    I’m born and raised in Williston. Jerry Wilder (deceased), was an active part of Save the Old Armory campaign, and a friend of my dad. He told me of 2 draft horses that were buried in the basement, while excavating the swimming pool. They hit quicksand, sank, and couldn’t retrieve them. As far as ghosts, never had any encounters, but always felt a strange presence there. I played basketball their e in grade school; sang for a performance with the Barbershop singers.
