A gal can dream, though, no?
It sounds like a story ripped from the pages of an episode of the teen horror television show"Buffy the Vampire Slayer": A sleepy town is haunted by demonic forces, owing to the fact that one of seven gateways to hell is situated in the town's cemetery.
That newspaper, The University Daily Kansan, is produced and circulated for the University of Kansas. And according to Thomas's research in the book"Haunted Lawrence," the legend of the Stull haunting started with an article published by that newspaper on Nov. 5, 1974, titled"Legend of Devil Haunts Tiny Town."
But the article, according to Thomas' research, was intended to be a scary fiction for the paper's Halloween edition. Due to a paper shortage, however, it was printed almost a week after Halloween. Being out of its intended context, the story took on a life of its own.A related urban legend that grew out of the Stull tale holds that when flying to Denver in 1993, Pope John Paul II had his pilot fly around Stull because the Pope didn't want to fly over"unholy ground.
