The phantom rider Clark at Penn, 1880

Roads around Penn

1880

The story is dated to 1880. Four local farmers, all on horseback, are said to have pursued the phantom of a man named Clark and his mare along the roads of Penn.

They kept pace until they reached Penn church, where the apparitions faded into a grey mist and the farmers' own horses bolted in fear.

The listing offers no names for the farmers and no fuller source. A separate listing mentions a phantom horse heard galloping around Penn, with laughter, but nothing joins the two. A thin tradition, kept as such.
