Hey,
Folks!
Well, here it is: my life story. I was born in
Coshocton, Ohio, Sept. 8, 1971, to Dave &
Jan Rose Wolfe. My dad at the time was a manger
at a shoe store, and mom worked at a sewing factory.
My mom and dad got a divorce when I was 3 or 4.
I don’t remember it much; I was very young.
But I do have some fond memories around the holidays,
which were and still are my favorite times. I
remember when we used to go over to my grandmother’s
house every Christmas Eve, and all the family
was there. We’d gather around the fire place
and tell stories, and we kids would play and exchange
gifts. It was an awesome time and I still cherish
it. Funny thing: even after my dad and mom got
a divorce, my mom would still come over there
for the holidays.
We (Mom and
I) lived on a place call Chestnut Hill in a very
old house. This was where my first encounter of
ghosts came in. Strange thing about this house:
nothing happened until the divorce. That’s
when strange things happened. Every night my bed
would shake, and when I’d scream, Mom would
come in. Then it would stop, but when she left,
it would start up again. Now keep in mind, there
was no train nearby at all, no factory, only cars
going by.
One particular
night I was sleeping poorly, and when I turned
over, there beside my bed was a apparition or
person, or call it what you will, standing there.
It looked like the death angel himself!!!! When
I called for Mom she came in and walked right
through him. She couldn’t see him, but I
sure the heck could! It stood beside my bed for
4 nights. On the 4th night I said, “You
can stand here, but I’m going to sleep in
the bathroom.” It had a night light. After
that the apparition was gone never to be seen
again. Strangely my dad later said that he had
seen the same thing at the same age in a different
house. We wondered if it’s a family ghost
or curse (which I call it).
Other strange occurrences
happened to my mom. She would be in the kitchen and
then out of nowhere she’d hear her name. When
she thought it might be her friend, she’d say,
“Come on in,” but no one was there. Other
times she would feel a strange feeling like someone
was in the room or behind her touching her back. When
she turned around, no one would be there. One particular
night, she was sleeping in my old room. She actually
heard the ghost come up the stairs, around the banister,
and then to the bed. She said it seemed that a presence
was just standing over her. The best way to explain
it is when it came over to her bed, it was like someone
having his hand over her face. But in an instant it
was gone, very eerie!!!
When my mom started
dating my step dad Richard Leahey, it all stopped, and
after they got married, nothing ever happened again.
I believe the ghost was just there to say I’m
here until someone else comes along.
Our house wasn’t
the only one like this. Four other houses beside us
were more haunted than ours. The story goes that a lot
happened through the area: an Indian battle happened
just down the road, and there were old coal mines around
our house so someone could have died there or been buried
there. Mines collapse….. who knows?
When I was 10-11
years old we moved to Wausau, Wisconsin. I lived there
for one year. Then me moved to Wapello, Iowa, when I
was eleven and lived there for about one year. My step-dad
was working for Westinghouse as an engineer, so he had
to transfer a lot. Every summer I’d stay with
my dad. Mom would have to leave me behind, and then
when I’d go back with Mom, I’d have to leave
Dad. That was a hard time in my life, and maybe I’ll
right a book about it later (ha ha). So we finally moved
to Owensboro, Ky. when I was almost thirteen. I love
Owensboro and call it my second hometown.
I graduated from Apollo High School, and then went to
community collage for what seemed like forever. I was
a little wild, hung around the wrong crowd, and didn’t
study much. But that changed when I started to go to
church and then got saved on Dec 15 1993. Then I was
doing the music business, going to college, and working
all at the same time. So I thought I would give up collage,
(stupid me) and make it in music (yeah right!!!). Well,
I moved to Nashville in 1998, then moved back in the
end of that summer. I had a string of bad luck there!!
I got married in
2000, had a son in 2003, and now am back in college
at Brescia University studying to be a history teacher.
Now I’m starting this new adventure doing ghost
tours. I hope it will take off and bring more tourists
to Owensboro, Ky.
So I guess you’re
wondering where I got the whole interest in storytelling.
Well, it comes from my Grandma and Grandpa McFarland,
my dad and mom, and other family members. My grandma
used to tell us kids tons of ghost stories from where
she used to live in Black Mountain, Ky. The best one
is when she was walking home one night and the moon
was full. She was walking beside a railroad track which
goes in front of her house. When she happened to look
down at her shadow, she saw two!! One was hers, and
the other had no head. Her sister actually saw the person
with no head one night at the same spot!!! My grandpa
used to tell us about the wild man of eastern Ky. who
would shake his hand at cars that shined their lights
on him as he was walking down the road.
My Dad and I were
always interested in Bigfoot and still talk about it.
One time we were near Wills Creek, Ohio, we stopped
on the side of the road. There was a holler on my side
of the road for some reason we got out to look at something
when we heard an awful noise of something screaming
loud like we were in its territory and it didn’t
want us there. Now my dad being a hunter knew what sounds
animal made, when we ran and got back into the truck
I ask was that a deer, mountain lion, or bear he just
shook his head nervously and said” no I don’t
know what that was.” Now this might not of been
Bigfoot but he(Bigfoot) had been sighted where we were.
Another time Dad and I were out fishing at a friend
place on the east side of Coshocton county way out in
the boonies. We were just getting ready to leave and
around us were hills with cows grazing and surrounded
by woods. We noticed that it felt different out and
the cows were acting spooked!! When all of the sudden
out of the woods a big light colored creature came out
it looked tall and hairy now keep in mind we were a
little ways of on the edge of the bottom of the hill.
It stopped looked at us then went back into the woods.
We just looked at each other and said what was that,
and then got into the truck fast.
So there are some
of my experiences. I’ve always love history, haunts,
stories, and never been shy to be in front of a crowd.
This is some of the reasons why I wanted to do this,
also I was always fond of one particular person here
in Owensboro that influenced me ever since I was a kid
and that person is Joe Ford. He always came to our school
when I was a kid and told us ghost stories around Halloween
(Which is one of my favorite holidays). I love going
to the museum were he worked and hearing his history
stories. He’s a big influence on me and helped
me a lot with this project thanks Mr. Ford. Also like
to thank Rick Pustanio. I couldn’t get it all
done without his help and time thanks Man. Also www.hauntedamericatours.com
with all their help. The people of downtown Owensboro,
The Executive Inn, The library, and staff, William T
Reynolds for his stories, Ron Mayhew for his stories,
The Book sixty years of Owensboro, My Family for putting
up with me through all of this, The fans and people
that go on the tour thanks this wouldn’t happen
with them also, and My Lord Jesus thanks for your grace
and love. So there you have it my life story in a nut
shell hope you like the tour, the Website, and my stories
there will be more in the future thanks…..
