Hoop Snakes Spark a Local Debate in Milford Pa
An old Milford settler defends the belief in hoop snakes amid a town discussion. He recounts family legends of hoop snakes on Rocky Hill, describes traps and gruesome lore, and ties the creature to local deer and groun' hog dynamics. He claims hoopers are dangerous and nearly immortal, yet his tale explains how a ground hog’s presence revealed their vulnerability.
