These caches are dedicated to the Legend of Gray Road.
The first story is that a family was driving their carriage over the tracks when they were hit by a train, injuring everyone, but killing a young 10 year old. They say that if you drive down the road around midnight and park the car by the tracks (now covered by the road) a little boy will appear.
The surrounding woods and swamps are also said to be haunted.
On Tuesday November 2, 1926, Ethel Guinup, who was only in her 20’s, committed suicide by hanging herself in a barn located in the woods. She lived on nearby Snell Road and after a confrontation with her husband; decided to end her life. Her spirit is still lost and looking for answers.
I could not find any articles on this but did find an Ethel Guinup who is buried in the Fulton cemetary that was born in 1905 and died in 1925. Her grave stone is located in Section 10 - Row 9 at the Mount Adnah Cemetery
On the night of August 9th, 1961, a 54 year old cab driver by the name of Frank F Coolidge was giving a young man, Garry Bernard Rhinehart a ride to the dense wooded area. At the time it was a lovers lane, so the cab driver assumed the young Rhinehart was meeting a special someone. As they turned on Gray Road, Garry pulled out a .22 caliber pistol and emptied the gun into Franks’ back. As Frank passed away, he hit the accelerator and launched the car into a tree. Rhinehart fled the scene, hitchhiking back towards Syracuse leaving Coolidge who was found around midnight by locals.
The next day there was an article about this event actually occuring...
