urban legends: the awful thruth of cropsey

bb's playground: the aweful truth of cropsey:Horror, no matter what artistic form it takes, didn’t create the boogeyman; he created horror, and we’ve been telling stories about him since the beginning. In every neighborhood across the country, he comes in a different form, with a different past, but he exists in the darkest reaches of our minds and communities, starring in cautionary tales that warn us of places we shouldn’t go and things we shouldn’t do. In upstate New York, he was called Cropsey (or Cropsy), a burned judge, or camp counselor (depending on who you speak with) who took vengeance on the foolish children that accidentally killed his wife and daughter (supposedly). By the time this urban legend floated down the Hudson River and onto Staten Island, it attached itself to a very real, very terrifying string of crimes that were steeped in superstition and legend, blurring the lines between cold, hard facts and haunting myth.
