History & local legend

Foxwood Road near Koppel in Beaver County has two different apparition traditions. One describes a headless rider crossing the road at midnight. A contributor responding in February 2004 remembered a little girl with two hounds instead, locating her near an old cemetery.

The road also passes the historic Rocky Spring area near Craun Lane. The congregation first met outdoors there, sitting on logs and placing communion dishes on a flat rock beside a spring, before obtaining land for a church and cemetery in 1833.
