Hi Raven - glad to see you're still here!!!! Have you been doing any work on your website...or actually getting out and "investigating" any more locations?
-about the Weary Road thing....I'm all in favor of "debunking" and I really like to learn about the "real facts" behind any sort of "local legend" but it takes a little effort to debunk any story, too. (you can't just say "OH, THAT NEVER HAPPENED" - especially if you can easily find out that something really did happen just by googling or doing a little research online)
the thing is...most "local legends" have some sort of "truth" in them, that's how they got to be "local legends" in the first place. But people retell the stories and pass them on and the real facts always get tremendously distorted.
the whole story about "OLD MAN WEARY" - I would bet there is something to it. If the guy really was a pedophile (or something along those lines) it isn't surprising to me that there is no record of it....people used to keep that sort of thing "to themselves" back then. (just think about how many priests were molesting kids and getting away with it) - but people were always "people" and they would have talked between themselves, they would have told each other "secrets" in confidence, and secrets are rarely kept....I really think that's how the "legends of Weary Road" got started. But of course, I really doubt there would be any way to prove any of it now.
