History & local legend
Main Street in Adamstown, Lancaster County, is associated with a small black dog said to follow pedestrians for a few blocks before vanishing. The animal appears without an owner, offering walkers an apparently ordinary companion until it disappears.
Another Main Street tradition concerns two women. People who try to follow them supposedly watch them head toward the cemetery and then lose sight of them altogether. Adamstown also has a separate story about headless hogs at an old distillery, where pigs once fed on spent mash.
