What a stupid thing to do, even for 12-year-olds. I've never even heard of "Slender Man." Does anyone know anything about what he's supposed to be, or do?

I remember this one from the old group, but it's been updated. Please keep us informed about the DNA testing to see if someone else was in the house that night. I still say the husband was involved. He admitted that he was planning to have someone break in to steal jewelry so that he could file a false insurance claim. They were having money problems, so it could have been someone who came in with the intention of kidnaping the kids or something.

The FBI has offered a $20K reward for information. The FBI and police always discourage family members from offering rewards because it brings all of the crazies out of the woodwork, so the FBI itself announcing the reward means they're desperate for information.
Sam, I agree that teenagers didn't do this. There was some talk of organized crime, but the FBI said the guy didn't have any organized crime connections and their family members lived in Florida and the Carolinas, although one son was murdered in Atlanta in 2000. It sort of makes you wonder if maybe there isn't some kind of pseudo-Satanic cult operating in that community. I've been to Eatonton, Georgia and it's a nice, quiet little town, but the people who live at the development called Reynolds Plantation are from all over, so there's no telling what some weirdos might be into. It would be unusual for senior citizens to be into something like that, but I think the community is open to everyone, which means you would have people of all ages.
One thing that really has me puzzled is that one of the reports said that they didn't have any outside help and that their 3300 square foot house was spotless. How did two people close to 90 years old keep a house of that size spotless without even a part time cleaning woman?

I had a very hard time logging in. I got a "redirecting" message and it was the third time before I was finally able to login.

I love to walk, especially in the woods and I think that it does sharpen the senses because I come up with a lot of ideas when I'm walking. One of the nicest things about our Dark Shadows trips is that we do a lot of walking along the shore path in Bar Harbor and other places that we visit in Maine.

It may be just as bad as we've been told, but we're going to try it anyway. The house was there when people were being accused, arrested and executed for witchcraft. That alone makes it interesting. There's just something irresistible about staying in a place where people who were actually there when the witch trials were going on lived. People were scared that they might be accused and they might have known some of the accused or those who were hanged because Salem wasn't all that big back them. The house is also said to be haunted. Whose to say the ghost isn't someone who lived there during the witch trials?

These people are stupid white trash. The mother probably doesn't have anything more than a high school education, if that. There's also the possibility that she's lying. Unless there's other proof, the DA shouldn't prosecute based on nothing more than her word.

It's just for three days and we're going to try it. If it's all that bad, we can always move to the Salem Hotel & Marina, where Lee and Julia are staying, unless it's full. We want to try it because it was standing when the witch trials took place and some of the rooms are decorated sort of like they were in the 17th century. It's supposed to be haunted by a ghost cat and people who have stayed there have felt a presence in some of the rooms and felt that they're being watched. I think it will be fun.

There was a Satanic Panic in May of 1988 where I live when the rumor started that a virgin was going to be sacrificed. I've heard that a lot of adults told their kids nothing was going to happen, but many still kept their children home from school, which shows just how susceptible people are to these things. Rumors are contagious. The same thing happened in Salem in 1692 and ended up with 19 people being hanged and another pressed to death. In one little town in Texas, several people were prosecuted and convicted of Satanic ritual abuse and they spent years in prison. They weren't released until years later when the kids admitted that they had been coached about what to say and that none of it ever happened.

They offered to find and check out the hotels. Not that it's any of your business!

We have had a change of plans. We discovered they allow dogs at the Algonquin and there aren't any "no-dog rooms," so we have to find someplace else. I can't believe that Lee and Maddie didn't check on this before they suggested it!

I remember that discussion. Every time someone made a comment, that crypticdick jerk would pipe in with his 2 cents and because the moderators wouldn't do anything about him, people stopped commenting, like they did on a LOT of subjects.

Forget the dog and cat killing. These two morons should be jailed for stupidity! Not only do they confess, they film and take photos of what they did and then leave them around for the cops to find!

Why isn't the Christian Right upset about all the pro-bestiality ads on TV that show people letting dogs lick them in the mouth and sleeping with them?

I agree. Johnson had something to do with it. Even if the Mafia was involved, Johnson knew what was going on. He and Kennedy hated each other and the only reason he was chosen as running mate was because he was from Texas and Kennedy thought that he would help get Southern votes.
I think Oswald was a patsy just like he said and that Jack Ruby was ordered to silence him. Ruby had gangster connections and he probably owed a debt for some favor and he was ordered to kill Oswald as payback even though he knew that he would be arrested and convicted and probably sentenced to die for it.
