But then of course you run the risk of it washing or blowing away before it has a chance to sprout out in the spring.

That was then and this is now. There were about six of us at the table and the rest of them were all taking medicine. They all envied me because I didn’t take any medicine at all. Boy, have things changed! I now take fifteen pills per day.

As this Historian told the crowd assembled for last Friday’s HO&WL Walk on the Liberty Rail Trail organized by the Sullivan County O&W Rail Trail Alliance, there are any number of spooky tales and ghost stories written about Sullivan County that make for suitable Halloween reading—Stephen Crane’s “The Black Dog” and Washington Irving’s “A Marvelous Tale of Mamakating Hollow” among them-- but the region’s most famous and enduring ghost story is not a work of fiction at all.
