Harrodsburg Again

I'm following up on an earlier post which showed an L&N freight meeting an Amtrak Floridian at Harrodsburg, Indiana, on the former Monon Railroad. I realized that I tried to shoot a similar view looking south along the right-of-way there forty-five years later—just had to spend some time digging it up.

There was evidence of a two-track on the abandoned roadbed toward the south, but I really could not make out where the bridge had been over Clear Creek just a stone's throw to the north—as it is now hidden in dense foliage.

Views made December 3rd 1976 and September 28th 2021.

Let’s Talk About It... - August 29th, 2022

In our culture there are topics that people often find difficult to talk about. Parents could certainly make a list of the difficult topics they struggle to know how to broach. There is even some concern that by talking about difficult topics that we are planting a seed or the idea and that could in some way be harmful to our children. While it is important to always consider a child’s age and developmental level, it is equally important to educate and communicate with our youth, even when the topic up for discussion is difficult. In this blog, I will discuss suicide prevention measures and why it is so important. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for our youth. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, nearly 20% of high-school students report serious thoughts of suicide and as many as 9% have made an attempt. Adolescents are vulnerable for many reasons, including their developmental level and social stressors.

Because teens are often influenced by other teens it is important to teach young people how to recognize warning signs (clues) that a person considering suicide may display. The following list provides examples of warning signs that our youth should be able to recognize:  

Loss of interest/pleasure in activities

Giving away possessions

Dropping hints/clues that you may not be here very much longer

Expressing desire to die or not be a burden to others

Expressing feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or having no reasons to live

Suicidal behaviors that may include making a plan and/or doing something in preparation of ending one’s life

Change in behaviors, such as being risky

Using drugs or alcohol

Situational Clues – change in living situation, lose a job, failing in school, break-up, parents are divorcing, etc.

Equally important is helping youth know how to respond if they begin to pick up on ‘clues’ from their friends. If you recognize warning signs it is important that you TALK ABOUT IT. Asking someone if they are contemplating ending their life will NOT harm the person. If you cannot find the words and feel too uncomfortable then find someone else to ask. How you ask doesn’t matter, what matters is that you ASK.

Teaching your teen about the prevalence of suicide and how to respond if they or someone they care about is considering ending their life could be a LIFE-SAVING LESSON. Reminding teens that problems are temporary and can be solved, no matter how difficult they may seem can give teens HOPE. Talking about difficult topics, like Teen Suicide can give youth the tools they need to preserve LIFE.

Meet at Harrodsburg

Here we see a southbound Amtrak Floridian passing a northbound Louisville & Nashville freight "in the hole" at the north end of Harrodsburg Siding. This is the former Monon, which had been absorbed by the L&N six years earlier.

The Amtrak train is powered by SDP40Fs (using steam to heat the cars) while the lead locomotive on the freight is a GP38-2 built for the L&N in 1972.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken December 3rd 1976.

Why Therapy? - December 18th, 2022

Although there can be a stigma associated with paying an individual to listen to you, therapy actually has the potential to do wonders for a person’s mental health and overall sense of well-being.

In 2020, the National Institute of Mental Health estimated that approximately 52.9 million adults in the United States have a mental illness. Among these 52.9 million adults, 46.2% of them sought out mental health services. But WHY were all these people willing to pay mental health professionals for their services? The American Psychological Association (APA) suggests several reasons:

Mental health counseling can be an effective approach for treating an array of mental and behavioral health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

The benefits of mental health counseling extend beyond the counseling session and even after the conclusion of one’s counseling services. For example, an individual with anxiety may learn coping exercises in-session to practice outside of the counseling room in their everyday lives. Another example would be an individual who wants help learning how to appropriately confront a boss at work. This client’s therapist could lead the client in a series of role-playing scenarios that the client could then practice out-side of the counseling session before confronting their boss.

Individuals who pursue mental health counseling typically do not experience harmful side effects. While it is true that verbalizing suppressed feelings and negative experiences can cause temporary unpleasant feelings, verbalizing one’s past hurts may be the gateway to healing and for finding the proper resources. For example, think of a student who was utilizing therapy with the purpose of increasing their self-esteem. After several sessions without much progress, this student disclosed to their therapist that they were being mistreated at school (ie. the negative experience), which in turn gave the therapist the opportunity to help their client be an advocate for themselves. 


In addition to these reasons, counselors and therapists are trained professionals who are required to uphold certain ethical standards on behalf of their clients. Among these ethical standards is the concept of confidentiality. The counselor pledges to not disclose their clients’ name or identifying information with others, unless mandated to do so by the law. Counselors are trustworthy individuals who seek to serve their clients to the best of their abilities.

Harrodsburg Springs Park

A gravestone in the Harrodsburg public park, dedicated to a young woman-name unknown-bears this simple but chilling couplet:

HALLOWED AND HUSHED BT THE PLACE OF THE DEAD. STEP SOFTLY. BOW HEAD.

The bits and pieces of her story are sketchy, but what is known is that she drifted into town in the late nineteenth century and checked in to the Graham Springs Hotel (later called the Harrodsburg Springs Hotel), which once stood where the park exists today. During a dance held that night, she came down from her room to take part in it, dancing with many men and generally being the life of the party. As we customary for most dances at this time, the lights were dimmed during most of the evening's festivities.

At the end of the evening, when the lights came back, the man she had been dancing with found she was dead in his arms. An attempt to notify her next of kin was fruitless, as it was determined she had checked in to the hotel using a falsified name (Virginia Stafford) and information. For some reason, rather than taking the Jane Doe to the nearest cemetery, she was buried right in the hotel's backyard. Even by nineteenth-century standards, displaying the graves of your unexplainably dead tenants on the lawn wasn't exactly good PR!

Then came a mysterious fire, which completely destroyed the building in the 1920s. The hotel's fiery end has been often attributed to the unknown dead woman's ghost. An unfortunately popular embellishment to the tale is to claim that the fire occurred "one hundred years to the day" of her death, which is not only impossible if you do the math, but presumes to known the date she died, which has not been determined.

If the woman's ghost was already haunting the premises between her death and the fire, we have no knowledge of it. But shortly after the hotel was immolated, reports starting popping up of people seeing the ghostly figure of a woman dancing in the area of her grave and the nearby springhouse. Once the park was established on the grounds and more people had a reason to be there, the sightings dramatically increased, making it one of the more popular and enduring ghost legends of Kentucky.

You can visit the park and its phantasmal guest by heading out Highway 63 in Monroe County. Ask a local if you can't find it; practically everyone there knows the ghostly tale.
