Broad Mountain, Schuylkill County
In 1925, two hikers tramping up Broad Mountain made a gruesome discovery. Under a circle of crows lay the partially burned body of a young woman. Her skull was fractured and her body cut up. Her identity was never found, nor was her killer ever brought to justice. It's said that you can still see her ghost, shadowy and translucent, floating in circles between the towns of Gordon and Hecksherville searching for her murderer. It's also been reported that she's been spotted walking on the local lake. This Schuylkill tale is part of Charles Adams III book Coal Country Ghost Legends and Lore.
