In Bucks County PA you can find Hansell Road; it's an innocent looking
road except for the reports of what goes on there
after dark. I have visited Hansell rd, and I personally have nothing
strange to report, except that the night I went with some
friends, I lost one of my mufflers on my Camaro trying to high tail it
out of there when another car was coming.
(I thought it was the officer that kicked us out the night before)
Although I've never seen anything, I have a close friend and
a few aquaintences that have experienced the "haunting" first hand. One
of the stories I hear is that a glowing green light can be seen in the
woods next to the road, swinging as if it were a lantern being held by
someone. That sounds fairly inconclusive,
until you hear what it does next. A close friend of mine visited the
road with some of her friends one night and saw the same
light working it's way through the woods towards their pickup truck. My
friend tells me that the light was growing larger and larger and when it
reached the road, it hovered for a few seconds; then proceeded to "drop"
straight down and
splatter on the road, resembling the same effect as a drop of water
falling into a puddle. This was all scary enough until the
light came back up to the surface of the road closer to the truck and
started rolling towards them. My friend convinced the driver to get a
move on, and the ball of green light rolled off into the woods. I've
heard the same story from a number of poeple
who have witnessed this thing, and according to everyone I've talked to
they were skeptics until it happened to themselves.
Unfortunately, last year the township paved the narrow road (which used
to be dirt and potholes) to accomodate the new development that was just
built at the entrance to the road. I've spoken to poeple who haven't
seen anything since the road was paved, but who knows????? You can find
Hansell Road between Buckingham and Pipersville on Rte. 413 Bucks County
Pennsylvania.
P.S.--If you are going to try it, you'll need to
know this:
1. It sounds cheesy, but the only way this
phenomena works is by going at night, finding the correct spot to sit
in, (it's a short road, use trial and error as tough as it sounds) and
turning off your car and ALL LIGHTS! I've been told you will see nothing
for a long time if your car is running, or if you have a flashlight on.
2. Kids like to party on Hansell Road sometimes,
so it's watched by the police occasionally. I ran into aan officer, and
before I even got a chance to tell him why we were going there, he
said," There's nothing to see on Hansell Road, It's just a place where
kids go to party. Go find a ghost somewhere else."
Good Luck and happy spook
hunting!!!!!!!!!
