  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    One time certain people lived in a house near Hacketstown. Every night chains would rattle and ponies would run around the yard. This night the master of the house went out to cut a tree. The chains rattled again and he could not go out. The next day he cut the tree in the middle and the ponies nor chains were never seen or heard of after.
