History & local legend
The woods across from D Street and Norton Road in Lower Yoder Township have a local reputation for voices, whistling and lights after dark. Both children and adults were said to hear someone among the trees without finding a person there. Neighbors sometimes connected the sounds with the coal miners who had worked in the area.
One distinctive part of the story concerns the woodland paths. People reportedly emerged from a walk badly frightened, only to feel drawn back into the same woods as soon as they reached the road.
