Hahaha!
It's just one of those threads that has something for everyone!
Creepy house? Check.
Creepy road? Check.
Cult? You got it.

[wicked goddess]

I'm sorry I don't have time to read the entire thread, but, did anyone take a picture of the house? The story sounds really interesting.

[DnTtAlKt0M3]

I have heard about both of those places. I will check into them more, and will post anything that I happen to find or come across..... Otherwise very interesting thread!!!

[Enchntress]

On pages 27 and 29 there are some pics and links - although some of the pictures have been taken down.

Hi again.

The foliage is looking good this time of year and I've been back around Cossart lately. By looking good I mean the trees are barren, and we haven't had much snow. All of the houses are visible from the road. About what you'd expect for mid-February and in the 60's...

The "Cult House" has had the inverted crosses removed. I don't know when; it's been awhile since I was within sight of that home and they look black now for all intents and purposes.

I'll be driving by these next few weeks and will try to post some pictures and descriptions. I'll try to cap pictures in the afternoons, as darkness pretty much ruins everything down here and the early eastern sun is just as bad. I stand by my original statements of not intruding; and by that I mean no front-door pictures, but I'll try to describe where on the road the pictures were taken from and at what time.

Bit of a side note, but the vandalism is still occurring. As I said before the Skull Tree was removed in June of 2010 but the tree 10' north of it has been spray painted with the words, "BABY TREE." Interpret that as you will. Kids.

So basically, this is just a creepy looking house that pothead teenagers vandalize because it looks creepy? Nice. And twenty-plus pages later people are still going on about it like there's some great conspiracy afoot.

Then I just have to ask: How is this thread still open and the "John Palifox Key/Proofs of his return" thread isn't?

[Simbi Laveau]

I've never heard of this place before.It sounds similar to the ongoing at plum island.
The fact its linked to the DuPont's,with an army of trucks to keep people off the land,screams weird science,not haunted house.
The guys who guard the place probably purposely do nutty weird stuff weird to freak out people trying to check it out.
They probably laugh about it later too .
"did you see that kids face ?! Looks like he pooped his pants,ha ha ha ha !"

This thread is still open because there is no reason to close it.  It's of interest to people and increases traffic on the site.  What's not to like?  

As to your assessment, it's obvious that you read a couple of random posts and drew erroneous conclusions.  To sum the thread and the mystery itself up:  There is a spooky old house on a spooky old road that generations of people have grown up legend-tripping to and/or just talking about.  Lots of people in the country use drugs, some legal and some not.  Some of them are teenagers and some, no doubt, visit the location or try to.  Not all people that go there are teenagers and not all of them are on illegal drugs.  There is very little vandalism and none of the house itself due to the presence of police and private security.  A prominent ultra-rich family is linked to the house possibly, which increases interest.  It only takes two people plotting and planning to create a conspiracy, so is there one here?  I dunno.  I don't even know what you're referring to.  It's a creepy house and people try to visit it and the area.  

Hope that helped.  Oh, and it's also possibly the most interesting thread ever created on this site.

I'm not arguing it should be closed; I just find it weird that other popular threads get locked while this remains open.

So, in other words...you really like drugs.

Pretty sure that would be the Palifox thread.

Not really sure how you get that I like drugs out of the synopsis, but you're entitled to your opinion.

I am from this area. I have traveled to this area several times. It locally known as Beaver valley. I have had weird experiences from time to time. Never been chased by anyone in pick-up trucks. I haver never even seen the Satanic Church, because if there's one thing I've noticed over the course of twenty years since finding out about this stuff is. Everyone says they have been there, But one thing is certain is nobody can tell you how to get there exactly. If you are in this area. The correct name of the road is Cossart Rd. You take baltimore pike in Media Pennsylvania and make a left onto creek rd. Once on creek you come upon Cossart. There are also different points to check out. First off is Cossart rd. Next is Montchanin rd in Delaware. There is also Bullock rd. All of these roads cross Cossart or can be easily reached from Cossart.

I am attaching a link to Chadds Ford from google. you can easily find these roads. As for the Satanic Church, I have an address from a pretty reliable source. I will not post it here for simple fact i do not want to start new rumors, or have thrill seekers trampling accross private property. So If you guys are still on here I will keep you posted. If you have any questions I can be contacted at griffj17@yahoo.com

My 2 cents. I have known about this road for over 25 years and of course the first place I went when I got a license was there.  I can recall as a teenager taking the cossart/fairville road sign.  I climbed on top of a truck and they boosted me up and I swung on it till it came off.  With all that being said I have spent a fair amount of time there and as I got older I ended up working in a few houses along the road.  I had heard all the stories. I believe and can not say for sure but think that the DELVAL guys may have been referring to some emails we had passed back and forth years ago.

So starting at 52 if you turn on the road and head thru Fairville road and turn left on Stockford road the little house to the left was where the guys who patrolled the road.  They were private security I believe.  We were told the reason for security was the stories caused a lot of unwanted traffic on the road.  The other reason was that some retired political figures lived there.

We had asked if we could walk the road and they aloud us.  My buddy was friends with them.  Nothing creepy ever happened during the 2 times we walked.

As you continue along the road to your left you would see the skull tree. But if you look to the right out in the field there was a tree and the story was that when then one of the Johnston gang shot his son it was at that tree.  If you watch the movie "At Close Range" I am sure they show that scene.

Farther down on the left up the hill you see the " satanic church."  In kiana1961's picture you can see it.  I have been in the house before.  They have a huge indoor pool.  I fair amount of the house is underground.  Although some of the decor is creepy inside as if they embrace the story I found the people to seem to be incredibly wealthy and old.  I have no idea as to where their money came from.  In talking to some of the "help" they said the house was very old.  And was built as a hunting lodge.  Some elite people from Wilmington would head out in there and stay there while they hunted.  I remember the house to have tons of rooms and could facilitate such an excursion, with many small rooms for sleeping quarters(just an opinion).  I think this was pre car era, so they arrived in carriages.  

The only other thing I believe is the house at the end on the left is where they filmed the village.  Supposedly M. Night Shamalan(who is from West Chester) dated or was good friends with the daughter.  I believe it to be a horse farm.  That house was very old as well.  With the creepy decor theme again.  I don't remember whole lot about that place other then they had a toilet seat that was clear with barbed wire inside it.


But as has been previously stated the people who live there simply wanna be left alone.
