History & local legend
Ganister, a former quarry village at the foot of Lock Mountain in Blair County, has a story about a house that appears after its demolition. The Pennsylvania Researchers Organization recorded reports from drivers who said they saw the building on the mountainside even though it had been torn down years earlier.
In the account, the house remains visible long enough to be recognized, then vanishes and leaves the slope empty again.
