History & local legend
Snyder Cemetery, a family burial ground near Moraine State Park, is associated with a presence called Ol’ Red Eyes. Local storytellers identify the glowing eyes as Conrad Snyder, guarding the family graves and chasing away people who disturb them.
While trying to find the cemetery, the Pennsylvania Rambler stopped at a gas station and heard the legend from an older man. He had never seen the eyes himself, but said people occasionally came in claiming they had been chased out by them.
A young woman at the same station offered directions and her own memories. She and her friends had heard unexplained voices near the graves and once saw a strange light in the woods. On another visit, a figure walking along the road disappeared as they approached. Other local accounts describe a green light hovering above a headstone.
