In the story "to the gallows" I couldn't find anything online to corroborate the story, though I did find a mention of it in The Daily Intelligencer from Doylestown PA Feb 26, 1973 titled "I murdered, I am the one who should hang" Apparently the paper only learned of the story because someone sent a clipping of this tale from Ripley's to a relative in Doylestown PA.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the origins of ghost stories or tall tales have their roots in imagination rather than reality.
Thanks for the thought provoking post!
Its really great that you did the research. I always wondered about the "Believe It Or Not" Stories but assumed that they had an element of truth to them. Great job on your part!
