| "I lived right next to Baldwin's farm, was at the fire when I was 4, saw the charred cow, and others that survived milled about the farms for years to come with terrible burns on their sides, like giant walking t-bone steaks. I know who burned down the main house years later, after the farmer died. I know who found the farmer dead, layed out in a cross shape in front of the front porch, eyes open, gone. I used to feel something looking at me from the window that was on the third floor of the house, facing west, which I could see from my bathroom window, a dark hole of terror, I went in the house, cluttered with went into the mansion at 13, scared, Love Lane, the slaughter houses, the church that was trashed, saw a car off the road once, and the best is probably when I was maybe 13 or 14, walking past the small graveyard, jumped up on the wall, and saw in horror (at 14) the empty freshly dug pit that contained Mary Buckhout's coffin, stolen, with two shovels left behind. She had a stone up there, and they were all knocked over. . I think it was in the now defunct Reporter Dispatch about the grave robbing. Other things are two giant staircases near silver lake accessible by following the path that starts at the slave cemetery. . There is another cave out there with a caved in roof. Cave meaning those revolutionary caves. The church was down a path, at an entrance that lead to Love Lane, where the slaughter houses were, it was a wooded church, with maybe five pew rows, the myth was an old lady hanged herself there. There was a 2 pillar entrance, not the one by the grave yard, for years this entrance had a pile of dirt in it, then you go in and follow for a while and came into this (in the 80's) abandoned world, some shack like joints, church, a small lake with a castle like lookout post in the middle of it (which I think functioned as some kind of water drainage device or some other water based mechanism, but it is made of stone, and the slaughter houses (empty) and phone lines and signs of a twilight zone like community gone awry was abound. Now, the interesting thing is by entering this area via Old Lake Street there is an entrance about 100 yards up from where an old red school house is, this is the entrance to some million dollar complex, and it is rebuilt with the layout of streets and those corny million dollar homes that go with it, but upon investigation in 1999, up in that neighborhood, I spotted the lake with the castle turret thing, and realized that whole community was built upon a former zone of death . And none of those residents know it, like a poltergeist type of thing. I mean, it's possible someone's house was built upon the spot where the church was, basing it upon the layout of the streets in relation to where the turret pound is and on how much I can remember where the locations of the other buildings were. I'm sure the developers didn't tell prospective buyers what went down before, though it could be just chalked up to superstition, but as you know, the area is rife with myths, all death like" - RICK |
