Creepy stuff and corruption where no one can find you. (r/AskReddit)

welcome to another episode of our slash ask reddit serious redditors who live in secluded towns what is the darkest thing that happened in your town but is kept secret my mom told me this story once that back when she was growing up in a small farming community in Ohio there was some kind of neighborhood party attended by a bunch of families with kids all around the same age all the kids including herself had this like big slumber party in the basement they wake up the next morning and one of the kids is found in the middle of the road having been hit with a truck but with his whole body zipped all the way up in his sleeping bag none of the kids owned up to doing and did the adults could never figure it out either after awhile people just started moving on with their lives and everyone pretty much forgot about it I wouldn't say we live in a secluded town but when my mother was in school her best friend got a job working for the sheriff she later came to school and told them that the sheriff had been molesting her she also began telling people about what they have been using the tunnels under the town for the police supposedly had been filming child pornography after that day she never made it home she was found later naked hogtied and shot in the back of the head no one could prove it and the sheriff had been suspected of many things but nothing ever came of it they just announced that there was a man seen in a white van abducting people but her friends knew her family knows this is Red Bluff California bTW the tunnels were originally used by Chinese immigrants they go through our main street and through Riyaz Street they led to houses and some businesses but they have been condemned there are sensors down there though so if you get in the police are right there to get you out edit the little girl's name was Rachelle ward and the sheriff supposedly responsible was Koenig but he died years back of old age a cop was a child molester and it was widely known he went with a group hunting in the woods and never came back not that I mind but what was he thinking going Group hunting into the woods despite being widely known as a pedo must have been suicidal a father held his wife at gunpoint and threatened to shoot her in the head until their seven-year-old daughter went on a wild police chase he still lives in the town there also was another dad who abused his wife and their children still lives here as well several young boys aged nine eleven went missing in the village and it was suspected that a group of boys from the same school were responsible they were heard talking about it on two occasions about how they kill whoever they don't like however their parents apparently attested that they never let them out of sight outside of school hours this group of kids was known for skipping school to sniff glue and and drink alcohol bTW but their parents obviously denied it only one of the six missing kids was ever found in a creek with injuries like he was stoned to death police said he fell down the creek accidentally though this was about 20 years ago in Europe bTW nothing with me but when my mom was a kid she lived near a state park in New Hampshire it's called bear Brook in the 80s multiple dismembered body parts were found in a blue barrel an investigation happened but the killer was never found in the early zeros another barrel was found dating back to the time of the first barrel the killer was recently found his name was Robert Evans the park is in Allenstown if you want to look it up in the 80s and early 90s my town was run completely by dirty cops drugs were run by the cops and people who didn't do as they were told would go mysteriously missing and eventually most of them wind up dead it took the feds to clean the place up and install a new set of clean cops edit I've been getting a lot of questions about the Copland movie I've never seen it but I googled it and no it's not there I'm not gonna say the town name of where I'm from because it's and everyone knows everyone one of town but I'm from a small town in California and still liver this all happened before my time and I was told about it by people who lived through it my best friend's dad being one of them my town isn't very secluded but I think this still works so there is this building that used to be a hotel and one day this guy shows up and he takes multiple trips going in and out with a bunch of equipment they found him a little while later in his room he had assembled an entire guillotine and cut his head off well that's the first time I've ever done the mildly impressed how to a suicide story it's still happening in my town this specific event happened directly in my gated neighborhood a member of a Russian gang got his house shot up before they went inside to finish the job my wife saw them drag out the body organized crime bosses live in my town in the two neighboring towns I live in NJ edit get and asked a lot about where exactly Millburn westfield sure fills Springfield I live in one of those towns that's all I feel comfortable saying lol a family friend was super drunk he was walking home and fell unconscious of the road at the bottom of a hill another family friend small town so we all knew each other was driving home late he heard a thump and a crunch where he went over a hill he got out of the car thinking he hit a woman or something he instead found his friend dead everyone decided to forget what he did because it really wasn't his fault there was no way he could have seen him asleep at the bottom on the hill in the middle of the road it was at such an angle that the headlights didn't spot him it's a bit weird this has come up because I drove past a super drunk dude just a few hours ago on my way home from work he was drunk and stumbling on the road he fell over and lost her thong flip flopped - you Americans I called the police and told them they said they'd pick him up and take him home where he would be safe didn't want a repeat of what happened back in my hometown to happen to that random drunk guy small town of about 2,000 to 2,500 in the Midwest when suddenly about one stroke fourth of the population just up and left no word no nothing none of them had kids or extended family and none of the papers said anything about it this was back in maybe the late 80s this happened when I was pretty young but I just remember one day one of my teachers wasn't there and I found out from my parents a ton of people had just left overnight most personal belongings were taken with them but mattresses and furniture was still in their houses I still have no clue what that was about and when I've asked my parents more recently they said the rumor around town was that all those people worked for the CIA or FBI and were reassigned all of a sudden over the summer there was the guy found hanging from a tree on the sheriff's property the sheriff disliked this young man and treated him poorly during his incarceration at the county jail many witnesses said that the day he got released from jail the sheriff invited him to his secluded property and told him he could help him get back on his feet two days later a couple of teenage boys fishing in a creek discovered the guy hanging in a tree authorities was notified no investigation was done and it was immediately ruled as suicide this boy was a known drug addict with no family or friends so there was really no one to press the issue the local news wrote a small article on man found dead from our parents suicide and then it was hush-hush after that it's just one of those things we will never know that is Zuber duck top the daughter of divorced parents was raped to death by the mother's boyfriend she was 6 her father was contacting CPS and presenting evidence that the man was abusing his daughter under her mother's care nothing was done about him until she was life flighted to Salt Lake where she died of her wounds and early in the investigation the mother admitted to letting her boyfriend play with her the worst part is is that because the abuse a / murderer was part of the tribe all he had to do was stay on tribal lands to not be taken into custody so while the long process of an FBI investigation and the FBI jumping the correct Hoops to make an arrest on tribal land this man walked freely as long as he was on the reservation most people rejected the abuse a / murderer entirely but what hurt more is seeing the people who went out of their way to help him his family tried to open a food truck where the highway passes through the res so he could have a job it turned a large protest considering the size of the town and few out-of-towners stopped for tacos so they fortunately had to shut down the man's cousin was chief so he was given a job in the dispensary some other members of the tribe who worked there walked out on the job and went to the council to try and stop it fortunately as of now the FBI has taken the mother and boyfriend into custody and they're awaiting trial I've been called for jury duty twice now and it's being canceled each time not far from where my parents grew up is the town of Skidmore Mo which is honestly a supremely ducked up place of weird sinister stuff the most commonly known incident is from the 1980s when Ken McElroy was shot to death while sitting in his truck with his wife in front of the pool hall in town in broad daylight there were dozens of witnesses who saw the shooting which came from multiple firearms but they denied seeing the shooting or who may have been responsible the news stories from the time sort of painted McIlroy as a town bully almost like Biff from Back to the Future except he was a ducking violent monster who had beaten figuratively and literally over a dozen charges including theft and rape of a minor remember his wife yep she was one of the no rape victims and carried Ken's child at 14 and other general violent acts leading up to his town sanctioned execution he had the gall to appeal a two-year sentence for shooting a geriatric grocer in the neck with a shotgun and nearly decapitated him so why did he do it because the grocer asked Ken's daughter to put back a piece of candy she hadn't paid for people appeared fed up with this rampaging six feet five 270-pound thug who thought he could get away with rape and wanton violence so somebody or a group of somebody shot him at least twice and emptied quite a few rounds into his truck no witnesses and even his wife who was in the truck refused to identify the shooter yes coal mine country PA lots of stuff happens guy was molesting his daughter and her friend went to jail for a few years when he came back his house mysteriously burned to the ground a minute another guy got caught selling crack to a couple of local kids yes I'm that old he was found in the middle of the street having been run over by a large vehicle repeatedly a woman stole some jewelry from her elderly neighbor she lost her hand in an unknown accident guy beat his wife he left town with two hands that were destroyed by a ball-peen hammer teenage girl killed another girl's dog over a boyfriend now she sports a nasty scar across her face and his missing and I that and lots of smaller stuff justice is handled locally about 5060 years ago my neighbor's grandfather chased away all minorities from our village he set their houses on fire and destroyed the properties they left behind so they never came back there are very few minorities in my village to this day even tough that guy is long dead his grandson is married to the only doctor here Andy's a great neighbor eta this got way more attention that I expected so I'll try to clarify some things this happened in Hungary and I don't know of any other similar cases here the town's nearby have Nautica Blee more minorities and it got me thinking why our village has only two gypsy families when I asked my grandma about this she told me this story but little else about it she asked me not to tell this to anyone because only the elders know about it and some of them denied ever happened apparently my neighbours grandfather let's call him J was one of the loudest against the minorities mostly gypsies and he decided they had to go so one night he said their houses on fire and they left to be fair I highly doubt this was done by a single person over just one night it's important to note that my grandmother was a child when this all happened so she might remember some details wrongly and since nobody has ever talked about J's attack I can't confirm what exactly happened I for myself think that 2030 families can't be thrown out like this overnight so there are definitely some things that just don't add up I hope this helps to understand it all a bit better and feel free to ask more the doctor who tried all these wacky treatments to sate his young patient from tuberculosis and became infatuated with her after she died he eventually her grave mummified her and lived with her body for seven years before being found out did not go to jail and lived his years out in town I believe everyone knows about the fun part of Centralia par the spooky mind fire the ghost town etc what most don't know about was how divided the town became and how they ganged up on the kid who fell in tot how they harassed him and accused him of lying for political gains he was just a little kid who suffered a near-death experience and his own neighbors started a smear campaign against him not so much a dark secret but my town houses of bombing range that is still in use no one has ever made anyone who works on it no kids at school ever parents who work there we never see planes or anything but there is a guard at the gate what was truly odd is that if you ask a resident about it we all say the same thing oh the bombing range there's nothing out there in Mom's suicide hometown there's a decommissioned lighthouse offshore even though utilities to the lighthouse have long been disconnected and the building locked residents have noticed the beacon 10 on at late hours of the night just for a few minutes and then mysteriously grow dark again it happens so infrequently that the time of illumination can't be predicted as I once described here no one has figured out how why this happens I returned home from school one day to a very powerful smell of gasoline throughout my neighborhood and every emergency responder around town had it was later found that a father of three little girls who wasn't living there tucked all three girls into bed and slit their throats he gained access to the house by dismissing the babysitter he then tried to blow the place up by flooding the basement with gasoline and calling the mom telling her come home I've heard the girls thankfully the mom went to authorities instead if he was successful my house would have blown as well the father turned himself in and has been in prison ever since the daughters were memorialized with a playground in the house has been torn down I'm not sure what happened to the mom but I've heard here and there that she has found peace in a new town edit to address the off-topic Ness I was reading posts when I decided to chime in with this story and the kept secret part slipped my mind honest hoops was going to remove but lots of people were already curious I lived in a town of like 5,000 the only secret is the whole system is corrupt one police officer got caught stealing painkillers basically got a reduced and deferred misdemeanor so in like three months it was off his record and back to being a cop a cop's son lost it one night got in a fight with his girlfriend at the bar my best friend was the bartender and kicked him out 20 minutes later he is outside putting holes into the bar with a semi-auto amazingly nobody got hit the cops son also got his charges reduced from basically attempted mass shooting to discharging a firearm within city limits I don't think that's even a misdemeanor there's so much more but the gist is corrupt people run the paper the police station in the court if you're in this circle you can do whatever you want and if you're me you will get sentenced to one year in prison for one gram of weed I got the duck out like ten years ago this is probably fairly common in small and isolated areas all over the world honestly I'm not from the US but it's similar here police and rich people can get away with a lot more do bad things and face zero consequences no matter how bad it's seemingly is on the other hand yet the police went out to a village in the middle of nowhere and broke somebody's door down in the middle of the night for literally $3.00 worth of weed but like WTF well we had the 32 year old son of a prominent member of town rape and sodomize a fourteen-year-old girl a notable quotes from the kangaroo court she was begging for it you see the tits on that one how was I supposed to know she didn't try real hard to stop anything anyways he got off with a slap on the wrist two weeks later he was found by cleaning staff in the local gym beaten with a wooden broom handle shoved up his ass rumor was that it was a group of guys from the high school that jumped him after another chick lured him there honestly a lot of people now who did it but no one breathed a word he survived but left the area and basically just disappeared the Ghana ville pits massacre multiple women murdered at a remote swimming area in an old abandoned quarry one girl survived but the killer was never identified not long later a woman was found dead in a storage shed owned by the sheriff at the time there rested a black man who was from out of town with no connections to the woman and sentenced him to life Tate later came out that the sheriff had been having an affair with the woman but charges were never filed some speculates that the sheriff could be responsible for multiple murders including the bloody Ghana Ville Pitts massacre row you made it to the end you're ducking mad lad I'll cut you a deal smash like and subscribe for more curated content
