Land Of The Little People

Bar

This site is located off an old service road back in the woods. It has been heavily vandalized and is also deteriorating, but nonetheless, most of it is still there.

As legend has it, the site was once home to a couple who built everything by hand and from scratch. They lived out in the woods with little contact to the outside world. As the story goes, the husband eventually began building this village for little people (tiny demons?), and he built himself a throne to rule over them. These little demons began to control him and forced him to keep building the village and start doing strange things (such as install bars over the windows to his house, making it like a prison). His wife did not like anything that was going on and tried repeatedly to stop him. Eventually he claimed the little people told him to kill his wife (because she sat in his throne), which he did. After that, nobody is really sure what happened to him. Most of the buildings are gone now, but the remains of the house and the throne are still evident, and are readily visible. It is now said that whomever sits in the throne will die within seven years.

Another version of the story is similar, but it tells that the wife had seen the little people out in their woods and convinced the husband to build them homes. The little people (demons?) were said to have made the husband kill his wife and then they eventually killed him. This story tells that whomever sits in the throne will die within one year.

Still another story is very similar. Long ago a man built a house and lived by himself. He then began to hear voices in his head. So what he did was built little houses for the voices that he had heard. He built the throne for one of the voices had told him to. From all the voices he went insane and died in his house, and now where his property used to be you can hear little voices and see their homes and the mans.

Some say that he killed his wife in the throne. Others say that it was vice-versa. Some even say that his wife was a witch who tortured him and demanded that he build the town.

Did the man go crazy? Were the demons controlling him? We intend to find out.
