back in the day...(not the 50's), we visited spider gates all the time.
The road is not accessable today, we use to drive down...now you have to park and the cops are all over that now...nothing to do with ghost, more like dumping of bodies....if you remember the mom and son team that dumb a body.
ps
blackdog_1946 are you okay? I hope the priest of the orphanage didn't take you for long walks in the cemetery.
