THIS SERIES IS RETIRED.
THE STORY:
The legend of the Headless Horseman begins in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The Horseman was a Hessian soldier of unknown rank; one of many such hired to suppress the American Revolutionary War. During the war, the Horseman was one of 548 Hessians killed in a battle for Chatterton Hill, where his head was severed by a cannonball. He was buried in a graveyard outside a church. Now he appears as a ghost, who presents nightly travelers an actual danger of decapitation.
DIRECTIONS:
Full Moon Graveyard Haunt – “Heads Will Roll” series is located in the Mt. Hope Cemetery, Urbana, IL. To enter the cemetery you must be heading West on Florida Ave. Please be reverent and respectful of those who are laid to rest there.
Tools:
A flashlight and a whistle in case of emergency.You never know what is lurking around a cemetery, ehhhhhh???? Gloves to handle the boxes. NOTE: I was about to plant a box, but the hole looked too deep, in closer inspection, the eyes of an Opossum stared up at me, so I sure didn’t plant one there. I didn’t encounter another critter, but doesn’t mean they aren’t there. Make sure you know the cemetery hours….you would hate to be locked in, eh?
Stamp in each HEAD high on your page. When you find the Headless Horseman, stamp him under the correct head.….. you will get a mini-box clue that tells you which head is his….I mean you have never seen him before HAaaVE YOUuuu….ieeee. “
Colors:
Red, blue, green, yellow, orange and black will bring out the dreaded, ghoulish looking heads.
Sorry NO ROOM for hitchhikers.
CLUES:
You are a Rookie Cop. This is your first assignment. Recently, murders by decapitation have been reported and your Captain has sent You to investigate. It is a dark and stormy night in this strange eerie cemetery. As you enter Mt. Hope’s entrance at the sign off of Florida Ave….you suddenly hear nothing…. a blanket of strange silence…no crickets, no frogs, no sounds as you make the first RIGHT after entering the cemetery. The paved road turns into a “tire road”. Your Captain has given you orders to meet with the CRYPT KEEPER after that you are on your own. IEEEE!!!.
Crypt Keeper Box #1 Drive slowly and quietly down the road until you see a very large grave stone on the left with a vase on top. You will pass the home of J. Lindley, make a RIGHT at the tree and follow the road passing Busey Savage and Rising, Julia M, wife of AC Byerly….then at the big bush in the middle of intersecting tire roads you will turn RIGHT onto a paved road and pass the large cross of Bartholow, then past Skinner, Thomas J. Smith, Bagley and finally STOP at the stairs leading to the Spalding & Murray Mausoleum. The Mausoleum is occupied by Spalding and Murray 1919. You need to interview Spalding’s ghost to find the CRYPT KEEPER. You doooo believe in ghosts, eeeeeh? You introduce yourself to Mr. Spalding and ask if he knows where the CRYPT KEEPER lives. Mr. Spalding says….”Sonny, did you know that when I was born Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, died in his sleep at the age of 60, an act of the United States Congress established most of the Grand Canyon as a United States National Park, several large bombs placed in eight cities were intercepted and several mail bombs were sent to prominent figures as part of the 1919 United States anarchist bombings, the Treaty of Versailles is signed, ending World War I, President of the United States Woodrow Wilson suffers a serious stroke, rendering him an invalid through the end of his life - in 1924, Prohibition in the United States is authorized…. and…..”
You politely interrupt Mr. Spalding…sorry I don’t have time to spare. I need to find the CRYPT KEEPER to interview him about the Four Murders here in the cemetery and stop the killer. “Oh”, he says, “Why didn’t you say so, sonny? The CRYPT KEEPER is my neighbor…he lives behind me in a big tree near my North East Corner in a ground crevice on the SOUTH side covered in bark and leaves and a small cement cylinder rock. Be careful though, Sonny, he is a little strange.” You had better look around first and give a little knock before you enter.”
Box #2 You drive past Lindsey and stop at Nisida. A popping noise is coming from the tree across from Nisida on the south side of the tree. You stop to investigate. It seems the head’s eyes are popping in and out….maybe trying to pop out…..Yuckie Poo. You grab the slimy Eye Popping head and go on until you hear that demontic LAUGHING. Your hair on the back of your neck stands up and the wind whispers...”You’ll be next. You’ll be next. Hold on to your head!!!!!
Box #3 In the blackness of the night, it starts to rain punctuated with flashes of thunder. But you can smell putrid rotting flesh twisting your already heightened sense of fear into a full blown anxiety attack. The rotting flesh odor is overpowering, threatening danger and a bloody death by a thirsty killer, yet it draws you forward along the road past Finrock, Merlow, Austin and Nogle going straight at intersection, turn right at next intersection and pass Dehmke (on the right) and Hill, Boner (on the left)…. all the way around to the Mittendorf Funeral Home and on past a biggish rock (on your right). It keeps you going straight past Burnham’s tower grave stone, past Walker ,Cheever, straight at the log grave (on the right), past Somers, but stop at Opperman 1891 and take a left, go past Osborne... When you get to Deem on the left, Stop. Deem, Elmer P 1876 -1964 with wife Clida M 1872-1957, the smell is so atrociously sour and obtrusive to your senses your eyes start to water. The Deems’ ghosts are waiting for you. HOW DID THEY KNOW??? IEEEEE “Good Evening, Elmer, says…..Did you know that the year I was born…..The Battle of the Little Bighorn, Custer’s Last Stand, First telephone was patented by Alexander Graham Bell, Nikolaus August Otto builds the first practical four-stroke cycle Internal Combustion Engine, and Great Sioux War Of 1876 – 1877 began? That’s very interesting, but I am investigating four murders and this horrid smell brought me to you. Do you know anything about it? “Why yes, Elmer says….one of the heads just rolled over to that tree NORTH of us in a crevice covered in mulch on the south side of the tree.” OMG, I have to put that thing in my box…..oooooo you shiver violently….and then you hear that laugh….that horrible loud laughing in your ears. The hairs on your neck rise again!!! Elmer yells, “Watch out for your Head, Sonny!”
Box #4 (Missing) The rain finally stops….you are wet, soggy, and wanting to go HOME right now. But the Captain would fire you if you did. You wander on down the road and at Hess Pugh, you make a right onto paved road, past Crathorne, going past four pillars (on your left), Beaseley, Jervis, Baker and go straight across the paved road onto a “tire track” road, past Arthur E Wade, Righter, Eichhearst, Walton, then turn right at the intersection at Busey Savage, pass two log graves (on the left). You slow down as you see a bright light. OMG is it the Horseman?…IEEEE!!!! You hold onto your neck again!!! A bright STAR is on your left…belonging to WEC Hoffcut, August 2, 1863 – March 2, 1896. The brightness is so blinding you didn’t see Mr. Hoffcut standing next to you and when he speaks, you JUMP a mile out of your skin. “Hi there Mister….Did you know in 1863 ….The Emancipation Proclamation was made by Abraham Lincoln on January 1st, 1863 and The Battle of Gettysburg was an important battle in the war in 1863, with Lee's invasion of a northern state (from Maryland to Pennsylvania). Some 23,000 Union soldiers and over 20,000 Confederate ones that were killed by the end of the third day.” “Thanks” you say, and wondered why you were getting all these history lessons. Say, Mr. Hoffcut, have you seen any heads rolling around here? “Sure Mister, I saw one roll in the ground roots under the tree East of me across the road on the west side of the tree.” “Thanks, Mr. Hoffcut and when you pick up this head it grosses you out so bad you start vomiting” Then you hear it again…the laughing…Chilling LAUGHING in your ears. I’M COMING.. Goosebumps rise in unison on your already prickled skin. IEEEE!!!
Box #5 Honk-honk, Honk-honk…Hmmmm it sounds like a bicycle horn. You look around…who would be riding a bicycle in a cemetery on a night like this. As it’s ever more quiet sounds draw you down the road and you make a right at Quayle, past Willis, Maxwell and then stop at Derrough. Out of the corner of your eye, you see it, but before you can run after it, Mr. Derrough yells “HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE MISTER, CAN’T YOU SEE I AM TRYING TO REST?” Well Mr. Derrough, I am looking for the Headless Horseman’s head. “Bloody Good Job” he says…by the way did you know that the year I was born Michigan become the 26th state, and Native American Cherokee Indians are marched from their homelands in Georgia, the Carolinas and Eastern Tennessee to the new Indian territory (present day Oklahoma) in the Western United States, (Indian Removal Act of 1830) during the forced march 4,000 of the 15,000 Cherokee Indians died during the march. The Trail of Tears. The Cherokee were the last of Indian Tribes to be moved which included Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee-Creek, Seminole and Cherokee. With the removal of the tribes 25 million acres became available for settlement by white settlers. OMG…do I have to go through this every time I meet a ghost….but you were polite and said “Thanks Mr. Derrough” And out of the corner of your eye, you see the head moving again…HONK HONK….it moves in the big tree West across from Derrough on the east side in a crevice covered by bark. You follow the sound…and it makes you LAUGH out loud…..so funny…well except for those very sharp TEETH. Ooops…now you are in trouble….REAL TROUBLE….You hear LAUGHING, Evil LOUD LAUGHING…it’s closer now. MUCH MUCH closer. IEEEEE!!!!
Box #6 Clumpity, Clump …The sound takes your eyes to a head rolling down the road past Weeks (on the right), as you stop at Columbia it draws you left down the “tire track” road past Hedges and left again at Stoltey (on the right) and Wallace (on your left) and then left again at Samuels onto the paved road, past Krows. The head rolls to a stop at the gravestone on the left that looks like a tall vase. You get out and try to grab it, but it bites your hand and jumps to the ground and begins rolling again. You look at your bloody hand. LAUGHING…MORE grotesque LAUGHING….HMMMM I SMELL YOUR BLOOD NOW HUMAN. IEEEEE!!! The head rolls to Hellyer and stops again turns back and jeers at you…..”a head with an attitude…that’s all I need” you think….and it rolls across the “tire track” road and to the tree at the corner and get’s stuck in a small ground cave on the West side of the tree. GOT YA…ya little creep.
The Answer box:(Missing) LOUDER AND LOUDER THE EVIL LAUGHING echoes in your ears. Going forward you see…..OMG, who turned out the lights….complete darkness, no moon, no stars….with the only light is shining from your flashlight. You shine your flashlight stumbling along down the road, humming to yourself to keep up your courage. Suddenly, you eye is caught by a light rising from the last largish really old rectangular monument on the left with an old white gravestone sitting on top with the name of "Elizabeth" just before the exit. You stop, heart pounding in fear. Before your startled eyes, a white mist burst forth from the unmarked monument and forms into a large horse carrying a headless rider. You let out a horrific scream as the horse leaps toward you at full gallop.IEEEEE!! You take to your heels and run as fast as your poor heart can take you, making a wide dash for the tree just north of the monument since you know that evil spirits and ghost do not see trees. You stand there shaking and hugging the tree with all your strength to become one with it as the horse gallops past you….and then your eye happens to look down between the tree and a stone with Father on it. (The mini-box (no logbook) will give you the only answer to saving the human race....mini-box is now missing...the answer is "PUMPKIN".
Box #7 When you have the answer, you must go back to the really old largish rectangular monument with the "Elizabeth" gravestone on top and retrieve the headless horseman and attach him to the correct head.
You tip toe to the monument smelling the pungent blood left behind from his dripping saber. The odor leads you to the East side of the monument. Facing West looking at the East side of the huge rectangular monument with a gravestone on top with "Elizabeth". Between the "Wilkins" graves and Elizabeth monument" is a very small "Father" gravestone sitting only 6 inches from the Elizabeth monument. Between the Father gravestone and the Elizabeth Monument, under a rock, you will find the Headless Horseman. You start hearing the laughing and then the clipity clop of hooves...hurry, he’s coming back!!!! QUICK.....attach him to the correct head or YOURS WILL BE HISTORY…mmmmmm?
IN CONCLUSION: HAVE FUN!!! “Please, please rehide and reseal carefully. I realize these are small boxes and the air has to be squeezed out of the bags for all to fit. Be aware that it takes me a long time to carve, make books, buy boxes and paint them, hide them and then make the clues. It ceases to be fun for me when I have to replace them often because of not hiding and resealing properly. Thank you for your cooperation When working as a group, please have the one who took the box, put the box back...as he/she is the only one who knows where they should return it to exactly."
