History & local legend
The Pelachik house story circulated around Sayre in Bradford County, often sending curious people into the woods. In August 2009, former resident Dave Pelachik clarified that his childhood home stood on Pitney Street in neighboring South Waverly.
Pelachik said he had experienced four things there that he could not explain. A correspondent who exchanged messages with him later described reports of voices and apparitions inside. Pelachik distinguished those experiences from the familiar creaking and settling of an old house.
