    Haunted Family Property

    By: Horselovernut@aol.com

    This property is in Berks county Pa. and no one has lived on the property since

    1900. No one can visit the property because of the ghosts or whatever you want

    to call it. I have never been there but I have heard some strange stories. A

    woman screams and if you approach the house a woman stands in the window with a

    candle lit. She is dressed in colonial style clothes. The family assumes this is

    our ancestor. You also hear a voice telling you to get off his land..

    April27 and June9 ,2002 we lost both our dogs. One being a black lab and the

    other a german short haired pointer. This property connects with Doe Mountain

    Ski Resort, people who work there and has visited Doe Mountain has seen my dogs

    running with a elderly man dressed in colonial work clothes. These people

    described my dogs right down to the collars. They even told me their names are

    Nike and Buster. Which is their names for real.

    I was planning a trip there with my daughters and Doe Mountain called me and

    begged me not to come. They said do not go there at night time. For whatever

    reason they said the night time is the worst. According to Doe Mountain they

    said they hear the screams at night and will not allow their guest out at

    night, the is a rule that they feel must be abided by.This is when you hear the

    blood curtling screams. We had a ancestor that died from a farm injury in 1778.

    Her husband died one year earlier leaving her with 6 children and expecting

    another one. No one knows exactly how she died or how, but the blame always fell

    on a in-law. The in-laws name was Christopher Bittenbender. Some feel he got a

    bad rap even though he was never tried and convicted this stayed in the family

    history and no one corrected this.

    The property is known as the Fetteroff/ Fetherolf/ Bittenbender property.

    The cementary still is there along with the house and barn. The stone and log

    house was built in 1738 and has been kept in excellent condition. It's liveable

    even today. No one in the Fetherolf family dares to step foot on this property.

    Some say it's cursed, I say I am in no hurry to find out. Every family member

    that has been on the property with their children, the children has always had

    tragic accidents that claimed their lives. The last was a girl that was killed

    in a plane crash. She had visited the property with her father 2 years prior.

    Call it what you want this is too strange for coincidence. Sometimes the family

    has vistors from our ancestors that lived and built the property.

    I haven't had a visit since last year, I still have strange things happening in

    my house and barn but no visible faces and bodies.

    Sometimes I hear a pounding on my daughters bedroom wall and she is 7 yrs. and

    refuses to sleep in there. I have heard the pounding in my room as well but I

    still sleep in my room. My cousin has more visits than I do but he's not married

    and has no children. He can handle the confusion more than my house can endure.

    I always know when they are here cause my Jack Russell growls at nothing. One

    night she leaped in the air at nothing and was attacking something. The

    something you could not see. All you heard was a cane tapping.

    One night my horses was making awful noises so I went to check on them. I found

    nothing but they had a frightful look in their eyes and were rearing up in the

    stalls. They all were breathing heavy and were sweaty as if they had been

    running.

    Maybe one day I will get brave enough to visit but not any time soon.

    Even Reading county courthouse knows of this property the land records officer

    calls it the haunted land...

    Here is what BC says about season passes(this is right off the web site)

     

    SEASON PASS AND FIVE SESSION PASS GUARANTEE

    By purchasing a Season Pass or Five Session Pass, you make a commitment to Bear Creek Mountain Resort. In return, we make a commitment to you with our Pass Guarantee. We all hope for a cold and snowy winter, but if the weather does not cooperate Bear Creek has you covered by guaranteeing a minimum 65 day season!

     

     

    Season Pass Guarantee

    For every day that Bear Creek falls short of the 65 day guarantee, you will receive a 2% per day credit* toward your Season Pass purchase the following season. For example, if Bear Creek is open 55 days, 10 days less than the minimum guarantee, you will receive a credit of 10 days multiplied by 2% equaling a 20% credit toward the following season.

    *Credit amount is based on the cost paid for the 2006-2007 season pass.

     

     

    I've been going to BC for a long time..on the average they would open just before Christmas and close around St Patty's day.....that comes close to 80 plus days....I wonder who came up with 65 days?

     

    Then they credit you with a discount towards next years pass if they don't meet the 65 days...OK...I bet those pass prices go up next year.....

     

    If BC goes to the end of March into April then props to them,but if they close on the 18th that's how there going to cover there ass

    I could never understand why they never have comps during the day.More people would enter,the riding would be way better,the spectator crowd would be bigger,just better PR all around.Closing the trail for two hours wouldn't be a big deal...hell they close timberline for almost three hours for "race training" every Sat and Sun morning.

    I did not get to see or ride the half pipe....but what kind of pisses me off about BC and the half pipe(in the past) is there lack of maintaining it.They like to cut it for comps and that's it.I would like to do more half pipe riding but there,but the pipe is never consistant.

    I had a chance to ride the new quad and it is indeed very nice.They had grizzy open(which the conditions sucked)I was able to take two runs down sasquatch before they roped it off.I'll tell ya it was freakin sweet.Great blown snow(not the sticky stuff)It felt like the stuff right out of a magazine(for all of about 15 seconds).Sunday should be nice.

  15. Opening?

    I don't think they would take a hit on the season passes for next year if there not open this weekend.With so many people moving into this area there always someone to take the place of your pass next season.But what the hell...I want them to open this Friday!
