Creepy Dudes Dressed Like Pilgrims Living in the Woods.

Local nature photographer, Scrim Shaw (pictured to the left), currently on a leave of absence as director of GROL (Greyote Relief & Outreach League), discovered a band of 17th century Pilgrims living in abandoned World War II bomb shelters, nestled in the old military proving grounds, next to the former landfill, which was built on the site of the arsenic plant that was closed in the early 1900’s, following what has become to be known as – “The Unfortunate Accident”.

“When the Greyotes go into hibernation, there is little to do,” claimed Mr. Shaw.” I decided to spend the winter, following my dream as a nature photographer. Besides, I bought a brick of Kodachrome in the mid-1980s and thought that their expiration date was probably about to… you know, expire.”

Mr. Shaw, was apparently, about to photographically capture a frolicking squirrel, when he saw a large man wearing a hat containing a large metal buckle and matching buckle shoes – attempting to drag a late-model, 27” black & white Zenith through the underbrush.

“I saw him but he didn’t see me,” remarked Scrim. “I followed him through the woods until I reached what appeared to be an encampment of approximately, 14-18 individuals (men, women and children) – all dressed as if they had just stepped off The Mayflower.”

“Rather than confront the settlement, I left the scene and returned to The Red Ly’n Inn, just before the second-half kickoff. It wasn’t until the next morning that I pieced things together and realized that something just wasn’t quite right.” exclaimed Mr. Shaw.

Mr. Shaw reported the incident to the local authorities the following morning and led them to what he thought was his point of discovery. Unfortunately, the 8" of snow that had fallen the night before made the search more difficult.

CSI investigator, Liam O’Liam (pictured on the left) is currently developing a Powerpoint presentation based on Scrim’s testimony, for a special event – scheduled for Wednesday at Hal’s Half-Acre Senior Community – located on the site of the former large livestock burial grounds and small pet cemetery. Team bingo will follow O’Liam’s program.

More details to follow, as they become available.
