A lot of people have been trying their hand at bread baking during this period of social isolation and if you're one of them, you've probably realized that it can be kind of tricky! If you're trying to learn to activate yeast for the first time (or even make a sourdough starter! Yikes!) chances are you've been learning a lot about trial and error. But a new bread recipe has been making the rounds online, likely because it's a lot simpler (and maybe even tastier!) than whatever complicated creations we've all been trying.

It's being called "Peanut Butter Bread" and it first gained popularity back in summer 2019 thanks to a YouTube video from Glen & Friends Cooking. The video features hosts making the bread from a recipe out of the 1932 edition of the cook book Five Roses: A Guide to Good Cooking.
 
But it really began to gain traction thanks to a post on the subreddit r/Old_Recipes, according to The Today Show. It's easy to see why the recipe is so appealing, especially as many people are staying in and cooking from pantry ingredients. It mainly includes things you already have at home, plus a modest amount of flour and sugar.
Best of all, it's a quick bread, similar to things like banana bread or zucchini bread, so it doesn't require any yeast or rising times. Just follow the instructions and you'll have bread in a little over an hour. A quick look at the hashtag #peanutbutterbread shows that a lot of people have been giving it a try.
 

In the 60's B.F.Goodrich was there , made golf balls.  Later on Believe it was Ideal from Sykesville made hunting clothes.  When Goodrich was there after Friday night football game would walk over to get a ride home with my mother when she got off a 11 PM.

A SPIRIT of Christmas past of course.

I knew a boy in high school who was at Camp Mt Run for the first time and got so frightened of the Hodag on the mountain that he ran and dove into a car through the open window and wouldn't come out, had to be taken home. He quit scouts.  
 

When we connect stories to the area of the Boy Scout Camp during that time frame (probably any time frame) I would take all of them with a big grain of salt.  In my experience as a Scout during the late 50's and early 60's I recall many stories of things in the woods that would be designed to scare the unsuspecting campers.  I'm pretty sure there were never mountain lion or bear attacks, etc.
I would believe the tales told around the campfires at night were more designed to keep the curious campers from straying away into the night creating mischief as kids are inclined to do.  Keeping things in context and understanding the time frame we have to believe that young people of that era and from our area were not big travelers.  Most had not been more than 50 miles from their homes and had seen very little of the world outside their local area,  An area that might be quite small, certainly by today's standards.
I respect the feelings some people get that they attribute to spirits.  I have felt things that I will say are similar when visiting places like the Vietnam Wall in DC, and the Murra building in Oklahoma City.  When you get a knot the size of a football in your stomach and the hair on your arms and the back of your neck just tingles, it gets your attention.  I can't say I've experienced anything remotely close to that anywhere else.  It begs the eternal question, do spirits or ghosts exist?  I don't know, but if they do I wish I knew how to communicate with a few.  I would love to have conversations with my Dad, my Son and my Sister.  There may be a lot to learn from them.  If nothing else I may be able to know about the afterlife while there is still time to change my evil ways.  

I can only tell you about a ghost story going around in the 1960's.  In Sabula where the boy scout camp is there were supposed to be ghosts - in particular I remember hearing about a ghost horse that did not gallop but moved smoothly across the property .  As an initiation the boy scouts had to camp there at night  and they were scared to death.  I was never a boy scout (probably too scared to become one after hearing the ghost stories LOL) but maybe some former boy scouts from the 60's can chime in on this story.

There's also an old tale about there being a "Headless Horseman" in the Drauker's Woods area

There is a book called "Haunted Pennsylvania" that covers a lot of this.

Ummm, sorry but my familly never lost anyone as a child and there was only one Osborne Family in Sabula. There were only 2 children and the both lived to a ripe old age. My great great uncle John died in Butler about 80 years old and never had any children, and my great grandmother Mattie lived to be 100 and died in 1976. Dont know where this story came from, but is sounds like another Charlie Moore wives tale.

I'm not sure how far back it was that this happened with my mom, but I know the house was on Worth Street I can't remember what end. 
 

I am not sure which house your talking about  there is a house on the Pike, 322 west of town, going up the hill where in the 60s a man who lived on Ohio St thought his wife was having an affair with the man who lived on the pike. One night he walked up to the house on the Pike knocked on the door and when the man who lived  opened the door shot him in the face with a shot gun then walked home called the state police and waited for them to arrive and arrest him. One of the troopers who was there told me years ago that blood covered the walls and left a huge mess. I knew someone who lived in that house years later and they say the front door  often sticks at night if you try to open it

One of the houses in Reynoldsville that my mom use to live in as a little girl had weird occurrences. 
She said when they moved in they were told a man shot himself in the one room. There was apparently still blood all over so my grandmother cleaned it up as best as she could but the blood stains kept coming back. I think I was even told that fresh paint wouldn't cover it. 
 
She also told me about the time she woke up and walked downstairs to see a figure of a man in the room that looked as real and solid as could be. She walked over to it and went to touch it but it was just a cold mist that she could run her fingers through. 
 
The house is no longer there. I'm pretty sure everyone who lived there after that had also experienced something which may explain why they tore it down. 

With Halloween coming surely someone out there has some good local ghost stories.

When my mom worked at DuBois Nursing Home, they would often see the shadow figure of an old man on the security camera in the front entrance area.  They would be sitting at the desk and all of a sudden, there he was.  He always appeared to be leaning against one of the walls of the entryway.  He would appear at different times of day and night and never in exactly the same place.  It was as if he was just hanging out there, waiting for someone to come pick him up or something.  

I currently work in the CRC building for DRMC (old Catholic School).  I was working alone one Saturday and I heard someone knock on our office door.  I got up to answer it, but no one was there.  The lights in the hall are on motion sensors, so if anyone had been in the hall, they would be on.  They were not.  Really creeped me out.

Heres some from PA. http://www.yourghoststories.com/pa

Any more local ghost stories?

:'(

the child was of one of the original families of Sabula, the Osbornes. he accompanied his older brothers to the sugar shack that they had to the left of the tunnel enterance. as darkness fell he became scared and told the others that he was going to walk back home. His brothers told Him to stay on the path that he was familiar with to return back to the house. As morning came the boys returned home only to be questioned as to where the youngest son was. They told of the nights events and that he had returned home. A search party was formed by the locals and whent on through the night and again the next morning. On a third search of the wooded area searchers found the body of the child in some bushes off of the path. The body did not show any wounds leaving the locals to believe that the boy froze to death.

Oil let me know I will make sure to have the tape lol

will have to set it up. true investigation and respectfull

Some said about going to a local cemetery, I know I went one day during the daytime then I ended up with car trouble -- but then it started.  Went back one time at night,  which was something we decided to do last second.  I only had my cell phone,  took a picture where there was something, but for the one who was with me I needed duct tape kept talking lol we only stayed for about an hour.

The trip dodge was talking about was 3 went to the tunnels, I stayed in my vehicle.  They was gone for about 15 minutes, I was sitting there doing paper work, I started to hear a giggling noise, looked around and nothing, continued back doing paper work, then heard it more and louder.  The group did not return for another 20 minutes after I heard the louder giggles.  

the child is shy yet playfull, so large groups usualy will not produce much evidence. Keep your groups small and keep talking to a minimum. Alot of people are skeptic and explain reasonings for everything but when they can't be explained thats when you become a believer. That tunnel has been the cause of death for seven workers during construction, and 1 work foreman during the molly mcquire times. Jonothan was known to play in the tunnel before death, he chooses to continue after.
