This week on the FarmHouse, a podcast by Lancaster Farming, we're returning to the haunted farmhouse for some seasonal fun and spine-tingling tales from the farm.

In this episode, we'll be sharing four spooky stories that take place on farms or in rural communities because, let's face it, scary stories from the city just don't have quite the same chilling effect as those set out in the country.

For our first tale, we'll travel to Robertson County, Tennessee, where the Bell family came to farm in the early 1800s. Unfortunately for the Bells, a spirit that would become known as the Bell Witch wasn't happy with them and wasn't afraid to let them — and anyone else who visited the farm — know about it, including a future president.

Next, we're stopping by the Brinton Lodge in Douglassville, Pennsylvania. The lodge is currently home to the Hidden River Brewing Co., but the building has been a host to plenty of spirits long before beer.

Then we'll hear a spooky parable about a stingy farmer who refuses to rebuild his dilapidated barn, despite his wife's requests. When a stranger appears and offers the farmer a deal that seems to good to be true, it's up to his wife to save the day — and potentially his soul.

Finally, we're headed to Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, to hear the legend of the hounds of Colebrook Furnace. Mistreated by their cruel ironmaster owner, the hounds allegedly pursue their revenge in the afterlife. According to local lore, you can still hear them howling around the area at night.
