perfectly parallel to the ground. It is said that the tree was used to
hang slaves on and still has a chilling aura to it. You can see marks
on the trunk from people attempting to chop it down, they say whoever
tries, something bad happens to and sometimes a pickup truck will try
to chase you out. In the Summer that tree is in full bloom and actually
quite lovely. In the Winter or Fall however, it is creepy looking. The
axe marks on the tree are from years of kids hearing the legend of the
tree and what would happen if you tried to cut it down. Supposedly if

all the time. Please get permission before you

another fire in 1992 which destroyed the school for good. An "official"
closing date has not yet been found. Several have claimed that in one
of the classrooms on the second floor, the black boards were covered
with drawings of children crying and burning. Another local legend is
that of "Buckeye". There are actually two versions of this story, but
with the same basic back-story. There was a championship football game
between Lambertville and New Hope (PA). An intense game was going on.
During a normal play, one of the New Hope Buckeyes was tackled to the
ground. When all the players got up, this boy was left lying still on
the grass. Because of this tragedy, the parents of the New Hope
students had football removed form the schools extra-curricular
activities. Urban legend #1- You are to stand on the
landing between the first and second floors, just inside the front
doors, and say out loud "I challenge Billy (or Buckeye, depending on
who you ask) to a football game!" Then, out of nowhere, a football is
supposed to fly straight at your head, breaking your neck. Urban
Legend #2- While on the football field, located somewhere further
up the hill, one is supposed to say out loud "Buckeye, I challenge you
to a race!" A wind blows in, then either a mist arises or a pair of
glowing, red eyes appear at one end of the field. A voice is heard
saying, "Run to the other end of the field or die!" It was rebuilt then
abandoned in the 1950's due to zoning issues. Kids are known to commit
suicide from the third story gym windows. Reports of free floating
apparitions, cold spots, and sounds heard by the EVPs. Also documented
in pictures taken were ectoplasm like clouds and apparitions in 3rd

building down in the very near future.WARNING: if you go there

New Monmauth - Shelly Drive - During
the Revolutionary War the woods that once stood where now stands a
housing sub-division, with the street name of Shelly Drive, provided
cover and refuge to many troops of both sides of the American conflict.
It has long been said that where the street Shelly Drive ends into a
new sub-division there was a horrible battle between Patriots and
British troops. So Bloody and horrific was this Battle that scores of
troops from both sides were killed. One particularly poor soul was that
of a boy named William Champlain who fought on the side of the Patriots
but was a spy for the British. When it was discovered by Washington's
troops that Champlain was a spy they did not let on to him that he was
compromised. At the start of the battle it was relayed to the troops by
Washington himself that Champlain should be shot from behind to let the
British know that his traitorous dealings didn't deserve a bullet from
the firing squad. Upon the start of the Battle Champlain moved to the
front of the line to get a better shot he was heard to say, and before
the first volley of shots were exchanged between side's he was dropped
in his stride from a volley of shot's from five patriot's. It has long
been said that the spirit of William Champlain Haunt's the sub-division
in search of Washington in the hopes of finding out why he was struck
down by his own troops. Being only a boy of 17 at the time of his
demise and fond of the flute he has been heard many a fall night
playing sad ballads and tunes in search of his mentor. So if you are
walking or driving down Shelly Drive one evening and see a young lad
dressed in Colonial attire don't be alarmed it is only William
Champlain looking for his troops bivouac, and the reason for his
betrayal.
