~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
here, now, to get the ball rolling, is our good pal, adam hutchinson!
todd,
I know you were asking for scary stories. I don't really have any (great
way to start huh?) but I work in a building that is supposed to be haunted.
I work in the old Herkimer County Courthouse. It's the courthouse that held
the Chester Gillette (made "famous" in An American Tragedy and Murder in the
Adirondacks) and the Roxalana Druse trials. My office was the old Judge's
Chambers and my boss's office is the old Jury Chamber.
The story goes that the building is haunted by Roxalana Druse's ghost. I've
never experienced anything, but she's supposed wander my floor. I do make a
point that if I have to come in after dark to be in and out as fast as
possible.
This is the story of her trial:
"On February 28, 1887 - 40 year old Roxalana Druse was hanged in New
York for murder. Roxalana and her retarded daughter, Mary, beat her
husband John (aged 72) to death and then chopped up his body, afterwards
boiling down the remains. They lived in a frontier cabin in Little Falls,
New York, and were caught because her 12 year old son informed the police
that his father was missing. The alleged motive for the crime was that her
husband worked her too hard. Her daughter was given a prison sentence for
her part in the crime.
At her execution, Roxalana was jerked upwards by a weighted rope
(instead of being dropped through a trap door) and this failed to break her
neck. She took 15 agonizing minutes to strangle to death on the noose. The
scene so upset the officials that it was decided to alter the method of
execution and this led to the introduction of the electric chair in 1890.
(She was the last woman hanged in New York State.)"
What's kinda creepy is that the jail where is she was hung is across the
street, and we all park behind it. If you look up at the back of the old
jail, the door she came out when she was hung is still there, as is the hook
they used to hold the rope. Also during the hanging so many people gathered
to watch that people were forced to sit on nearby roofs to get a "good
view."
So there's my one not really scary story, but if I do ever run into Mrs.
Druse, I'll give you the full account.
Sincerely,
Adam Hutchinson
thanks, adam!
good one!

Hey Todd,
That sounds like some really cool loot.
I might just try to get in on that contest.
That story is pretty creepy Adam. I probably wouldn't stay around after dark too much either, just in case.
You know, I was thinking of dusting off "Down in the Dump," but, after reading the prizes, for some strange reason, I already feel like a winner. ; )
I think I'll give another fan a chance and sit on the sidelines for this one.
Got what I thought was a pretty scary idea for a story, so ignore that prior post, I'm in and my winging it's way to 'Haps Central via the world wide web as I type.

He said it simply, openly. He answered, without smiling, Always. The entire San Sebastian swindle. But suppose I slipped up? He was pacing impatiently across the office. I had nothing to do with it! They are nothing but vicious animals. Id like you to understand.
For now, we rely on Jarak and hope Savous and Hyle get back in time. Dirt and grime smeared his skin, and his sleek hair was a knotted, tangled mess. A number of prices? Brevin stood, another cloth in hand. She felt the soothing fingers of a sleep spell seep into her mind. The smile was still there. But maybe we could eat first? Tossing her ponytail behind her shoulders, Eyrhaen got to her knees and crawled forward. Nialdlye stood to one side, directing. But that wasnt to be. What do you think, Tyk? Shed come and done what she didnt want to do shed done the right thing. She snapped back down to look at Brevin. But Brevins weight kept her where she was. She rolled her hips so his shaft rubbed her opening. He was too tall for her lips to meet his normally. Even from a distance, the man was striking. He murdered all of my babies after they were born. Breathing quickly, she brought their foreheads together. Before he was done, she reached down with her free hand to palm his cock.
Theyre right on top of us, and Savous and Hyle are both on the surface. Dirt and grime smeared his skin, and his sleek hair was a knotted, tangled mess. The bowl and spoon remained, but the girl and infant were nowhere to be seen. Arkir grabbed for Lanthan and managed to keep his hold as the smaller man twisted. She would not cause that fear tonight.
