The house across from the paper mill

Pennsylvania · USA · Execution site

A pastor lived here at Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania. In the height of summer, icicles are said to have hung from the attic ceiling.

The account comes from a family in Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania and concerns a house that once stood across from the paper mill.

A pastor lived in it. The story told in the family is that he was not what he appeared to be, and that a grandmother went into the empty house on a suspicion and found vials and a book on witchcraft upstairs in the attic.

The detail that has kept the story alive is the temperature. In the middle of summer, with the outside temperature close to a hundred, icicles were said to hang from the ceiling of that attic.

None of this is documented and the man is not named. Accusations of devil worship against clergy were common currency in rural Pennsylvania in the twentieth century and almost never had anything behind them. What survives is a family story about a cold room.
