Spooky York

Posted on 08/08/10 No Comments

Every town has a few dark secrets – true events that border on the macabre, whispered legends of things that go bump in the night.  Butcher has been collecting and researching these stories for many years and has led several successful “ghost walks” in downtown York and has expanded the tour to a presentation of all things dark and spooky.  The presentation combines fact and folklore, incorporating stories of Revolutionary War executions, news reports of cannibalism, accusations of witchcraft, and legends of ghostly encounters.  Scott is the co-author of the local bestseller, Spooky York, Pennsylvania.

Scott has given this presentation as part of the Second Saturday program of the York County Heritage Trust and for the Lincoln Chapter of the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers.  He has also led downtown ghost tours for Main Street York, Downtown Inc., York County Heritage Trust, Crispus Attucks Association, and Historic York.
