Indiantown Gap – Hotel Road –

In the current state game lands just North West of Indiantown Gap, by Hawk Watch Mnt. Used to be the site of a summer hotel for the rich in the early 1800′s. Through its years it didn’t make much money, the owners closed down the hotel for it to later be bought and remade into a boyscout camp. The hotel suffered a horrifying fire and the majority of the residents inside of it burned to death. Just up the hill from the hotel is an old abandoned railroad bed. Along this railroad bed, from the 1600′s to late 1800′s early 1900′s, sat a multitude of mine towns. One such mine town, about 3 miles from the hotel, was named Raush Gap. It had a population of about 1,000 people. This mine town house a family who’s only job was to switch the tracks for the trains. The man in the house fell ill and died, and during a time of morning his wife forgot to switch the tracks. This lead to a horrific train accident killing upwards of 250 people. When the wreck was all cleaned up and the bodies buried in a, yet undiscovered because its hidden in the woods behind the current standing cemetery, mass grave. The towns people turned on the woman for not doing her job and were on their way to lynch the woman. To their dismay they did not find her, at least not alive, the woman had thrown herself in front of a moving train killing her instantly. To this day the part of the tracks where the wreck happened you get a heavy feeling of pain on your chest, it is hard to breath, it is always about 20 – 30 degrees cooler than anywhere else. You can hear the train whistle, and it is stated that you will see a figure of a woman holding a lantern, the lady with the lantern, roaming the tracks, seemingly looking for the train she once lost. And if she sees you she will rush towards you and if she passes through you, you will die in a car accident that will look like you were hit by a train.

Indiantown Gap – Green Point –

Moonshine church & Cemetery – Driving up the hill (Rt.443) to the church at night(church on the left/cemetery on the right) IF you dare to stop(especially at Halloween) around midnight chances your car will shut off Weird noises can be heard around the whole area. Among various paranormal phenomena, the most commonly reported is that of car engines cutting out when being driven past the cemetery. Also it’s said that a girl went into the church and said The Lord’s Prayer backwards and was struck dead by lightening. Also in and around the same area(Indiantown Gap),it’s said that The “Headless Horseman” rides through the valley looking for a new head. – March 2005 Correction: Earlier submitted that you see blue eyes in the trees at the end of the cemetery, supposedly the “Blue-Eyed Six” were hung there for murdering a man. The cemetery at this church is said to be haunted by the Blue-Eyed Six, a gang that murdered a local man and whose members were all subsequently hung in the cemetery as punishment (a play has been written about this event and was possibly copyrighted). This information is NOT TRUE. The Blue Eyed Six were never related in any way to the church or it’s cemetery. Although all these things occurred within this area more or less. They never were hung in the cemetery or buried there, nor is it believed they would have any reason to haunt this place as they have no worldly connections. The Blue eyed six were all caught and tried in the Lebanon County Court House, hung in the courtyard of the Lebanon County prison except Josiah Hummel who died in Prison, and all were buried separately on their individual homesteads. Many in the area where brought up to believe the Moonshine Church and the entire wooded area of Indiantown Gap was haunted by what is known as THE RED DEVIL! The submitter of the correction is also submitting a personal experience and will be posted when we get a link.
