lovers leap hauntings

Anyone know about any ghost sightings in the hollow below Lovers Leap off Lovers Leap Rd. near Smithfield?

I have heard lots of stories of local lore, but none to "The Leap". I will say though that it has been recognized as "Lover's Leap" since colonial Days. Ever hear about the Fallen Timbers Ghost?

I will check it out when I move home in two months. The land below the leap is part of my partents farm.

I think I also read somerwhere that there was a lady that lived down there who was left alone by the local indians. It may have been the Ellis Book but I can not remember. All cool stuff if your into local ghost stories!

Does that make you a Jasek?

No. I am not a Jasek. Are you thinking of Mrs. Jessick that lived at the end of Blaney Hollow Road (before it had a name) at Larmen Mill Road?

I heard that two teenagers fled home because they couldn't be together and they jumped to their deaths over the leap. However, even though it is spooky at night, which just about everything is, I don't think its haunted

The same story is told about the Lover's leap In VA...

I'll have to look for the quote in the old book I mentioned. I agree it's a spooky place!

hopefully someone cleaned up all the garbage around there

OK guys and girls here is the story I got The road is haunted at where the bridge is there was a few friends that seen a guy walk back and forth the bridge but the leap is haunted as well there was 2 deathes at the leap that I know two boy's fell over there they was having a party and fell off the cliff thats ture I know thats a fact but I heard how it got its name is from the indians they was from two tribes and loved each other but couldn't be togeather to they jumped off the cliff thats abou 250 feet to 300 feet I lived in the area for 19 years and from what I seen and heard I'd say it's haunted

We talkin about the same place? The cliff I know was only about 75FT? this was above the bridge (Up the Road) crossing George's Creek on the opposite side of the creek from the old Sylvan Mills Complex (Also known as Larmann's or Hunter's Mills). BTW I also have heard the Indian tale about it. Wanted to also bump my earlier question whether or not anyone heard of the "Fallen Timbers Ghost" supposedly a man in colonial garb has been seen walking down the Fallen Timbers Road.

that cliff is higher then 75feet if you go below the road you will see i been down in there it is the same place i never heard of the fallen timbers ghost and i use to walk that road and ride dirtbikes down there all the time.

Won't argue with you Josh - Been at least 10 Yrs since I looked over the edge!

Well i don`t no what you are talking about but i have felt a ghost ill tell you.
I was at church i was sitting next to this big long thing that hold`s something (don`t realy no what it is for) and i was sitting next to my mum.
Next i felt something tap me lightly on the right sholder.
I was not my mum because then she wood of tell me something.
I looked around and people where qwite fure from me and why wood they wanna talk to me (gigles).
So there you have it!

I live now in Shelton WA and am looking to go and hunt around for haunted or supposedly haunted locations around the area. I am not too familiar with where things are but I live off hwy 3. Give me some clues as to where to go? I've been known to sense things and am curious as I've been in NM down in Old Town and picked up somethings on my digital and sensed things to where others could take pictures also. Looking forward to hearing from you guys on this :)

i agree it is scary at night

Looking for ghosts You're from Shelton? So am I.
We are talking about Southwestern PA; are you familiar with the area???

Yes, I do live in Shelton out about 5 miles from town. We've had a few things around our house happening, something mimicking my children, rumors of an old graveyard with only two headstones left off of Johns Prarie Road has peaked my interestas well as the old buildings and first homes in Shelton back when John Shelton came into the area and interacted with the local Native Americans. Not to make anyone sound like quacks but I sense things at times and there is just something around this town and area.
Not familiar with Southwestern PA, unfortunately I have never been past Missouri where I have family.
Just wanna be able to go out and do some research of the area and "urban legends" :)

Me and my cousins are looking for places to go ghost hunting at!!! we were in a graveyard talking to spirits last night 3-9-09 we were at a grave yard off falling timbers rd on crow rd and we were talking to a barbara crow and we recorded our conversation and you can here a lite wisper on the recorder say crow!!! and we make it clear to every1 no whispering at all and it just freaked me out...But we went to lovers leap and we were on the bridge we seen a figure at the end of the bridge so we ran back to the jeep and went up to lovers leap we heard a woman screaming down at the bridge....and im sorry but we wasnt going back to see what was going on!!
