Pennsylvania Oddities Volume 4

Scores of criminals have paid for their crimes in Pennsylvania's electric chair, but have you ever wondered about the secret life of the man who pulls the switch? Was witchcraft responsible for the death of a Schuylkill County farmer in 1911? What dark secrets lurk behind the walls of the Ephrata Cloister? Was little Mary Newlin buried alive by her stepfather? Did the appearance of a phantom locomotive foretell a Cambria County railroading disaster? From Erie to Philadelphia, and all points in between, the Keystone State is every bit as mysterious as it is historic. In Pennsylvania Oddities, Vol. 4, author Marlin Bressi explores 22 more true tales of the mysterious and macabre.
