A very early Bluffton Halloween story

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 20, 2009 - 12:34pm

With Halloween on the horizon, let's hear your best Bluffton Halloween story.

While this isn't my most frightening, it's still a good one. Before you say, "Well, that's just an urban legend," remember that this story took place before the term urban existed. Concerning a time line, we're talking 1870s. So, it makes this one the oldest known Bluffton Halloween-type stories. I have no doubt that this really happened.

It was told to me by "Link" Hauenstein (I never knew him by any other name) circa 1978.
