, only if you don't live in the Abingtons! We are rapidly approaching All Hallow's Eve and for those of you that value your sanity, you may want to run for cover. That Halloween Eve will surely be enough to send children cackling with insanity while parents cower beneath their beds. Not to worry, you should be alright. Unless you live on Sean Drive. Strange things have been happening in the Abington Area since the beginning of the month and it all leads back to that one solitary road.
Alien space crafts have been spotted circling the area and snatching unsuspecting victims. If you get too close to house number 107, you may not excape the Demon's Lair. Should you break free, stay focused and pay no attention to the tortured faces in the windows. Be sure to watch were you step for the Cryptkeeper skeleton is watching and waiting for the next body to add to the crypt. If by chance you come acrose a female ghost, give a warm hello but don't get too close. That ghost is a big part of the problem on Sean Drive. This woman goes by the name of Mary and is preparing for her one night of terror. Though she haunts the home the whole month of October, her strength culminates on Halloween and pries open the gates of the other relm to horrify all who dare trespass on her land.
Legend has it that in the early 1800s a woman by the name of Mary Beemer moved to, what we call the Abingtons, with her husband and children. On a stormy Halloween evening, Mary set out on horseback into the woods. The horse returned, without Mary. The mystery lends itself to the tale of an old witch that cursed Mary to an eternity haunting the woods she trespassed upon.
Thursday, October 31, the Abington area with errupt with ghostly beings and horrific creatures. Come see for yourself, if you dare.
