Was just flicking the channels and landed on Channel 9's Chronicle. Fritz was talking about Ossipee and was standing in the middle of one of OVSC's junctions at Polly's Crossing! He also talked about another local landmark, Archer's Pond. Guess back in the 1800s there was a lot of scourge and plague troubling the Ossipee area (as if that is not true today ).

I think it was a repeat, Fritz wasn't drooling as heavy on camera as he does now..... :sad:

That's a cool area out there. I've been out there on my sled and in a pickup truck. The cellar holes are pretty cool. They say you can see the light of "lanterns" out there at night, I assume from the spirits of those who dies from the plague. I actually read a story on the "Ghosts of Polly's crossing".

There's "things" out there in the woods. Many locals insist real live creatures exist out behind the pond on the hills. One night a group of locals went out to disprove the legends. They parked on the bridge (no longer there) @ the pond. The car was shaken so bad by something they hi-tailed it out and they would never go back. This was prolly back in the 40s-50s. My dad insists he has heard ungodly screaming out there at night. He used to fish for horned pout (catfish) @ night there with his pal Dewy...Dad never scared easy. He has some stories besides these. I'll ask him.

Gee,,, talk about mountain stories....I was told many years ago ( late 60's )about the " "H" Man ". May sound like it could be him, best place to tell it is at the "Old Shag" camp between Mt. Chouchra and Mt. Passaconaway...(Middle of nowhere)...

They say Pollys crossing was named after the young girl who got hit by the train there, correct?

Spend a day on a work crew with your snowmobile club. You'll meet some real wackos (an experience not to be missed) and you'll sure to do it again just out of a sick sense of curiousity!
High performance motor sports and booze don't mix. Nascar drivers drink Coke NOT RUM AND COKE. Over every hill and around every corner is a Mom and Dad, Grand parents and little kids trying to learn the sport. Ride accordingly. RIDE RIGHT! Pay Attention out there!
