SSJTWIZTA Wow you managed to dig up some pics! I was going to go looking because I couldn't quite picture how it might have looked. Pretty spiff.

Willravel Well hot damn thanks for posting more *reads* LOVE IT! But may I also add Damn you Will, I need more too! Good stuff I really enjoyed reading it. Now personally I'd have taken the weed, you know just to steady the old nerves before going back after the stoners.

Alright...damn I've been busy this week, I wanted to post a few stories myself but never seem to have the time. I think I can squeeze one in tonight though.

Another from my youth it revolves around a high school wrestling coach who murdered his family. According to the story, sometime in the late 70's the coach just snapped, grabbed a shot gun and shot his wife and 2 kids while they slept (never understood how a shot gun wouldn't wake up the whole house but anyway), lit the house on fire and hung himself from a door way with his belt. As far as I kow that part is 100% true but it seems to have sparked a lot of bizarre legends.

The most prominent I've heard was the house was built over some kind of portal to hell (no really I'm not kidding) and caused the coach, who had always been the nicest guy you'd meet (or so the story always seems to tell us), to murder his family as some kind of offering to Satan. The old foundation is still there and sits at the end of an old dirt road out in the woods, I've been there myself and at night it is pretty creepy, but so are most burned out foundations you find in the woods. Anyway the story goes that if you go up there on a full moon and fire a shot into the sky to mimic the murders, the gates of hell will open up, the coach will appear and drag you down to Hades. Needless to say this story has caused MANY serious injuries to drunken teenagers over the years, it go so bad around the late 80's that the police had blocked off the road and threatened to arrest anyone who went there. I still remember reading the stories in the local paper.

Other variations I've heard are an Indian burial ground that follows pretty much the same legend as above just tweaked a bit. But the most bizarre (yup it gets worse) was the lesser told story that the coach had faked his own death, built a series of elaborate tunnels (or rooms depending on who tells it) beneath the old house and put together his own little society of nocturnal cannibals that came out at night to feed on anybody stupid enough to go out there and try out the above legend (yup the cannibals invented their own little piece of disinformation to lure in unsuspecting victims). Supposedly there was a trap door they hid beneath and when the person was holding the gun up to shoot they'd spring up, overpower him and drag him below for some kind of full moon flesh eating ritual. For years I always wanted to go up there with a shovel...but I never did...I wished I had though, because honestly such a bizarre story HAS to have a grain of truth behind it...

...or the people in my town did WAY to many drugs.
