Now I feel bad and think that sounded mean. Really, great job. You must have worked very hard on that.

Nicely done. Of all the legends and lore in St. Mary's thats one of my favorites.

Some friends and me in high school tried to find the ruins of her house...or where they used to be...but we got scared about half way back in the woods and never made it. :lol:

Such chickens!

Great presentation. I never thought of Moll Dyer as scary. I've always thought of it as a sad tale of a woman martyred by ignorance and superstition. My idea of scary is the hysteria that gripped Salem in 1692.

:yeahthat: I went to Salem this year with my sister. It is a beautiful city and was very interesting learning more about the witch trials. "Hysteria" is a good term to use to describe the whole episode. I found it interesting a lot of historians believe the accusations leveled by the young girls started out as a way to relieve the boredom of their lives and escalated from there. :ohwell:

Truth is stranger then fiction. I love this type of stuff. I totally agree that Moll Dyer was probably just a poor old hermit and a victim of the times in which she lived.

I sure wish folks would of taken better care of the "handprint" rock... when we first moved to this county back in the 70s, the handprints were much more recognizable then they are today. :ohwell:

I often wondered why they leave it out in the weather like that.

So where is the rock? I thought it was at the Historical Society Building. I Went for a look today, and couldn't find it.

That was quite possibly the COOLEST thing I have ever seen! Seriously, how many more legends like that are there around here?!?!?!

I wish they had kept the rock out of the weather. When we moved to St. Mary's back in the early 70s, the hand impressions were clearly visable and very impressive. I remember looking at the rock a couple years ago and you can barely see the impressions at all now. :frown:
