The sealed Well and Old Maple Tree behind the Haus
Preface – This Blair Witch themed and Lovecraftian styled
story was written after a day of walking through an old cemetery, running into a large black dog there, exploring a
very old stone house, and finding a heart shaped willow
wreath decorated with dried thistle flowers and a purple
glass marble on the property. The real name of this town
and historical house have been changed, and the photos
altered so as to not give away its true location. I took these
photos on a tour of the house by the realtor with hopes of
buying it since it is such an awesome house with stone walls
about eighteen inches thick, hand sawed board floors with
square cut nails holding them down, and the original old iron door and cabinet latches throughout the house. It is very
atmospheric for sure and thank the gods previous owners
have not covered it with linoleum or carpet and tried to
modernize it, or the cursed souls within would seek revenge!

Das Schwarze Haus – Attic
The little town of Leberpul Pennsylvania was founded along the east side of the Susquehanna River in 1808 over 200
years ago. It was named after Leberpul Germany and was
primarily settled by the Germans, English and Scotch-Irish.
It has a long history as a trading town along the river and
before the town itself was built nearby the infamous river
pirate Simon Girty and the blood thirsty Indians who fought
the white man’s incursion. Like all Pennsylvania towns and
cities it started along an old Indian trail which turned into
river traffic by the French, then a road was built, and
eventually a canal and railroad.

Magickian’s Sword found hanging in the Attic
On a hill above the town was an old Indian burial ground of
the Black Wolf clan of the Susquehannocks. Back then the dead were tied in bundles to the old oak trees whose cut
down trunks are still visible in the Leberpul cemetery which
the white men took over to bury their own dead. There was
once an old Anglican church built on that hill, but the last
Indians burned it down killing the minister and his wife and
two children in the smoldering rubble. There is a legend of

sightings of a black spirit dog who still guards the old Indian
burial mound.
The Cellar with spirits in the light
The first house built in Leberpul was The Black House build
at the south end of the present town. It was build by
Ebenezer and Elisheba Black. He was a carpenter, cabinet
maker and coffin maker, and she was a nurse and helped
with his funeral business. His house became the first funeral
home in the county. It is said there is a now buried stone
tunnel which led from the graveyard hill down to the cellar
of his house then down to the river. This tunnel was first used by the Indian shamans and follows a natural cave
system under the hill. Later Ebenezer Black used it to bring
the bodies and bones down from the graveyard for his
necromantic researches. Elisheba used it for cold storage of
food and herbs. Long after their deaths during Prohibition
the tunnel was used to run liquor from the cellar of The
Black House down to the river to boats for distribution up
and down to those thirsty souls.

The Cellar Fireplace with the last burnt offerings
One day while preparing a body for burial Ebenezer’s knife
slipped striking his helping wife in the eye, which she lost
from infection. He made his wife a purple glass eye which she wore until her death, and even beyond.

Old Ebenezar died of smallpox after preparing so many
bodies for burial after a short epidemic in that county. Old
Elisheba tried to remarry, but no one would have her with
her glass eye. She turned for comfort to an old Indian medicine man and from him learned the Black Arts to
revenge herself on the community, which both feared and
hated her.
Key and Cross needed to enter the Haus
Elisheba, with the help of her medicine man Black Wolf
became a witch and soon learned the art of necromancy and
communication with the dead who were buried in the

cemetery above the house. She prepared elixirs of death
from the spring water that drained from the cemetery into a
well in the back yard, which is now mysteriously covered
with a circular wood piece disguised as a flower pot base. In
the attic can still be seen the burned traces of a blackened pentagram where they did their dark magickes, and the
hexed sword of magicke hangs there still too from a chain,
no one having the courage to take it down. In the hardened
dirt floor of the cellar clawed footprints can still be seen of
denizens conjured from the cemetery tunnel, and in one
corner lays the charred skeleton of some kind of canine.
Old Family Bible of Ebenezar and Elisheba Black
On one dark moon night during a ritual Elisheba lost her
purple glass eye. Soon afterwards she and Black Wolf died of
an unknown illness. No one knows where they are buried.
This all happened a long time ago, but sometimes people

say on the old German Lutheran All Souls night the
shimmering black ghost of old Ebenezer can be seen at the
house, leaving a heart shaped willow wreath decorated with
thistles, symbol of his broken heart at the loss of his wife to
an Indian. Sometimes the ghost of Black Wolf can be seen in the form of a large black dog roaming through the hilltop
cemetery. And most often is told the story of the ghost of
the witch Elisheba walking around the Old Brown House
looking for her lost purple glass eye.
The Witch’s Glass Eye found in floor board
The old Black House is now up for sale once again, and all I
can say is Beware those who may desire to buy this house
to live in again. Many are the dark homeless ghosts and evil

Indian and canine demons who still roam there. If you find a
heart shaped willow wreath decorated with thistles laying in
the yard, as i did, sit it upright against the house to honor
Ebenezer’s undying love, as i did. If you find Elisheba’s
purple glass eye, as i did, then bury it in the front yard of your property with the leg bone of a black dog, and this will
keep the witch of The Black House at bay. Beware the curse
of The Black House Witch!
