" IT's SPOOKY "

As the brisk chilly Fall wind ripped off the yellowing leaves from the woodland trees and created a storm of swirling foliage around the edge of the trail, I had a sense of foreboding and a chill shot up my spine, colder than a winters night. I sensed that I was being watched. I have walked the "Bellows Pipe Trail" many times to the little farm homestead sitting beside the trail, now nothing more than a indent in the earth where once stood the cabin. The well worn flat rock used for the stoop is still there, showing signs that this place was indeed inhabited by a family. The orchard that once was tended by the people is still there, though it has long since gone wild, and the small field where they grew their sustenance for the long winters on Greylock Mountain can be just barely seen now.
I can't seem to shake off the feeling that someone is watching me. I look around again and there isn't anyone there, only a few scurrying squirrels gathering up the last remaining acorns for their winter cache. Waite a minute?..........What's that? .........There!.....Standing in the mist of the small wild orchard!..........There,.....see HIM?.......Could it be?..........Could this be the "OLD Saunders Farm?"..........And could that be.. ...be.....be....."Bill SAUNDERS?.......Better known to us as.......... "OLD COOT"
That was a true account by me, given under hypnosis ,while hooked up to a lie detector in 1996. The Farm is real and you can go check it out for yourselves. You can even see the ruts in the bedrock made by wagons traveling the trail over time. But be cautious..........You just may encounter something that is NOT of this world!
I hope this year the local newspaper will, as they have NOT done in a long time, inform the people with a REAL news worthy story about what they may encounter while hiking "The Bellows Pipe" this Halloween Season.
