Welcome to Pennsylvania's Oil Region
Ghost towns, Abandoned houses, old cemeteries...
All make for some strange stories.  These tales were collected from various old stories and half-true legends.  Some are just original poems about the area.
You may be wondering if 'Half-True' means half of each story is true...or if only half of the stories are true.
The answer is 'Yes'.

The complete book will be available for sale in 2009.  150 years after Edwin Drake drilled his first well.
