An feerie Legend
What's creepier than a story about a place that's haunted? WY% about actually taking a short trip to
visit that place? Here's an experience Von on't forget.
During the summer, a few friends and I got together to explore an area in Erie called Ax Murder
Hollow. Many years ago, there lived a couple in Millereek. The man suspected his wife of cheating on
him with a younger man. Of course she denied it. and w ['ether or not it was true, no one will ever know.
But because of the married man's suspicion and temper, he went after his wife, and chopped off her
head and killed all of his children with an ax. It is supposedly said that the man died years later, but his
ghost still roams that part of the woods looking for his wife's lover.
Also, legend has it that the house is still there, hut difficult to find. It has a stairway that goes down
into a ravine. When climbing down the stairs there are five steps, but when going hack up, there are six.
Which path is it?
After hearing this legend, my friends and I decided to investigate and see what we could come up
with. Four of us piled into a van on a dreary Saturday afternoon in July, and head out for Sterretania.
We made it to Sterretania, but took a wrong turn, having to back track. We drove a few miles down the
road, passing a dog kennel and a school, finding Thomas Road. By this time it was about seven, eight
o'clock and the sun was starting to set.
'Thomas Road is almost completely covered with trees. and there are about six houses on the whole
road, including a junkyard. In other words, it is terrifyingly desolate. We parked the van on the right
side of the road and walked around a bit. It was dark and all we had were a few flashlights, a cell phone,
and no idea where the exact spot %%as. After walking around awhile, we found a barricaded path with a
NO TRESPASS sign in front of it, so we took a stroll.
We came upon a split in the path, and looked up. There in front of us was the tree that pointed to the
path. It was a dead tree with its branches pointing to the right. The path was dark and it appeared that
others had been suspicious of the legend as well, or just out having a good time. We noticed the abun
dant supply of Labatt Blue Ice cans scattered around the area. The pathway went downward to a brush
pile that my one friend and I dared not venture down, so we let the boys go. We stood around waiting
for them to come back up, and noticed urns incredibly silent it was, so when we heard a noise, we
panicked.
We decided it was time to go back. Climbing back into the truck, we remembered there was supposed
to be a gypsy house around, and that the gypsies would throw things that they stole from the junkyard
at passing cars. But we didn't get a chance to visit them.
About a week ago, my friend and I went back to the hollow. Even during the day, it was just as creepy
as it was at night. The paths are still dark and there are so many of them; we didn't find anything. But,
we did find the gypsy house, with a NO TRESPASS sign in front of it, along with a multitude of KEEP
OUT and DO NOT ENTER signs.
As for finding something to do in Erie, I really w imidn't recommend putting "visit hollow" on your to
do list. This Halloween, try doing something a little di &fent. GO to a party, hang out with friends; the
hollow is not a place to visit if vou're looking for a good time. But maybe it will give you a good scare.

Not long ago, my friend and I visited a Chinese buffet
that was on the other side of town. After being seated, my
friend and I went up to the buffet and not long afterward, I
returned to the table and waited for my friend.
He appeared a few moments later with a mountainous
pile of food on his plate, balancing it carefully as he walked.
I stared at him blankly, stating, "You know you can go u
for seconds."
"Oh," he replied.
As I ate some General Tso's Chicken, I felt a shooting
pain in my mouth and winced in agony, spitting a hard object
out on the table.
I examined what had hurt me and noticed that it was a
small metal plate, and inscribed on it was the name "Fluffy."
screamed and fled the restaurant.
