From an eccentric Clinton County puppetmaster whose marionettes were so lifelike that some believed they were made of flesh and blood, to a haunted lumber camp in McKean County, to an unfortunate Northumberland County veteran who risked death at every turn because of his uncanny resemblance to John Wilkes Booth, Pennsylvania has always been home of some of the world's most intriguing people and places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume 3 of Pennsylvania Oddities features thirty remarkably strange, but true, stories. There's the unidentified suicide victim who died in Perry County, perhaps taking to her unmarked grave the secret behind one of the greatest scandals in Hollywood history. There's the one-legged fugitive from Cambria County who made a fantastic escape from a supposedly inescapable prison. And let's not forget about the Dauphin County carpenter who attempted to fly over Blue Mountain in a homemade airplane-- 75 years before the Wright Brothers flew into the history books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese and many more bizarre tales from every corner of the Keystone State are included in Pennsylvania Oddities, Volume 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCONTENTS: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Great Japanese Embassy Hoax (Montour County)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ghost of Reverend Nowak (Luzerne County)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter Hauntz: Pennsylvania's Mysterious Puppetmaster (Clinton County)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lost Confederate Grave of Wildcat Falls (York County)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLorena Tawser's Strange Confession (York County)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Garrett Family Curse: Murder or Accident?
