Introduction

A sortie involving a moonless visit to a cemetery reputed for supernatural and threatening manifestations qualifies as a worthy nocturnal event for the boys. A condemned structure formerly serving the county as a prison for the criminally insane is deemed irresistible.

The Old Gramercy House

But highest on their list of destinations for adventure is a place that will haunt their memories forever: the old Gramercy house. Known by most students attending College Hill Elementary School, it is as a place of infamy, occupied by restless spirits who horrifyingly repel trespassers.

Rumors and Motivation

Rumors about the place motivate any normal, red-blooded, adventure-seeking country boy to be drawn past the front gate. Such was the case for Lee Farmer, Dennis Williams, and reluctantly Frank Cherry in October of 1953.
