For years this location has been known for the legend of Mangus Hurlbut, a man who used to live on this property when it was a gravel pit over 100 years ago. He lived in an old shack in the trees behind the railroad yard with several other vagrants. One by one his fellow bums disappeared until he was the only one living among the trees, thus he became known as the Hermit of Ghost Hollow. Every now and then some one would visit him and try to befriend him. Mangus loved to have company and would sit by the fire and play his harmonica for his guests. However, when his guests tried to leave, Mangus would get violent. No known guest has ever escaped the fury of Mangus.
