The Laughing Scarecrow

Indiana · USA · Bridge

Mostly around harvest time, a figure shaped like a scarecrow comes out of the woods south of the 116.

Very little is known about this one, which the original account admits straight away.

South of Route 116 in Jay County, Indiana, off a country road, there are woods. At no fixed time, but mostly during and around the harvest, a figure comes out of them.

It is shaped like a scarecrow, and it laughs.

That is the entire report, and it belongs to a small category in this archive of things that are not people, are not animals, and are not attached to any death. Nobody claims to know what it is or why it is there.

Harvest is the detail worth holding onto. Eastern Indiana is corn country, the fields stand head high until they are cut, and the weeks when the combines come out are the weeks when the landscape changes completely and the woods become visible again.

The roads are public and the fields are private farmland.
