'Haunted' Crossroads in Darkness Riddle

By London Walton

The crossroads at Highways 61 and 49 saw yet another mysterious occurrence yesterday with a 'localised eclipse' that seems to have caused machine failure across a 1 mile radius, and has resulted in dozens of reports from concerned citizens across the county.

According to several eyewitnesses, at approximately 4.17pm
East Coast Time, a mysterious darkness fell across the so-called 'haunted cross roads' of highways 61 and 49, followed by the appearance of an eerie light and the smell of electrical burning. At the same time, all manner of machines and computerised equipment from watches to cell phones stopped working. Passing tourist Frances Griffiths of Cottingley, claims to have witnessed the whole incident firsthand.

'I was like totally weirded out. The sky suddenly went all black like in that movie Independence Day, and there was like a blue red light in the air at the same time. I felt totally scared and threw up, maybe twice. I tried to call my mom but my cell phone wasn't working. Color me freaked.'

Devil's Dog

Other eye witnesses support Ms. Griffiths' statement, with one local, who has refused to be named, adding that he caught a glimpse of the now legendary 'devil's dog' in the area; 'It was Old Shuck, without a doubt' he claimed. As Hornchurch residents will no doubt be aware, the mythical beast has been sighted on at least 20 separate occasions in the last four years, leading the County Sheriff's Department to check the perimeter fencing of local zoos and menageries last Fall.

Weather Balloon

With devilish and ghostly conspiracies in nearly everyone's mind, local scientist and feminist Estelle Starr seems to be the only Hornchurchian keeping an open mind suggesting 'it was probably a weather balloon'. Police however are taking every suggestion seriously, asking for any further witnesses to come forward with anything that could explain the incident - no matter how bizarre. The police are looking for two potential witnesses in particular; one man who was seen in a red and black shirt near the crossroads yesterday afternoon, and another man who was dressed entirely in black.
