Geocache Description:


This cache was hidden as part of the
2017 Are You Geocacher Enough? Road Rally


Pere Cheney is a remote, spooky place.  One of the most popular legends told about the old town tells of the “witch” who lived in the town and was hung from a big oak tree in the cemetery. She was then buried under the tree. Some stories say the woman of this legend wasn’t really a “witch” in the way ghostly legends like to portray — casting spells and dropping curses all day — but that she was a woman who had a child out of wedlock, something akin to being a witch back in the day. Because of how she was treated, she cursed the town. Scarlet fever, smallpox and diphtheria took the lives of many people, including children, during the few decades Pere Cheney was in existence. This sad, historical fact has given fuel to the stories and the legend of the “curse” that has grown around Pere Cheney. Throughout the years, Pere Cheney has been a hotspot for paranormal enthusiasts in Michigan. There are plenty of stories on the Internet about people experiencing cold spots, apparitions, disembodied voices and even reports of ghost trains spotted in the area. So is Pere Cheney really haunted?
