Not sure if it was a suicide or accident; but the local police suggested the creature was seen specifically after the death.Nick Redfernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199813303416083671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1506281296395130636.post-21134373332974154192009-09-20T15:24:58.774-07:002009-09-20T15:24:58.774-07:00As I was looking at this, a weird bit of the synch...As I was looking at this, a weird bit of the synchronicity type things written about in The Rebirth of Pan and bits of Coleman's Mysterious America - how certain names pop up again and again in Fortean context - hit me. Here in Pennsylvania, we also have a Union Canal (in Reading). The canal is the site of some weirdness, as well. At least two notable ghost stories I can think of originate from that area. Isn't the ghost story associated with Man-Monkey something about a suicide? It's also a weird bit of synchronicity that THIS Union Canal was site of a notable suicide/triple murder...Andrew D.
