The York Daily 11-16-1877 Is it a Spook? For a week or more past, a man appeared to be hovering about in the rear of residences on north Duke street, in the neighborhood of Farquhar's Agricultural Works. He has been shot at, throwed at and grabbed at-but that was all. Ten days ago he was first seen.

The Bottstown Spook that has been troubling the citizens of that vicinity for some days, which was several times briefly noticed in recent issues of the Daily and which even was alluded to in a sermon on Sunday by one of our town ministers, has turned out we are informed to be an owl.

The York Gazette 12-03-1879
The "spook" story, which was represented to have occurred near this place, as lately published in different papers in this county, is exploded like all such stories. The "spook" in this case proved to be a drunken Irish woman.
