Based on an allegedly true story. In the mid-19th century, Matthias Schaumboch and his wife bought a cottage in the Blue Mountains in southeastern Pennsylvania and operated a successful tavern along a road that connected Philadelphia and Reading to northern and western parts of the state. On his deathbed years later, reports claim Matthias confessed to killing as many as 14 people, dismembering their bodies and scattering them through the heavily forested mountain. Since that time, gruesome tales have been handed down through the generations, detailing and perhaps enhancing Matthias’s reign of terror. Today, the peak is known as Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, an internationally famous site that studies and observes raptor migration.
