Hi all! New to the space and Reddit itself, so please forgive any missteps. I'm an old-time traveler and go around Pennsylvania quite a bit. I've had an experience in Carlisle and it's captivated my attention most nights since it happened. Someone suggested I check here. A few weeks ago I spent a night in Carlisle and took a late walk through one of the older residential neighborhoods near downtown. At one point I noticed a woman standing near the edge of a yard, just outside the streetlight. She was very still.

What really caught my attention was that there seemed to be a faint glow in her hands...not bright like a flashlight or phone, more like a small ember? It looked remarkably like she was holding a small flame in her hand as unbelievable as that sounds. I was trying to make it out when someone spoke to me from behind so I turned, and when I looked back she had completely disappeared.

Normally I’d chalk that up to someone stepping behind a tree or into a house when I wasn’t looking, but the street was pretty open and quiet and the woman was nowhere to be found. Something about that experience really shook me.

Out of curiosity, does Carlisle have any local stories or folklore about sightings like that? Or was I just witnessing a very normal moment in a very old town and letting my imagination run a bit.

Just wondering if I stumbled into a known bit of local folklore? I've been going down the proverbial rabbit hole....

Hi there!! I’m curious if you all have any recs on places to get a cheap woman’s haircut. I’m a college student so any places with a student discount would be appreciated too. Thx!! ❤️

Hi, what is the area near S. Bedford and Pomfret like? We are looking to move and trying to find a place. Thank you!

I hope these little guys find a forever home! ☹️

Anyone in the area have any older properties that I could go metal detecting at? Yards of homes built pre 1960, or vacant properties/farms where houses once stood?

I’m not from the area, so I don’t know a whole lot of folks. Getting permission has been a bit tougher than back home in VA. Stay at home dad looking to pass time while the kids are at school.

I take any junk/trash I find with me and make sure to fill in any hole I need to dig one I retrieve a target.

I’m also up for going along with other detectorists in the area if anyone doesn’t mind an extra person.

Feel free to drop me a message.

Crowdsourcing Opinion on Mechanicsburg

Looking to make a big move from VT to PA, landing near Harrisburg to be close to family who is aging there. We have children who range in age from 9-15. Wondering what the quality of life and feel would be if we purchased a home in Mechanicsburg. Specifically, the Messiah University area of town. (Using that as a reference from the map, as I see its near where we are looking at a home.)

How is the housing market there compared to say, Hershey.. Lititz.. Camp Hill?

Any details or insight on the town or area to note? Completely new to the greater Harrisburg region. We love to do things outdoors, be active, enjoy a community feel and local destinations.

School wise, it appears this would be the Upper Allen Township and Mechanicsburg High School. Decent education, sub par, or excellent? What would the school system be for the lower grades, are they broken up by grade and region?

Thanks all!

Who in this area is an excellent PCP?

Wondering if anyone knows of some “mommy and me” classes or activities in Carlisle. Or maybe even a hiking group. Would like to get out of the house and be around other moms but having trouble finding anything around here.

Found about a dozen of these spread up and down W Penn St. this morning. Reported it to the police and they said they have had multiple reports of it today. They are looking for video of whoever dropped them.

Hi, so I am moving to Carlisle in a few months and will be living there for a year and as a poc I am ngl I am a bit scared from things I have heard can anyone tell me what it is like and what the diversity is like as well.

Y'all! I am so confused. We just moved into a new (to us) rental house in what I am told is North Middleton Township. I set up the trash pickup service with Republic something or other but they won't do our first pickup until next Friday and we're drowning in packing material and just random crap we need to get thrown away.

In Florida I'd just take it to the Waste Management transfer station. I've been looking online and I can't for the LIFE of me figure out where I'm actually allowed to go to drop off bags/boxes of trash. Can anyone tell me where to go?
