“The Pumpkin Specter of Yost Park”
Entered By: Dean Westling
Entry Category: Residential Entry
Description
93 years ago, when George Brackett first ventured inland from Brackett’s Landing, he encounter a truly terrifying sight in what is now Yost Park. A Pumpkin headed specter floating though the woods at dusk every night. The specter chased George Brackett back to the beach, where Brackett proclaimed, as he begged for his life, “Spare me O’ Pumpkin Spector and thine land of the Western Hill of the Woods shall ever here and henceforth belong to the you, the Pumpkin Specter!”
Ever since then, the Pumpkin Specter of Yost Park has haunted the Yost Park neighborhoods, reminding them that Brackett’s Proclamation still stands, and the woods belong to the Specter!
