History & local legend

Frank lived with his family on Swallow Hill Road in Scott Township from 1977 to 1979. In an account published by Ghostvillage on July 31, 2003, he described a nightly disturbance in their kitchen.

Before bed, the family pushed every chair beneath the table. From upstairs, they heard the chairs scraping across the floor. The noise stopped as soon as someone started down the stairs. Frank recalled returning the chairs to their places, going back upstairs and hearing them move again.

He also described being tapped on the shoulder in bed until he turned around. On other nights, he woke to find his blankets removed and spread flat on the floor.
