Many of us have taken an adventurous expedition to check out some
local, notorious spot to see if we could witness or sense some
evidence of a past famous or infamous incident. Most of the time,
one only returns with a minor anecdote or pictures of an ordinary
location bereft of anything noteworthy. The more realistic
purpose is not so much to find a ghoulish memento but to imagine
what it must've been like to have been there when it happened.
But what if such an outing starts with strange coincidences and
ends with the adventurers enduring a paranormal event seemingly
unrelated to the original incident? This is the sort of tale
we'll hear from our good friend, graphic designer, and
illustrator Tommy Beaver about the time some friends went to
check out the scene of a horrific crime that happened in
Summerfield, North Carolina, almost 13 miles northwest of
Greensboro. On June 3, 1985, the incident in question occurred
when at the end of a murder spree and police pursuit, Fritz
Klenner and his first cousin, lover, and accomplice, Susie
Newsome Lynch, ended their standoff detonating a bomb in their
Chevrolet Blazer. Klenner and Lynch had blown themselves up along
with Lynch's already deceased two sons who were in the vehicle
rather than face arrest. The site of this shocking finale was
what the friends were hoping to explore, but their souvenir was
an unsettling experience they'll never forget. Strangely, a
mysterious white horse suddenly appeared to encounter the group,
except that this creature may not have been a horse at all. Many
people have claimed to see a spectral white horse, and the
ancient Britons believed a sacred white horse was one's ride to
the afterlife. Yet these friends may forever wonder, as will we,
what was the connection of this beast to the tragedy if there is
one? And if this wasn't a horse as we know it, what sort of
monster haunts the location of one of North Carolina's most
ghastly crimes?
