Geocache Description:

Be careful.  Those eyes you see may belong to a cow, or a coyote, or some lightning bugs, or something else all together.  Walk slowly and quietly, it is possible that if you stand still you may still hear the sound of wagon wheels from a time gone past.


The above coordinates are for parking.  You will need to walk down the old farm lane to reach a waypoint. To reach that waypoint, you need to figure out the following:

Five People were all taking a vacation in the Finger Lakes, unfortunately all their vacations were cut short by a terrifying encounter with a resident ghost.

Can you determine the type of accommodation, its name and the name of the resident ghost?

Janelle stayed at the Glen Harbor, she was not frightened off by Barley There Bear.

The pub was the home of Jumping Johnny, who frequently turned down the thermostat and then let out gruesome shrieks, chilling everyone to the bone.

Kristin or Janelle’s vacation was at the campground - was Macabre Mary the resident ghost there?

James went to stay with friends, this was in a cabin, but it did not have the name Magnolia Place. He was not terrified by Scary Terryberry, the ghost that left bloodstained footprints behind.

Erica vacationed at a place named the Goat, which was not a hotel.

Wicked Wardner really did scare Jeff, as he was settling down to sleep, by scraping his fingernails on the bedroom window, this was not at a hotel and it wasn't a place named the Blueberry Patch.

The bed and breakfast accommodation was not the Seneca Lodge, which was also not the campground where Barley There Bear was resident.

The necessary grid to solve the puzzle is loaded as an image below.

N  42° Macabre Mary, campground . Goat, Macabre Mary, Jumpy Johnny

W 076° Wicked Wardner, hotel . Barley There Bear, Jumpy Johnny, Jumpy Johnny

You will know you are close to the waypoint when you cross a small stream.  Be careful, you need to step over some barbwire to find a container which will lead you to the final cache location.  It is within a camouflaged film canister. Once found, head north crossing the stream to find the cache in a restful spot. 

When you visit here, please show respect to the people buried here. No nighttime caching, please.

There is an un-activated Lackey keychain trackable that I won during trivia at a recent game night geocache event for the FTF.
