Ghost stories

. Legendary stories... Maintain that the old, all but abandoned cemetery, northeast of town is haunted. Futhermore, there is a special grouping of graves enclosed within an iron fencing out there. ...

According to the local lore, if you dare step inside of that iron gating and offend the spirits resting there... Bad stuff will happen to you.
. Back in the 1970s some Highschool boys were rumored to have braved the test and before the turn of the year was through, tragedy had in deed struck. All three were involved in a horrible accident out on the country roads.
. Tempting fate once more, they'd begun a game of ditch 'em, with some boys from Indianola (the next little village, east of here).
The Indianola kids got home fine and never knew, until the next day or so, that the game had gone deadly for their unlucky rivals!
. There'd been a hair-pin turn, you see, and the McCook boys weren't prepared for it. Fishtailing and wide-eyed, no doubt, at the very last, on that graveled road. They missed the turn completely and burrowed their hot rodding car into an embankment. Death was immediate for the front passenger. The driver, somehow impaled within the wreckage, slowly bled to death as his back seat buddy tried to come to terms with his own shock and pain, all the while keeping up the chatter and hope that help would find them soon. Imagine how he felt, when his buddy, the driver of the car - could no longer answer him... Hurt, scared, alone and in the dark with 2 dead companions...
He was weeks in the hospital - not expected to live, but live he did, suffering a pronounced limp and walking with a cane through the halls of the Highschool and into the rest of his life.
.
. Our Legend has it that the dead passenger was first to hop the fence with the driver quickly following and the boy who would forever limp,(?) - he only stuck one leg over the line.

Beware and be respectful of the dead!
Especially out at old, Box Elder!
