Aside from the family being killed by the son nothing ever happened there and unlike in the movies there are houses on either side about 25 feet away. The family that lived there and wrote the book lived there for a short time and the neighbors never heard about a thing until the book came out. I have been in the house many times and never screen a thing it was all a big hoax to sell books

Well quick update.

Murder – no proof at all has been found of anything.

Sewer problems – No sign of it. City had no complaints on file. Talked to one house owner across the street and he never had problems. The power has been off for 24 months which shut off the sump pump. Water has got in the basement so it needs some major clean up but no signs anywhere of sewage.

Turns out by the court papers, owner took a new loan out on the property in 2005 and barely made a payment until they finally kicked him out in 2012. No idea why, but he did not just walk away.


End result - we have been going back and forth with the bank that owns the property. They accepted our offer Tuesday. Signed papers yesterday. Get keys in a few weeks. Ended up about 40% below “B” condition appraised.


It needs work. Been neglected for years and vacant for two.
Have a long list of repairs before moving in. Might be asking for advice on a few things here – HINT HINT Boss.


Probably going to throw a Halloween party, break out the Ouija board and make an offering to the Pontiac gods (just in case).


Guess all car stuff will be put on hold for this summer.
If anybody lives in Streetsboro, ohio – I am heading your way. Listen for the exhaust!
