Also if anyone's interested, here's another very local ghost story.
Around 20 minutes driving from where I live, there's an old farm house that's known as the godless toll house.
In the 1800s, 1900s, it would be where you would pay toll to pass the bridge next to it, but it's surrounded by spooky legends. Stories tell about the villagers finding the owner tied against the fence with his head on his body backwards, said to be the work of the devil.
What has been confirmed, though, is that the toll collector living there from 1812 wasn't afraid of physically attacking people who didn't pay toll, and wasn't afraid of murder either. He's shot at his wife once. After him, the house was property of his son-in-law, who once watched while his two sons drowned in the swamp.
Later, while renovating the bridge they found a skeleton in the water, and when they confronted the owner of the house he got scared and hung himself.
Long story short, there's numerous stories about the devil having posessed the house, ghosts, people going crazy, all the stuff. It's still there, people live in it.
