I live in a few towns away from this location, and I run with a volunteer fire company out of an area located near this. I wasnt along on this specific trip, but it's very often we get search and rescue calls and Hawk Mountain. People go hiking, lose track of time, and get lost in the dark. One of the men went in on this day to fetch a family who got lost in the dark. He's a pretty average straightforward hard-working guy, he doesn't read into any sort of ghost story or anything like that. When he walked in two men approached him, and it was dark. But he could have swore one of them was wearing Civil War soldier garb. He asked the two men where the people were, to which they both pointed in the same direction. He thanked the men and then they walk past him towards the exit. The way they pointed was correct, we retrieve the patients and exited. When he came out he asked the other firefighters were the two men went and if the one was really wearing Civil War garb. They told him no men walked out of the forest. And they were waiting by the exit at watching the whole time. Anytime someone tries to ask him about this he refuses to talk about it.
Hard to believe anyone would live in that old tavern, especially if it’s haunted. Really creepy story And you’re a good storyteller so I bet you’re a good teacher. Thanks for sharing.
Wandering Woodsman: Your dry humor cracks me up. I love this area of Pennsylvania. Hawk Mountain is so peaceful. It's the perfect place to go for a day hike in nice weather.
Cliff is a unique vlogger who gets out and energetically takes us up and down trails, into caves, to points of interest and immerses us in all things nature. I don't know anyone yet who does it better. He is experienced and knowledgeable. This is a site unlike anyone I've seen so far on YT. We are lucky to have a guy like this willing to go to the trouble.
Matthias Schaumboch was the name. There are many mutilations of the spelling but his name does not have an "er" at the end. His gravestone did not go missing. At one point the stone was damaged and replaced but it attracted too many unwanted visitors so the replacement stone was intentionally removed decades ago. His grave is all the way up in the far corner at the top of the hill. There is a legend that if you step on his grave you will suffer a leg injury shortly thereafter. I don't subscribe to those sorts of stories but both my Wife and I ventured up there separately one day and both of us ended up with ankle or knee injuries in the next few days afterward. So there's that for what it's worth. Thanks for the efforts you put into these videos. I've discovered many new places to photograph because of your channel.
Gregg Obst his grave isn’t at the top of the hill it’s at the bottom in the first row of the old section (right across from the small parking lot by the building the boy scouts use)
Whoa! Hawk Mountain! Dude, I was there at least 3 - 4 times a year with my dad back in the 50s and 60s. In those days we parked along side the road and all that was there was a sign indicating the entrance to the hiking trail. We loved hiking to the top, looking at the huge block of limestone near the observation outcrop of rocks. They used to have a placard on that limestone which indicated that was the remains of ancient sealife, like shell fish, clams etc. This indicated that at one time that entire mountain had been under about 300 feet of water! The last time I was there was in 1968, with my Dad. So many memories you brought back to me. Thanks!
Dear Rebecca, I have a weekend place on Pine Swamp road and I'm very interested in the Gerhart/Reichelderfer Indian massacre, would you happen to Know the Location it took place. Was it on the new land (Bolich) farm that the PA game commision purchased last year??
@@phoenix1964 I'm not sure to be honest, but the Kempton historical society would have more information, and local artist Jon Bond is very knowledgeable 👍
You are the best creepy story teller ever, and I mean that in the best way possible! You def need your own series on Netflix...taking you all around the country to graveyards, historical sites, haunted houses, whatever! But meanwhile, we get to enjoy you on YT! LOVE your channel and your demeanor while telling these "tales" is priceless!
There is a State Park in PA called Salt Springs. Hiking trails, creek with water falls and of course the salt spring. The spring was discovered by the Indians of this area they believed that it had healing purposes. I really think that you would love this walk and the nature that surrounds you . Located near Montrose PA North of Scranton. They do have a web site with some nice pictures but no real justice to the park. A must see.
Living here in urban NY I find fascinating that he finds soo many places that he’s is pretty munch alone in. Not a sight of another human around. Gives these videos a real creepy feel
Just found this video of yours. Interesting, and creepy, story. I used to go to Hawk Mountain quite a lot. Not sure I can do the hike up to the top lookout point anymore, but it was so beautiful. Kind of sad to have that story associated with such beauty, but that's history. Thanks for sharing.
That was great , I have a large garden so spending most of my time gardening . Still waiting for you to come to England, your mum would be very welcome too .
Love your videos! This is so interesting. Btw I went yesterday to the abandoned PA turnpike tunnel and also got to explore the South PA railroad trail and culvert that you showed in your video.
i live in Greensburg Pa., Westmoreland county, we have some significant haunting sites, Bushy Run battlefield being a popular one, but i love ur channel and showing my local haunted history, local, meaning Pa.. But thank you and keep it up, u got me hooked
Just found your channel and I love it! So nice having someone from Pennsylvania to watch. I love old cemeteries to one of my most recent finds during my own travel of the state is friedens cemetery in new ringgold. I found it while Geocaching. Super old unique graves and it has this crazy steep hill that I can’t seem to fathom how they got those coffins up there in the 19th century
Mr.Woodsman, as you were talking in front of the shelter, a bright white orb shoots above the floor to your right . Thought it was worth mentioning because you said shortly after that your head was hurting . Coincidence? Who knows.
The world needs story tellers of legends and myths not just ghost busters, keep it up and do what you've been doing....you need to come up my neck of the woods we have the molly Mcguire's legend of the hand print in the old jail and gnutte hutten massacre they're some reaaly good legends and stories. ...
I also like the history of these places, there's so many interesting stories behind haunted places! But I'm like you, I wouldn't want to encounter a spirit or something. I moved away from PA 5 yrs ago, I've lived there all my life. I definitely miss it and it has a lot of stories to tell, and still has so many "off the beaten path" places to explore. Really enjoy your videos.
Thank you for the respectful treatment of the subject matter and the people now living in that building. The story about the murders at Schambacher's tavern is remarkably similar to the serial murders at a tavern located here near Coffeyville, Kansas in the late 1800s. Word spread about the happenings at the Kansas tavern and it was besieged by souvenir hunters (!) who essentially dismantled the structure and it no longer exists. I think the remaining bits of the tavern were eventually burnt down.
Thanks for the reply! Hours after watching the video I was wondering how common it was to prey on travelers. I guess it is more common than most people think. Have ever heard of the Holmes murders in Chicago around 1900 near the Columbian Exposition/World's Fair? It depends what you read about them, but Holmes did confess to/is accused of a lot of murders.
I've seen that in a movie that I believe was made back in the 60s. I believe the movie was mostly about the civil war. But there was one part in the movie where soldiers stopped at a house for food and to rest for a bit. One solider went into the barn and found confederate uniforms, apparently the faimly was killing people and dumping the bodies in a pit under the house. James Collbern was the main actor. ( not shure of the spelling of his last name). It may have been about this tavern. But this was out west somewhere. Thanks for the video enjoyed it.
A minute to live a minute to die . I think. I thought the same thing. These are called "stories" for a reason. Usually they are lies to draw in revenue. Alot of rubes out there.
@@NotOnDrugs one night a buddy of mine and I went up there and as soon as we got to the spot we would normally set up shop in we saw 6 blueish white balls of light about the size of a large beach ball towards the top of the cemetery. They were making their way down the hill moving in and out of the stones then when the got roughly half way down the hill toward us they all fanned out and went out like someone hit a light switch. I took off running up the hill to see if I could catch anyone and there was nobody to be found. We were the only ones in the cemetery. On the way back down the hill we heard a woman say “hi fellas” right next to us when nobody was there. That was my craziest night there. The most common thing we would hear up there is someone whistling kinda like a “heads up” type of whistle you would hear it in one part of the cemetery and go check it out then you’d hear it somewhere else, you’d go to that spot and then you’d hear it again somewhere else almost like it was toying with you LOL!!! After a while I noticed a pattern we would only hear it when we were there alone and more people were about to show up in the cemetery. We would go up there all the time and it was always hit or miss as far as activity goes. So nights when nothing was happening and other people showed up me and my buddy used to mess with them and scare the shit outta people LOL
Just sent a link of this to my neighbor who is involved with Hawk Mountain. Turns out she knew former resident of the tavern. I asked her if they had any "occurrences". Her response was "Many!".
Watch the British show escape to the country. UA-cam has lots of videos. Some of the houses they look at go back to the 11th and 14th century! My Irish cousins were always so jealous because in America we only had to study American history which was only 300 years, while they had to study Irish history which was thousands of years! So it's really not that old in the grand scheme of things
Shambacher was a sham! Which is a shame. Lol. Sorry couldn’t resist. Love your content, I’m a new subscriber. I definitely think you should do a cemetery series, a haunted series and maybe even a folklore series. That kind of ties in with the ghost stories and the things that become legends! Thanks!
Very interesting story. Thanks... Btw, great job on the respect for the people in that area, not much of it around anymore. Although it doesn't seem like too much respect was given to some travelers back then. 🤔
The tavern used to be the Gift Shop for Hawk Mt.(70's) and it's history was well known then. Charles Adams mentions a few other tales of "The Eck" in his books. The last Panther (Mt Lion) killed in Pa was killed up there too... Panther Spring. I think the mounted cat is in state museum in Harrisburg I do a lot of hunting + fishing up there the fog in among the hills can play tricks with you. Even "found" a tombstone in the corner of the Game Lands but never really had any "spooky" happenings..... unless you count walking into my turkey hunting spot one year in a bears footsteps and judging from the "steaming piles" he/she was far gone.
I saw that tombstone when I was hunting in the gamelands . I hunted there for 35 years. I lived to have a beer at the kempton hotel. Archie was the owner. Now that place had to b haunted
There were still mountain lions in pa in the late 90s, a bunch of us saw two in the tall weeds off of route 666 in Forest County at night while deer spotting. We (two car loads of us) saw their gold eyes shining, while lying there. My guess is they were waiting for white tail deer, as it was a little past dusk but dark already.
I'm with you I appreciate the history, Don't want to see the crazy people who deal with spirits (bible says not to entertain them) but I do enjoy the scenery and history. Thank You and I subscribed
True or not, Achambacher's Tavern would make a cool, creepy movie for Halloween! Thanks for the tag-a-long. Visiting more cemeteries would be awesome. I cross stitch and a lot of designers go to old cemeteries and make pencil rubbings of the head stones to chart for cross stitch designs. Some have cool epitaphs that get charted as well.
Thank you for sharing I have been binge-watching your videos ever since I found your channel, I very much enjoy exploring, when I was a young girl many many years ago I loved taking long walks through the woods brings back memories, you favor a guy of another channel I love to watch Exploring with Rick and Becca you two could pass for bothers have you ever seen his channel if not check it out, thank you love your content!
Have you been to Scranton pa? I lived there from 2012 to 2014...I had weird paranormal experience at several places there in Scranton pa and dunmore pa
I think the vulture was a message for you?Normally they do not sit around that way? It did not look like a healthy bird?Before you go on these visits with this kind of thing you would be wise to pray for protection from anything ungodly?
I actually been to that tavern not to close because it is being lived in. I parked where you did, it was getting dusk to almost dark. I was chased back to my car by something unknown, it was a bad feeling will not go back. Experience something similar at the Jenny Wade house not quite as bad but unusual. Left the experience on the review section of google maps. Since I was little I could always tell when there were others, I have learned to live with that, but at times there are onrs that I feel are bad. Have been to the battleground at early evenings have felt alot of feeling but never a bad one. More like they want you to be there. Maybe loneliness? The same at culps hill. But the tavern? No way. Not again.
Oic. U got a haunted pa series now. Very nice. Im from williamstown pa. Close to the boxcar rocks. I believe u did a video up here at the big lick tunnel. Maybe williamstown tunnel. U should do a video on the sunken cemetery up here. Anyway, just know this, wandering woodsman... u got a fellow wandering woodsman wandering the woods of pa. If i ever run into ya ima call u out n make u feel all famous n shit.lol
Actually in that part of the country even to this day, people know how to make sausage and to smoke Meats. Hunters make all kinds of interesting things like venison sausage, all kinds of Bologna's and Smoked Meats like goose , rabbit in pheasant. Many families have recipes that they keep within the family for these things. I recently was given a chub of Bologna that was made over local cherry wood and mulberry wood. It was amazing! Fisherman also smoked fish and make all kinds of fish cakes . Many also a foragers and collect fabulous greens for salads as well as cooked vegetables. Such are the joys of being in rural Pennsylvania
“Secrets in the sauce!” (Fried Green Tomato’s) are you sure that building that had the sign on it wasn’t the barn?? It looks like a lean that could be a “barn”? Do you know What’s the story of why it has a plaque on it?? Ps. You look like you could be cousin’s bother :)
dear friend,,can you show place where gerhard familly was murdered......where house stand in that time...if not place where is tavern build............and where is ruins of house of andreas hagenbuch.............greetings from croatia
Cool vid ... Was out by state college friday and seems to be alot of hiking and trout streams out there .. Gonna def check out in warmer days to come ..
Any chance you'll be traveling a little more west this summer? I know a cemetery were the residents were killed by Indians. There's also a grave in the woods by itself that I don't know if the people that own the land know it's there.
I would really like to see you go to dents run and do a video about the dents run gold! Im fascinated by the whole story and now recent dig.Not sure where your from but might be a hike. Im in york pa and its a little over 3hr drive but would make for a good video!!! Thanks
The Wandering Woodsman My dad told me the story when i started hunting at 12 in 1977. He even bought a metal detector and we would mess around in trout season and turkey. But know one ever knew if it was just a tall tale or not but they even sold treasure maps for tourists in the area . Only problem was my dad was about 12 miles off cause we would search sinnemahoneing which is in the next county. I have been fascinated by this story for 40 years!!! Love your vids, thanks
Gruesome is Faces Of Death movies or the video from 1975 of a British tourist getting eaten alive by lions when he was stupid and got out of the car to take a pic of them eating a zebra.You see them pulling the stomach meat off.
It's not there because someone destroyed the head stone when they wanted to see it, they want to see if anything would happen, they have be hunted since that day that they destroyed it.
I live in a few towns away from this location, and I run with a volunteer fire company out of an area located near this. I wasnt along on this specific trip, but it's very often we get search and rescue calls and Hawk Mountain. People go hiking, lose track of time, and get lost in the dark. One of the men went in on this day to fetch a family who got lost in the dark. He's a pretty average straightforward hard-working guy, he doesn't read into any sort of ghost story or anything like that. When he walked in two men approached him, and it was dark. But he could have swore one of them was wearing Civil War soldier garb. He asked the two men where the people were, to which they both pointed in the same direction.

And they were waiting by the exit at watching the whole time. Anytime someone tries to ask him about this he refuses to talk about it.
Does he have any family that grew up for generations in PA? Maybe he's related somehow.

Jack the Ripper totally butchered a girl in a rented room. When I took the Ripper tour there was someone living in that very room.

I will try to get to more cemeteries

Thank you so much. You bring virtual history to people like me in less relic-type areas like Oklahoma.
Pennsylvania is such a wonderful place for this kind of thing. So much history still hiding off the beaten trail.
Matthias Schaumboch was the name. There are many mutilations of the spelling but his name does not have an "er" at the end. His gravestone did not go missing. At one point the stone was damaged and replaced but it attracted too many unwanted visitors so the replacement stone was intentionally removed decades ago. His grave is all the way up in the far corner at the top of the hill. There is a legend that if you step on his grave you will suffer a leg injury shortly thereafter.

Good video,thanks for posting,I may have been there, there's so many of these cemeteries in PA,thanks can't wait for more.
can't imagine living in a house built in 1793....wow. and it's still standing! story is creepy...esp. the creepy hot dog/humans.

We (two car loads of us) saw their gold eyes shining, while lying there. My guess is they were waiting for white tail deer, as it was a little past dusk but dark already.
I have never seen a man more from Pennsylvania than Mr. Woodsman
I'm with you I appreciate the history, Don't want to see the crazy people who deal with spirits (bible says not to entertain them) but I do enjoy the scenery and history. Thank You and I subscribed
True or not, Achambacher's Tavern would make a cool, creepy movie for Halloween! Thanks for the tag-a-long. Visiting more cemeteries would be awesome. I cross stitch and a lot of designers go to old cemeteries and make pencil rubbings of the head stones to chart for cross stitch designs. Some have cool epitaphs that get charted as well.
Gloria Hanaway I was thinking.. Supernatural xD
Thank you for sharing I have been binge-watching your videos ever since I found your channel, I very much enjoy exploring, when I was a young girl many many years ago I loved taking long walks through the woods brings back memories, you favor a guy of another channel I love to watch Exploring with Rick and Becca you two could pass for bothers have you ever seen his channel if not check it out, thank you love your content!
Exactly, I like history. Basically every where you walk on this planet there has been something or someone walking there.
I'm highly interested in the paranormal. Thanks for posting
I own a haunted historical property in Fulton county Pennsylvania. Maybe you might know some of its past? Just let me know, Thank you 🙂
Tell us some stories
Have you been to Scranton pa? I lived there from 2012 to 2014...I had weird paranormal experience at several places there in Scranton pa and dunmore pa
i live in berks county and i swear every building here is haunted lmao
I think the vulture was a message for you?Normally they do not sit around that way? It did not look like a healthy bird?Before you go on these visits with this kind of thing you would be wise to pray for protection from anything ungodly?
Great video! Thanks.
He and his wife ? Wow talk about making a bad choice ! 👹
I think the creepiest thing you mentioned is that someone would steal a tombstone
Another interesting story telling video. Thank you; always interesting to watch your adventures. :)
that story reminds me of the benders in kansas, traveling would have certainly been an adventure back then
Interesting. I love history, I also like paranormal.
I actually been to that tavern not to close because it is being lived in. I parked where you did, it was getting dusk to almost dark. I was chased back to my car by something unknown, it was a bad feeling will not go back. Experience something similar at the Jenny Wade house not quite as bad but unusual. Left the experience on the review section of google maps. Since I was little I could always tell when there were others, I have learned to live with that, but at times there are onrs that I feel are bad. Have been to the battleground at early evenings have felt alot of feeling but never a bad one. More like they want you to be there. Maybe loneliness? The same at culps hill. But the tavern? No way. Not again.
So the guy was never brought to justice?
That Methius guy was the first Hanibal.
Love your videos! I'd love to see a video about your equipment, cameras, and software.
I just might do that sometime this spring.
Oic. U got a haunted pa series now. Very nice. Im from williamstown pa. Close to the boxcar rocks. I believe u did a video up here at the big lick tunnel. Maybe williamstown tunnel. U should do a video on the sunken cemetery up here. Anyway, just know this, wandering woodsman... u got a fellow wandering woodsman wandering the woods of pa. If i ever run into ya ima call u out n make u feel all famous n shit.lol
absolutely paranormal. were there any sasquatches?
So he had an accomplice as well, the one who made the sausage
Actually in that part of the country even to this day, people know how to make sausage and to smoke Meats. Hunters make all kinds of interesting things like venison sausage, all kinds of Bologna's and Smoked Meats like goose , rabbit in pheasant. Many families have recipes that they keep within the family for these things. I recently was given a chub of Bologna that was made over local cherry wood and mulberry wood. It was amazing! Fisherman also smoked fish and make all kinds of fish cakes . Many also a foragers and collect fabulous greens for salads as well as cooked vegetables. Such are the joys of being in rural Pennsylvania
Another great video, like to see cemeteries. A couple neat old cemeteries by long level york county
Great video. Lore brought me here.

“Secrets in the sauce!” (Fried Green Tomato’s) are you sure that building that had the sign on it wasn’t the barn?? It looks like a lean that could be a “barn”? Do you know What’s the story of why it has a plaque on it?? Ps. You look like you could be cousin’s bother :)

I've been up that way several times, hope to get up there again this summer.
Cool Video. Ever go to Valley Forge or Brandy wine ?
Civil war or Rev war? CW would have been about 100 years after the tavern was built making him one old SOB.
Got a cemetary here in tennessee.has a old section.relly old tombstones.ones a civillan side.across gallitin road.is a military side.
He sounds like a Pennsylvania version of The Bloody Bender family of 1870 ' a Kansas .
Any chance you'll be traveling a little more west this summer? I know a cemetery were the residents were killed by Indians. There's also a grave in the woods by itself that I don't know if the people that own the land know it's there.
Can you tell us whereabouts? I live in western PA
Grave in the woods, is that in Perry County, David Ogle and the bear?
Dan it's in Washington county, behind Dutch fork lake
Old tavern, where you could get wasted for five cents.
You were close to his grave. He’s in the first row 3 grave in (if I remember correctly)
Civil War??? What year was that??
I would really like to see you go to dents run and do a video about the dents run gold! Im fascinated by the whole story and now recent dig.Not sure where your from but might be a hike. Im in york pa and its a little over 3hr drive but would make for a good video!!! Thanks
It's pretty far for me as while, but a number of people have been talking about that place - it might be worth the drive.
The Wandering Woodsman My dad told me the story when i started hunting at 12 in 1977. He even bought a metal detector and we would mess around in trout season and turkey. But know one ever knew if it was just a tall tale or not but they even sold treasure maps for tourists in the area . Only problem was my dad was about 12 miles off cause we would search sinnemahoneing which is in the next county. I have been fascinated by this story for 40 years!!! Love your vids, thanks
Gruesome is Faces Of Death movies or the video from 1975 of a British tourist getting eaten alive by lions when he was stupid and got out of the car to take a pic of them eating a zebra.You see them pulling the stomach meat off.
Cool share !
You should definitely check out Chickies Rock in Columbia Lancaster County. There are tons of local legends from that area.
chiques
I go there all the time to do photography and usually capture some pretty interesting things in my photos.
It's not there because someone destroyed the head stone when they wanted to see it, they want to see if anything would happen, they have be hunted since that day that they destroyed it.
