The Legend of the Hooker Brothers: A Local Legend of New London, Ohio
What would you think if, right in your own hometown, someone who never hurt anyone was brutally murdered for their money? Back in 1974, that happened not too far from the quiet village of New London, Ohio. Joseph and Edward Hooker, two wealthy brothers who lived just outside of town, were murdered in their home. Of course, legends surrounding the brothers and their murder were bound to surface within thirty years of the incident. Some people believe that the spirits of the brothers still guard their land and the remainder of their money, if any exists, while others are still too shocked that such a thing could have happened in their little town to even consider such legends. This was the worst murder ever to occur in the little village of New London so naturally the story became a local legend of sorts, but do the rumors of hauntings and hidden treasure hold any merit?
