I mentioned that I was aware of a number of supernatural stories from Pennsylvania and Laurs suggested that I write about some of them. These are only a small sample of what I have heard about and took most of my information from the below mentioned book. What stories have you heard about?
Supernatural In Pennsylvania
Reviewing Beyond Disclosure by Harrison Koehli in our reading workshop reminded me of the numerous stories I’ve heard growing up in Pennsylvania. Most of the information is from Supernatural Lore of Pennsylvania by Thomas White,
Ghost stories are a memory of something real that had an impact on people and their community. They may also be repeated as a reminder of danger.
The ghost of Barbara Davidson, born in 1777 South Carolina, has haunted the area around Cannelton Rd, near Little Beaver Rd, Beaver County. Barbara’s family relocated to Pennsylvania after they lost their land to the British. In 1795, her parents and the rest of the family went to Pittsburgh to purchase livestock and poultry. When they returned, Barbara was nowhere to be found. After the community helped the family search for their daughter, they made a horrific discovery. Barbara’s headless body was found jammed into the crawlspace under their house. They never found her killer. Barbara’s headless ghost wanders the old family property, seeking vengeance on her killer.
Betty Knox of Dunbar, PA Fayette County was born in 1842 on a farm in Kentuck Knob. She was an only child and lost her mother to consumption at 3. When she was 17 she lost her father. She supplemented her income hauling grain to the gristmill in Ferguson Hollow.
One trip she met a wounded soldier and took him home to nurse him back to health. He never recovered from his injuries. Betty returned to her daily trip over the mountain. Sometime in 1878 the trips came to an end. The neighbors searched for her but never from her. It is reported that her pale specter wanders the old trail, sometimes on foot or on her ghostly wagon.
The White Lady, Wopsononck Mountain in Central PA dares from around the late 1800s and involves a couple who were involved in a deadly accident on a narrow mountain road. Several versions of this story exist. In one version the couple were eloping and the bride's father was chasing them. Numerous witnesses claim to have seen the apparition of the distraught women wandering near the bend looking for something. There are similar stories in at least six other counties.
In November 1969, Betsy Aardsma was a 22 year old graduate student who majored in English, Friday, November 28th she went to Patee Library to see her professor and do some research for paper, Between 4:30 and 4:45 she was in the stacks, Level 2 core, rows 50 and 51.
Nine people were within 70 feet of rows 50 and 51. They heard a noise, a gasp and books falling. They found Betsy and got help from Ritenour Health Center. She was declared dead at 5:50 that night. She was stabbed in the breastbone by a hunting style knife with one edged blade 3 ½ to 4 inches in length. No weapon was found. Her murderer was never found.
Some believe that Betsy never left the library. Some people hear a scream come from the stacks. Some see a young woman in the stacks where Betsy was killed. Paranormal activity is frequently reported,
Lake Erie was formed at the end of the younger Dryas. Serpents have been reported since 1817.
On July 3, 1812 a crew of schooner reported seeing a creature 35-40 feet long and one foot around. It was dark mahogany in color.
In 1854 fisherman reported a serpentine form moving about the water. It was 16 feet long and greenish with an erect head and tail.
In 1892, 2 fishermen spotted a 25 foot long, 18 inch in diameter creature that propelled itself
using flippers located about 5 feet from its head. It was black and brown with mottled spots.
The 1990s had frequent sightings of the South Bay Bessie. It has been fairly dormant in the last few decades.
PAs werewolf stories date from the late 1700s through the 1800s.
Midwife Mary DePo, from Little Buffalo Creek, was returning home after delivering triplets.WHen she saw a wolf she ran home. Her husband grabbed his rifle and loaded it with 2 pewter bullets wrapped in sacramental wax. He shot the wolf once and then moved closer to see if he needed to deliver another round. His neighbor was lying near death at his feet. He thanked him for releasing him from his torment.
Ape boy of Chester Swamp In the mid 1700’s an unattractive boy who was savagely teased, tolerated years of abuse until he ran off to live in the swamp. He grew hair all over his body and became more animal-like. He had been seen roaming the swamps looking for food during the Revolutionary War.
Nearby, the infamous Jersey Devil, was born a demon-like child who flew off to live in Pine Barrow. Both of these monsters have been spotted for 200 years in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Beginning in the 1950’s, a number of strange shapes and lights were spotted in the Poconos. February 23, 1954 in Snow Hill a ball of fire dropped from the sky, July 6, 1954 above Tannersville, a UFO was spotted flying near the top of Big Pocono and flew toward Mount Pocono. The object was a large white shiny box. In September of 1957 a flying saucer moved north across the Delaware Water Gap.
On March 1, 1973 at Saylor’s Lake, over a dozen witnesses, including a state trooper, watched waves of strange lights pass over the lake in 15 minute intervals.There were between 39-42 objects flying over between 7:15 and 10;45. There was no noise, each the size of a child's wading pool and either white, blue or red. On March 13th the lights appeared again. It was at 7:15 and about a dozen lights.
Harrison mentioned the Pennsylvania Triangle that is centered In DuBois, Clearfield County. The boundaries of the triangle are undefined but paranormal activity has reported frequently. Kecksburg Pa is called the Roswell of Pennsylvania,
In 1965 a huge fireball was seen across several states. A crash of a bell shaped object was reported. They have a yearly festival to commemorate the event.
There are many more stories but I can only type so long. I believe every area has stories to tell. It would be interesting to hear them.

I've also attached the mind map below in both PNG & PDF form. For readability, here's printed the mind map in bulleted form here:
Part 1: Windows, Portals and Other-Dimensional Beings - Other Transdimensional Beings
- Transdimensional Nature of Cryptids: The chapter explores beings like the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Lizard Man, and Men in Black as transdimensional entities, often manifesting temporarily through dimensional windows, influenced by human consciousness, fear, and environmental factors like EM fields or geological activity.
- Loch Ness Monster’s Characteristics: Described as 40-foot vegetarian serpents in underwater caverns, Nessie is transdimensional, blinking in and out of 3rd-density due to frequency shifts and spatiotemporal distortions, possibly linked to hyperdimensional UFO bases, as suggested by Jason Reza Jorjani.
- Bigfoot’s Complex Role: Bigfoot is depicted as transdimensional, potentially survivors from Mars or Maldek, serving as “slaves” or “pets” to 4D STS Lizard beings for tasks like sample collection or abductions, often associated with UFOs, anomalous lights, and sulfurous odors indicating trans-density movement.
- (Steph_Rivers): Maybe due to these karmic burdens they have to pay, they are subservient to the lizzies and are stuck in 2D bodies.
- (Pecha): Maybe it's encrypted due to us as wave readers not being able to perceive this entity (Yeti) clearly and only see a fog.
- (Bluefyre): When it says sublinear, maybe it is not in the same linearity with regards with time?
- (RedFox): Can Bigfoot move between 3D and 4D at will, or does it need to be managed by others?
- (Steph_Rivers): In a a general sense, what can Bigfoot do in the physical world
- (Seato): It reminds me of the folks using telepathy to communicate and summon UAPs.
- (RedFox): In 4D I read it's really quite, phones and batteries just die as well. Do these telepathic powers manifest in 4D?
- Lizard Man Sightings: The Bishopville, SC, Lizard Man is a likely window-faller, with genuine sightings despite some faked photos, suggesting localized transdimensional activity tied to environmental conditions, though specific triggers remain unclear.
- Men in Black as Projections: MIB are 4D STS Lizard projections, materializing as thought-forms to intimidate UFO witnesses, using advanced technology to cross dimensional barriers, with robot-like behavior, odd physical traits (e.g., olive skin, long fingers), and effects like energy drainage or confusion.
- Consciousness and Environmental Influence: These beings’ manifestations rely on human expectations and emotions (e.g., fear, belief), amplified by EM conditions, volcanic regions, or cosmic events, with some leaving temporary physical traces (e.g., Bigfoot’s DNA, odors) despite their ephemeral nature.
- (Steph_Rivers): About a year or two ago in Louisiana and there was this strange ammonia smell like cat urine. The dog didn't urinate there in the crawlspace and after a while it went away. Usually it would linger longer.
- (Redrock12): Knew some people that didn't want to leave their kids out too late since that area in Canada had a bunch of sightings. Other strange things happened in the town over where cars in an area would suddenly lose battery.
- (Steph_Rivers): Saw a UFO about a month ago. After this, someone spoke with my son and another guy came to get my attention, then when I look up, the UFO was gone. Felt a tension in the air. Actually saw 3 in the past month. The first one was a jellyfish (like the Iraqi UFO/entity video), the second was a black orb, and the last one was a couple of orbs (one was dark red) that were flying around each other with maneuvers that surpassed drones.
- (Seato): Beyond the Veil by Erins B. Erins. They describe the process of 5D communication. The recently deceased have easier communication to those on 3D. The triage mentioned here reminds me of that.
- (Redrock12): I was 11 years old and I had this huge stomach cramp, but in my mind's eye, I saw these little critters digging in on my stomach. I also saw this angel with this big broadsword standing at the foot of my bed. I asked him to get him and with a stroke of his sword, removed the critters and the cramps subsided.
- (Steph_Rivers): It looks like it needs a tremendous amount of energy, like an electrical storm to blast open the curtain.
- (RedFox): I heard a meteor caused something like this. It may be Skinwalker ranch.
- (Aliana): There's an area off the coast by Louisiana that has a very strange, eerie feeling. It's heavily foresteds
- (Stephen_Rivers): I believe I've driven there before.
- (Breo): Had a similar experience when riding my back home. Tried out a new path that goes through a forest and an empty farm. There was a very eerie feeling when going past this farm, then went away after I got away from it.
- (Laurs): It's like Lethbridge's Power of the Pendulum, he would go to these places with strange energies and investigates.
For Next Time: We will continue with the next section titled "More Interdimensional Beings", which is part of Part 1: Windows, Portals and Other-Dimensional Beings - Window Fallers.
See y'alls!

His interview with Candace Owens on how pornography is spiritual warfare devised to enslavement, domination & control:
I was speaking about the Atchafalaya Swamp, and the long bridge (part of I-10) that you have to drive over when going from TX to LA. I was wondering if there really was something creepy about the place, or if it was just that I loathe the idea of driving for miles with nothing but a swamp below me. And, apparently there are more reasons for my dislike of the place:
It's also been said to be a convenient place for the criminal underworld to dispose of bodies - whether true or urban myth, i have no idea. Apparently some enterprising souls also give 'haunted tours' of the basin. No thanks!!
That was definitely not the place I would drive through. never taken the I-10 from LA to TX. I would drive the I20 from Shreveport to Dallas! That's creepy!
This was a great interview @Arwenn
Really appreciate you sharing. I have downloaded the book and am making a start. I really appreciate how so much of what we have read in the reading workshops over the years, from Mcgilchrist, to the articles about the puritans were put into a succinct interview. only gripe is the interview was too short. Thanks again
