The Legend of Moll Dyer

[Pandora]

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.

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.

At least you are rather consistent in that opinion.

Every time I see the old county jail, I think of Otis, in Mayberry.

Kool,

You really could have left that last part out of the video.

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.

Then how do you explain the hand print?

So in relation to the Historical Society Building, where is the "old county jail"?

Or you were just more impressionable. I can't believe that a handprint on a rock that was out in the weather for 300 years has suddenly rapidly deteriorated in the last 30. Why does no one have a picture of this? BS Gal has a new mission other than tormenting people tomorrow. Get a pic of the rock.




Anyone want to hide behind it and jump out ?

I was at a book signing last night with the author of a book about Moll Dyer and saw the rock at the old jail. Sad story!
