A Primer on Blake County.
Since our township is too small and insignifigant to have a wiki page, I thought i'd make one myself.
Established by quakers in 1689, the Blake county area was originally a minor farming and mining area. Being so small, It took until 1947 to get its first police station established. With a troubled history of crime and unsavory religious practices, it was recognized as a second class township by the state of pennsylvania in 1963.
Despite its name, Blake county is, in fact, a township. Not a county. This fact serves as a grave reminder to how ridiculous everything is here.
In the late 1970's, a librarian by the name of Catherine Routhe encountered, what she called, "A tree demon." This 'Tree Demon' was reportedly at least 10 feet tall, with a dark body and long spindly limbs like treebranches.
Similar reports of a tall forest creature have popped up throughout the ages; notable were reports made by Reverand Samuel F. Green, a prodestant church leader, and an especially young Jane Doe, who was not identified after her statement.
A few things seem to stay constant across all stories:
- The creature is tall, ranging from 6ft to 15 ft
- It has many long, tendril like limbs resembling tree branches
- Its body is dark, with a constasting light 'head'
- It can often be found in the forest and surrounding trees, or hiding behind tall man-made structures (lampposts, etc.)
- It can cause extreme distress to those who come in contact with it
Overall, seems like a fairly standard cryptid, calling to mind other east-coast creations like the Jersey Devil or The Flatwoods Monster.
In my younger years, I would often go off on my own expeditions, looking for the thing. My efforts came up naught obviously, but eventually led to my inevitible diagnosis of early-onset childhood schizophrenia. (haha)
Nonetheless, this initial intrest in the supernatural sparked off my life-long love of conspiracy theory. Now my main goal is to find intrigue in this podunk town and make my own fun, however possible.
That's all I can think about blake county right now.
