Recently, I took a flight to the town of Summertown (Tennessee, USA).
I’d heard of reports about a house that mysteriously only appears in the month of October. It sits on a nearby hill, typically surrounded by dead grass and perhaps a rabbit’s burrow or two.
It’s practically a wasteland of weeds and mud.
However, come October 1st and overnight when no one’s watching, the field grows into a corn maze. And at the end?
A two floor hour, seemingly dilapidated and disowned. It seems barren and empty apart from a small candle light in a window. However, the owner of this estate isn’t listed in any records, and hasn’t been spotted by those in the neighbourhood.
At one point it became a spot where teens went at Halloween to throw raves and parties but all that went wouldn’t be seen again. Local police have investigated the area, but all that’s left is usually a stereo and an empty keg of beer.
They haven’t dared set foot in the house itself, or figure out who owns it.
It seems to just be a rule of the town to not set foot near the building despite some still not listening. Last year for instance, 2 girls (Sabrina Gates and Willow Esther) went up to the house with a boy 2 years their junior called Thomas Brooks.
No remains were found apart from Thomas’s phone, with a cracked screen and damaged hardware between a split floorboard at the entrance.
I thought it would be wise to investigate, given the nature of my site.
I checked local records and found that the house in question existed in 1932, under the ownership of Damien Thorn. A (at the time) 19 year old with an interest in woodwork and engineering.
He died 7 months after the house was built, found in his workshop out at back.
It was done by one of his own machines although it seemed more like an accident than a suicide.
From looking through the windows of the house from a hill across from it, I looked inside the house to see string connecting images on a wooden pinboard, although they were black and white and slightly ripped.
Next to it, a desk with a wooden chair that had a broken back. To the right of the bottom floor, was presumably a living room although from where I looked in all i saw was a bench with one leg snapped and some paint cans.
No one really knows what’s inside but apparently before his death, Damien was planning a Haunted House for the local town.
This is only speculation (although it isn’t unlikely considering the matter at hand of a disappearing house) but some believe that each year it appears and those who visit go through a haunted house of which rather than scares or tricks, are traps that result in death.
It would explain the missing persons cases.
Angela Thorpe, 1952, dismembered arm found in the local forest – a clean cut as if done by a quick, sharp blade.
Ben Axle, 1967, head found with no body and no eyes.
These files seemed more like something you’d see out of a Saw movie than reality, but yet here we are.
Since the disappearances last year, the field in question has been surrounded in police tape. Sadly this won’t stop everyone but it is at least somewhat of a precaution.
I’ll update you if I find any more information on the topic, but for now this case is unsolved.
Notice: I hope I don’t have to explain this, however just incase, this is a fictional news site and does not portray real life events.
