Pennsylvania Legends

The issue delves into several local legends:

• Chadds Ford Township: This area, near the Delaware border, is associated with tales of a wealthy, incestuous DuPont family who allegedly used a nearby 'Cult House' for ritualistic purposes. Legends speak of bent trees and piles of animal corpses. Activity is sometimes attributed to teenage pranksters.
• Williamsport, PA: Wildwood Cemetery is described as having a 'good side' where fairies are seen and a 'bad side' populated by ghoulish creatures and individual tombs from which voices can be heard. A statue is said to cry and change position, and a retired fireman designed a large mausoleum for himself and his family that could be opened from the inside.
• Fayette County (Chaintown): This area, located near railroad tracks and a trestle, is said to be haunted by the spirits of prisoners who were shot there if they became too weak to work on the chain gang.

Crypto-Zoology Information

UFORCOP is seeking information on sightings of Panthers, Mountain lions, Cougars, Thunderbirds, Large Snakes, Strange Creatures, and Bigfoot in Pennsylvania.
