Joshua Zeman:
And right here, this is Sea View, the TB wards. Our camp counselors would lead us down this path and they'd come out of the buildings and scare us. You know, this is where we thought that Cropsey lived, in the basements, down in here, and in these other buildings. And you know we used to walk through here and we'd find beds and papers of people who had died here, so it kind of made sense to us

Our camp counselors would lead
00:00:02.722 --> 00:00:04.554
us down this path, and they'd
00:00:04.556 --> 00:00:06.389
come out of the buildings and
00:00:06.391 --> 00:00:09.086
scare us.
00:00:09.862 --> 00:00:11.361
You know, this is where we
00:00:11.363 --> 00:00:13.197
thought that Cropsey lived... in
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:14.998
the basements down in here and
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.466
in these other buildings.
00:00:16.468 --> 00:00:18.168
And, you know, we used to walk
00:00:18.017 --> 00:00:20.437
through here, and you'd find
00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:22.773
beds and papers of people who
00:00:22.775 --> 00:00:24.041
had died here.
00:00:24.999 --> 00:00:26.376
So, you know, it kind of made
00:00:26.378 --> 00:00:28.946
sense to us.
00:00:29.028 --> 00:00:31.782
"Cropsey," for some reason,
00:00:31.916 --> 00:00:34.351
became the generic term for a
00:00:34.485 --> 00:00:37.121
maniac in boy scout camps up and
00:00:37.255 --> 00:00:41.925
down the Hudson river region of
00:00:42.002 --> 00:00:43.293
New York state.
00:00:43.628 --> 00:00:49.599
So it would've made perfect sense for a story
about a maniac who was hiding out in the
00:00:49.601 --> 00:00:51.101
woods and who abducted and
00:00:51.103 --> 00:00:52.669
killed little children to be
00:00:52.671 --> 00:00:53.637
called Cropsey.
00:00:53.639 --> 00:00:55.338
First learned about Cropsey
00:00:55.034 --> 00:00:56.306
in summer camp.
00:00:56.308 --> 00:00:57.044
He was a doctor.
00:00:57.442 --> 00:00:59.002
He was supposed to have a
00:00:59.997 --> 00:00:59.509
hook.
00:00:59.511 --> 00:01:01.245
With a knife about this big.
00:01:01.247 --> 00:01:02.846
And he was an ax-wielding
00:01:02.848 --> 00:01:03.513
madman.
00:01:03.515 --> 00:01:05.999
The wife was killed.
00:01:05.117 --> 00:01:06.999
He was being chased or
00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:07.055
taunted.
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:08.852
He wanted kids.
00:01:08.854 --> 00:01:11.855
And he would find them and...
00:01:11.857 --> 00:01:13.857
He would hack you up.
00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:14.758
...chop 'em up.
00:01:14.001 --> 00:01:16.426
