Newark Shelley Butler can you point James Babcock in the right direction? ReplyShare3h Brad Smith You might check the “Bush camp” on Bryant Hollow.

Coudersport is where the original settlement was. Check google books for history of the family in the area, the stone may be exactly where it belongs. ReplyShare1h Shirley Willard Someone I knew had a old stone on there property that said Baby on it and was the last step coming out the back door.

ReplyShare36m Leslie Beebe Seidel Mark where you found it incase that is where it belongs. ReplyShare1h Lisa Lewars-Gauby Wow,that's crazy ReplyShare1h Lori Szewczyk RELATED MAYBE? ---- There’s a cemetery in Potter County, the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds Dark Skies. Truth be told, there are many cemeteries, but this one special. This cemetery is found near the line between Roulette and Clara townships, along Fishing Creek Road. It’s called the Fishing Creek or Durward Cemetery. It’s nothing special. You’d never notice it driving past. Most of the time. The ghost though, that’ll stop you in your tracks. You’ll find tell of this here ghost in Robert Lyman’s book, “Amazing Indeed: Strange Events In The Black Forest.” Locals say that stretch of road is haunted by the ghost of a soldier, a soldiers who, from beyond the grave, is still trying to preserve his boots. Not that he has much use for them. This is no tall tale. We’ve all heard those stories of ghosts: the young girl who hitches a ride with four young men on their way to a dance, borrows a jacket because she’s cold and asks to be dropped off along an empty stretch of highway. You know how that one ends. The next morning the group go to retrieve their jacket only to learn from an old woman in a nearby house that the young girl, usually bearing a common name like Mary or Sarah, died many years earlier. A visit to the cemetery allows the young man to retrieve his jacket, neatly folded atop a headstone bearing her name. But this is a different tale. This one has a history that actually existed, whether or not you believe his spirit still walks the earth. Amandon Baker was born in 1832 across the border from Potter County in neighboring Andover, N.Y. In 1864 around age 30 or so, he mustered into the Civil War, joining his fellow soldiers in Company I, 16th New York Cavalry Regiment. On June 5, 1865, the battles now fought, the war won, Baker left the military and returned home. Somehow or another, he found his way to Roulette in Potter County, where he died at age 57 on Nov. 9, 1889. His remains were buried in the Durward Cemetery. But, according to sources, they didn’t stay there long. About a year after his death, 1890, the first story of his sighting is documented. A local man by the name of Willis Tauscher, aged 35, was walking along the road one night near the cemetery. Ahead he saw a man, walking while carrying a pair of boots. Tauscher called out to the man, but got no response. Ahead of him, the man walked on, giving no indication he noticed anything or anyone else. Suddenly, he turned abruptly, walked into the cemetery, strolled to a grave and - disappeared! It was then that Tauscher realized he recognized the man. It was Amandon Baker. More and more people came forward after that to report witnessing the ghost of Amandon Baker. Each report was eerily similar: he was walking near the cemetery and carrying that pair of boots. Truth be know, the boots were what gave away his identity. Back during the War Between the States, shoes and boots were expensive, difficult to find and important to the men serving in the military. Soldiers attempted to make a pair last as long as possible, even going to the extreme of removing their boots and carrying them during a march between fighting points. After his time in the service, Amandon continued to wear leather boots. Long after the war ended and Amandon found himself home, those habits remained. He was often seen carrying his booths around. That habit continued to remain even into the afterlife. No one recorded the thoughts of how Amondon’s wife, Melinda, felt to learn her husband continued to walk the earth. Nor did anyone think to ask his 11 children, all who were living nearby. Melinda joined her husband in the afterworld in 1892. It’s been more than 130 years since Amondon Baker died, yet his story lives on. Under the dark skies of Potter County, be watchful. Maybe you’ll see him walking along that same dark country road, still carrying his boots, as he returns to the grave. -Tioga Publishing ReplyShare2h Vince Locilento Lori Szewczyk I was never one who believed in ghosts, but my ex-wife had one follow her from her childhood home to our home. I saw her next to our bed twice. One early morning her daughter was in the craw basement behind the closet in her bedroom with the light on and a table set up with tea cups. When I found her at 3:00 am and asked her what she was doing she said “having tea with my friend Vinny”. Scared the bejesus out of me. So yes I’m a believer now.
