Hangman's Curse: The Back Stairs & Hall Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

robertturnland: It is with a heavy heart, that I finally archive this great geocache. It lasted quite a few years and garnered 3 favorite points.

After the death of my grandfather, I had also lost the ability to recreate my cache for replacement. His death also it me pretty hard.

I hope your adventures are awesome and plentiful.

Keep Caching.

Geocache Description:

This cache is no longer a nano, which might make some people happy. A writing utensil would be very useful for signing the log. PLEASE USE STEALTH when searching for this.

The parish priest has given permission for the cache to be placed.

Hangman's Curse is the first book in the "Veritas Project" series by Frank Peretti.

The Story (as taken from the official webpage for the movie):
Roger’s High School is in the grip of a dark and sinister force. Three students lay near death and it’s whispered they are the casualties of Abel Frye, a ghost that has haunted the school since he hanged himself 10 years earlier. Scratched into the locker of each victim is the image of a hangman, a symbol which has become a calling card for terror. Suspicions run high as more and more students fall under its spell, screaming the name of the legendary spirit before darkness overtakes them. What’s to blame? An exotic illness? An illicit drug? Or is it truly the supernatural? The clues are few and time is running out. The only hope is the Veritas Project, a highly trained investigative team brought in to expose the truth. Working undercover, they attend the school in an effort to unravel the mystery and protect the student body from their own prejudice and fear.

Welcome to St. Francis Xavier Church. I was an alter boy for a short while here when I was a kid.

If you look across the street (south) you will see St. Francis Xavier Catholic School. The school is a secondary shooting location for the movie. Though, when all the editing is said and done, they make you think that it is really part of the main.

Their is more to this site than having a movie shot on the premises. I technically grew up here. This former catholic school is also where I went for third grade, Sunday School, and even helped my grandma with coffee and donuts. My mom even went to school here, when it was just the main brick building, and the sisters lived and taught there.

A few years ago when I was first contracted to clean at a bank; something interesting happened. Somebody that was in my third grade class worked there (the bank). Hmmm...... Interesting.

The former school site has not gone to waste; though. It is now home to the Boy's and Girl's Club of Spokane.

Hope you enjoy this little cache.

Congratulations to airrooster and 0068 for Co-FTF!
