Oh, and did I mention that my mom, brother, sister and I were nearly fried to death by a mysterious basement fire at the house down the lane, right next door (in country terms anyway) to what you call Hell House back in 1967?

I stumbled across your blog, and I couldn’t help but comment on Hell House. I used to live nearby as a child in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and while I know nothing of the source of your story or its veracity, I can tell you when I lived on the road (named after my family, remnants of whom still till the soil around King’s Creek, down the road from “Hell Cemetery”), a family by the name of Carter lived there. They had about six kids, and John, one of the boys, was in my class. His mother Yvonne, was the local Avon lady, and she was indeed killed in a car accident at the intersection of Clark Road and SR 296 around 1973. The house, which was huge, obviously fell into disrepair after the Carters left. That it was used as a pigpen before it was demolished is so out there…. There are a lot of creepy things on Clark Road. Several fatal accidents have occurred on it, at the farm where I lived as a boy (down a long lane just before Hell House), the previous owner had hung himself in the barn. My aunt was run over and killed by my great-grandfather in a driveway accident near the creek back in the early 1940s, and my cousin turned his ’69 Corvette into his own ooffin on nearby Ludlow Road… Over on SR 68, at the house where the creek runs past, a deranged man shot to death his daughter, a nurse, and his wheelchair-bound son, around 1958. It was an infamous murder case at the time–one of the few ever to occur in the area up to then. So yeah, you got the vibe right!

[...] on Herr Rd. When you reach the intersection of Herr and Clark–conveniently the location of Hell Cemetery–keep going straight. You are now on CR-130. It twists and turns a lot, but stay on it. You [...]
