The Haunting

The Laughing Scarecrow - Not much is known about the mystery of the laughing scarecrow but at no particular time mostly during and around the harvest season, it has been reported that a figure or apparition, looking such as a scarecrow, will appear out of the woods, which is located south of 116, off a country road. It will screech and laugh at passersby. Also the whole town of New Corydon, and surrounding area, is known for many unusual phenomena. That includes a Cry Baby Bridge, the creature, and witches of the old abandoned stone quarry. And strange lights. Many people report a feeling of doom, coldness, evil there.
