Facing My Childhood Fear

Give cheer Give a Cheer

Harpers Ferry, WV, is rich with history, including John Browns raid. However, this layout isnt about that history or is it pro or anti-anything. This staycation trip to Harpers Ferry was, in part, to face my childhood fear. When I was 10 or so, we went on a little day excursion to this quaint little town, which was thoroughly enjoyable. The wax museum looked intriguing but my parents, with a very tight budget, hadnt banked on the entrance fee so they bought just one ticket. Seemed harmless enough and I really wanted to go. What no one realized was the wax figures were animated. This was creepy enough with the less violent vignettes.the last vignette, however, was the hanging of John Brown (covered in the photos). Oh my gosh. I remember being completely frozen and unable to move and just crying. Thank goodness there was an older couple who ushered me out the exit to my parents, who were baffled. Fast forward 46 years, I finally went back. Still creepy but the mechanisms have long stopped working. (Whew!).
