My neighbor hated the holidays and the town we live in

OFFENSIVE holiday decorations put up by a grumpy Pennsylvania resident once caused neighbors to live a nightmare year-round.

Bill Ansell was a Ross Township electrician whose grudge with one neighbor resulted in years of retaliation in the form of raunchy Christmas decorations.

It all started when Ansell's neighbor complained about his blinding Thanksgiving display years ago, with ABC's 20/20 reporting on the matter in 2014.

From there, a neighborhood war ensued.

“It was very unpleasant between us after that,” Pamela Heck told 20/20 at the time.

Neighbors claimed that Ansell began going out of his way to terrorize them by doing things like making loud noises in the early morning hours and shining floodlights through their windows.

What seemed to be the main concern for homeowners on Fairley Road was Ansell's repugnant Christmas display.

Headless carolers stood on the side yard, Santa Claus urinated on a string of lights and the beloved Mickey Mouse was seen hanging, according to footage shown on ABC's 20/20.

Ansell's home also sported a considerable amount of vulgar signs, according to his neighbors.

"WARNING: Ross Township or anyone else do not enter or touch anything on this property," one read.

"If you do, there will be bloodshed. Only then will the corruption end."

Another said: “This display is dedicated to Ross Township. Shame on you for destroying my display that brought so much joy and happiness to so many people.”

Ansell who once had an impressive holiday display that attracted many people told WPXI-TV: “I used to have a beautiful Christmas display, they hated it. This is my display now."

"I don't think it's against the law to exercise your right to have your own display," he stated.

Fairley Road residents claimed that serious action hadn't been taken against Mr. Ansell despite their recurrent complaints to the police and Board of Commissioners, according to ABC News.

In May of 2013, a district judge fined Ansell $1,250 after he didn't fully comply to a court order to remove the out-of-season display.

Ansell chose to take down the signs, but not the display, reported a CBS news affiliate.

In 2014, a court order by the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania instructing Ansell to remove his signage and offensive décor went ignored by the electrician.

The town also fined Ansell for the chaos on his property.

In 2016, CBS News reported that a large flashing sign outside Ansell's property had been turned off.

The sign read "[expletive] Ross Township."

Neighbors said it being turned off was a victory at the time.

The U.S. Sun could not find a record of Ansell continuing to post the signs and decorations after that.

At the time, former neighbors Joanne and Chris Hebda later took matters into their own hands and decided to move out of the cul-de-sac.

“It's a move for, you know, for our lives... to have normalcy again,” Joanne told ABC News.
