Keeping the Christmas Spirit year 'round...

Homeowners on Fairley Road in Ross Township, Pennsylvania, say their
neighbor Bill Ansell is terrorizing them year round with his hostile
anti-Christmas spirit.
"Any opportunity he has to make our life a hardship, he does," resident
Chris Hebda told ABC News' "20/20."
"He's an angry person that's very unstable," resident Pamela Heck told
"20/20."

Ansell, an electrician, has a display on his yard that features a beheaded
choir, a hanging Mickey Mouse and even a urinating Santa Claus that lights
up at night.

Neighbors Chris and Joanne Hebda said they have had to stare at the
unpleasant decorations for the past six years. Fairley Road is a unique
cul-de-sac; a circular street with Ansell's house right in the middle,
surrounded by six other homes. That makes it hard to avoid his handiwork.

"There was a Virgin Mary here, and he placed a knife through her head, right
there on the edge of our driveway," Joanne Hebda told "20/20." "I thought it
was a terroristic threat."

To make matters worse, his neighbors said, Ansell also tacked up profane
signs all over his house attacking the township and neighbors personally.

The worst sign, the neighbors said, included disparaging remarks about
neighbor Tom White's late wife, posted the day after she died.

"Why would somebody even do that?" White told "20/20."

One sign on Ansell's home may offer a clue as to why. It says, "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."

Years ago, Ansell's home was known for its lustrous lights and dazzling
display that attracted many onlookers.

But one Thanksgiving, Ansell's neighbor Pamela Heck was so blinded by the
lights that she asked him to turn them off while her family had dinner.

"It was very unpleasant between us after that," Heck told "20/20."

From that minor dispute grew a war, according to neighbors. At night, they
say he blasts floodlights into their windows.
