Tuesday, November 04, 2003Cross-Carrier Chuck and the Organ That Will Eat Your Soul
Halloween may be long gone but that's no excuse to put off a peak at the Midnight Society's website. The society consists of a group of New Jerseyites that spend their free time taking pictures in abandoned locales around the Garden State. It should go without saying that Jersey has some of the most interesting haunted places in the world.
Among the more interesting locations listed in the site's exhaustive archive is a section devoted to the Organ House. According to legend, the house was owned by musician that one day decided to brutally slaughter his family. Their spirits still reside in the house along with a wall mounted organ. If a visitor plays the instrument, the ghosts will materialize upstairs. What the author discovered after hitting the keys is hair-raising, if unbelievable. The site also includes a section devoted to strange "local celebrities." One, Cross-Carrier Chuck, is an evangelist that wanders America totting a cross on wheels. According to the Midnight Society, he's cleared 22,000 miles over the years. On foot. Have a looksy, why don't you?
