It is believed that in the 1800s a misfortune had struck a young couple who were just married and were heading back home after their wedding in a horse buggy.

On the way a small wild animal rushed out of the forest scaring the horses. As a resulted the buggy turned off the road and fell into the creek. The young bride broke her neck and died and the unfortunate groom who was pinned under a lame horse slowly died next to his newly wedded bride.

Local people say that on dark nights a fog appears on the road from the creek and you can hear a horse buggy approaching in speed but before it reaches one can hear a crash and a scream. After this everything becomes silent once again and the mist vanishes away. No wonder this creek is termed to be one of the most haunted places in Pennsylvania.
