on the front of the building many years ago. The door was painted white, but some color later bled through that

-AAA Bentley Farms - It was Christmas Eve when Otis Hilterbrand froze to death while getting a stack of
wood for the fire. His wife and daughter had gone to Eastgate to do some shopping when Otis slipped and fell.
He was knocked unconscious and died on the door step of the back porch, where he was found the next
morning. This was not the first death that occurred at the residence, however. Years earlier his mother had
passed away after being bed ridden for many decades. Her bed was located on the windowless east side of the
house. Many strange events have occurred and have no other explanation than paranormal. An older
gentleman wearing overalls can be seen walking behind the house. The TV power dies unexplainably and when
the new roof was being put on, a 2x4 flew up and cracked one of the workers upside the head...there was no
wind. While working on the barn, the farm owner slipped with an ax and caught himself in the leg. While this was
happening, the screen doors of the house were opening and closing at random. One calm night with a full
moon, the eastern side of the house began to shake and continued to do so for ten minutes. The people
sleeping in the bed were scared awake. Sometimes Otis can be seen on the premises and is even talked to by
the home's inhabitants and visitors. When he is unhappy he lets his presence be known.
Abner Hollow - The stretch of West Fork Road is rumored to be haunted by a middle-aged man who was riding

morning. Upon inspecting his room, the owner found bloodstains on the floor, but no signs of the man. Years
later during remodeling, workers discovered the skeleton of the missing man under the floor boards, but they
did not find his head. The bloodstains are still soaked into the floor and cannot be scrubbed out. The man is
said to haunt the place, looking for his head. Odd occurrences, like mysterious footsteps and the piano playing
by itself, are contributed to his ghost.
