The Buckhorn

I just wanted to say cool site and that stuff about the lady in white on the Buckhorn and Wopsy may be true?

We saw something about 12yrs ago, but to this day I'm not sure what. My buddy Paul and I were visiting my girlfriend at PSU Altoona, it got late so we started home. As we got a few hundred yards past what was then the "Buckhorn Inn" we could see something standing on the side of the road, neither of us said a word as we got closer and saw what appeared to be a women in a wedding dress. If that wasn't strange enough, since we both knew the legend, but you could make out every detail of her but her face.

After we composed ourselves about a 1/4 mile later we went back to see if someone was just pulling a prank. All I can say is if they were they got out of there in a damn hurry. I guess you just had to be in the car that night to believe something so strange.

12 years later Paul and I don't share that story often because everyone laughs. I'm not scared of much, but that road gives me the creeps.
