The Schoharie
A volunteer firefighter of Native American descent must convince a small town sheriff with a grudge that a vengeful Indian spirit is bent on destroying their town with the flood waters of a nearby creek. Inspired by the actual Schoharie Creek bridge collapse of 1987. Now available as a novel.
And give it does, when a thruway bridge that spans the Schoharie Creek collapses from the force of all that water. The event sends the town into a tailspin - especially Aaron Bonner, a young volunteer firefighter of American Indian descent, who swears he saw an Indian in traditional dress and warpaint blocking his way on the thruway bridge just moments before its collapse.
Nobody else seems to have seen him, and as rescue and recovery efforts get under way, Aaron finds himself haunted by the ghosts of the collapse victims as this same Indian spirit claims their souls with scalps and fetishes.
As Aaron tries to investigate the strange goings on, the town itself seems to become the victim of extremely short tempers, suspicion and revenge. And the town sheriff has his eye on Aaron, who is dating his not yet divorced daughter. Aaron's erratic behavior is enough for the sheriff to investigate him, and together, they eventually uncover the truth behind the Indian spirit who seeks revenge on their town.
