Goshen Falls

Goshen Falls is a town featured in the fifty-third Goosebumps book, Chicken Chicken.

History
When Crystal was four years old, her parents—two computer programmers—moved their family to the small farm town of Goshen Falls. Crystal's parents own chickens, which Crystal hates.

Crystal describes Goshen Falls as tiny, saying there's nowhere to go at nights. Even though she describes the entire town as "three blocks long", it is unclear if she's literally referring to the entire town or just Main Street, the most central part of the neighborhood where the businesses are located.

While it's never stated explicitly, the reader is informed that the story takes place in Ohio; at the protagonist's school, they sing Ohio's state song, "Beautiful Ohio."

Trivia

 * R.L. Stine grew up in Ohio, which might explain why Chicken Chicken is set there.
 * The town's grocery store, Pic ’n’ Pay, is likely named after the real-life Pick-N-Pay Supermarkets chain, which was exclusive to Ohio. While Pick-N-Pay Supermarkets existed when Stine was young, the chain was sold off before this book was written.
