Since it is October & 2020 sucks.
I will try to provide #Roc based #GhostStories to entertain y’all.

In #BrightonNY on Friday September 21, 1951 a terrible tragedy struck two of our most beautiful neighborhoods, which resulted in the current ghost story I will tell.

Buckle up.
Friday September 21, 1951 was a beautiful warm day.
As such - many people were outside.
Mowing lawns.
Tending to gardens.
Housewives decided to get their shopping done.
Most children were in school.
A crew was working to repair a sidewalk near 12 corners (a crossroads of three streets - Elmwood, Winton & Monroe Avenues).
There was an undetected gas leak there - and the flares of the work crew accidentally lit the leak on fire and caused a tragic chain reaction.
