Legend of Halloween Hill

When I was growing up I learned this story about an abandoned logging camp ( it didn't have a name, just a number ) and it was called SE-158.

Anyway one day, it was late summer this guy got caught cheating at a game of cards and he was hung up on the hill behind the camp and left there to rot.

Being that it was Summer...well.

A couple of weeks later his wife came into town to claim his body ( they made her cut what was still left of him hanging down herself ) and on her way out of town she stopped and told these people at the side of the road, " I'll be back for you next..."

Pretty soon people started seeing this woman with her horse and cart riding up and down the road and within a few hours there would be a death somewhere in town.

When the supply train came in later that fall no one was there waiting on it.

Everyone was gone.

So no there's this story that this woman and a horse drawn cart are out on Highway 158 looking for one thing-she's looking for people who have less then a day to live and from what I understand she's pretty good at it.

So that's the story behind the Real Halloween Hill- there's a church and a school and and a saloon and an old lumber mill and houses and even a graveyard.

Lots of things happened when Halloween Hill was alive and lots of things have happened since it 'died'

Will you take the Challenge?

Will you go up to Halloween Hill and find your own story?

The Brave, The Curious and The Foolish can post their findings here on the Halloween Hill Blog

On October 31st We'll all meet here to see what we've found...I hope.
