I just want to make a comment on the hanging tree in Spider Gates.First of all,I lived in Nazzareth home for boys, Which was located about 1 mile from Spider gates.

Back in 1956 Spider gates was our playground for us kids.We used to sneak in there all the time.When Father Tinsley found out that we were hanging around in there,he gathered us all in the rec.room and told us the story about the hanging tree. After he told us that story not too many of us went back to Spider Gates.

Around 1966 when i went back to visit Father Tinsley.I asked him about the story of the hanging tree.He told me that it was just made up by him to keep us kids out of the graveyard. Now,there must of been at least 75 kids that herd that story. Natrally when we left the orphanage we took the story with us.

In any case like most ghost storys there is more fiction than facts,Otherwise the story wouldnt be interesting. I know that place very well and the things that i saw could make a man shake in hes boots. Its funny how the very thing that Father Tinsley told us to keep us out of Spider Gates keeps drawing us back.

Robert Pitchman. P.S This story is true.
