Macabre Doings On Bly Hollow Road
by Kieron Kramer
This spring some perverse person or persons nailed 13 Barbie Dolls to utility poles on Bly Hollow Road in Cherry Plain. The dolls, all female, all new, were nailed through their belly buttons about seven feet up the poles. Two of the dolls were black, and one of the black dolls had its legs cut off.
