The Will-O' The-Wisp of Clarksburg's Quality Hill
WILL-O’ THE WISP ON QUALITY HILL
Strange being Appears on Main Street and Maiden’s Lane and Disturbs Society’s Foundations
A will-o’-the-wisp, it is believed, haunts Quality Hill, and there is surmising and guessing galore in that neighborhood. The residents are busy talking about it, and that is about the only topic of conversation these days. Various stories are told about the discovery and more or less fright exists among the lady members of society. That they beheld an apparition they are all firmly convinced and that there is a degree of dread they all confess.
Only a night or so ago they saw a tall person, dressed in female attire and wearing a man’s hat. The actions of the figure were strange and the figure itself just as strange. East Main street and Maiden’s lane afforded the scene for the mysterious appearance and actions of the this strange being, mythical or real. Gliding around in the neighborhood and standing silent as a ghost in the shadows of the darkness of night, the unknown figure aroused the suspicions of the citizens and shudders and chills crept over those who beheld it.
Some think it is a mythical being, others that it is a man dressed in woman’s clothes, and still others have no definite idea.
It is surmised that it may be a society man, and yet it may be “Jack the Peeper.”
It is needless to say that the appearance of the strange visitor has had a depressing effect along Maiden’s lane, as well as the other street, and society is stirred to its foundations in that section.
Watches of the night will doubtless be established, as the strain is becoming intense and curiosity and fear have the upper hand.The mystery must be solved and that quickly, if the equilibrium of that community is to be restored.
This vintage article is from the July 22, 1903 edition of the Daily Telegram, a Clarksburg, WV based newspaper. Apparently, either a ghost or a cross-dresser was haunting the rich, well-to-do neighborhood of Quality Hill in Clarksburg. The largely residential neighborhood, with houses dating back to the mid-1800′s, is now a recognized historic district and can be found on the WV’s Register of Historic Places.
