Holy monkey on a pogo, this thread still going strong?
Well Hazza thnx for sharing your experience.
It sounds pretty much true and reasonable.
I can imagine the people in the house getting sick of all the weirdos coming to their house because of the legend.
Still it doesn't dismiss all of the stories, but it probally is just a myth.

Sounding more and more like the bikers club house down the road.

[triplestagedarkness]

Been there probably more than 100 times. Activity has died off in the recent years, at least the times I go down there. From about 1988-2005, it was a steady stream of traffic on the road on Friday and Saturday. I actually wrote a blurb on this that ended up in Weird Pennsylvania, although I'm not sure how it got there. If you think that driving the road is scary, try walking it in the middle of the night. I would have someone drop me off at the top of the road, where the turnaround is, and pick me up at the bottom. I've done it both ways, but it's definitely scarier when you end up at Route 100, than vice-versa. The woods are super dark, and very, very silent. Actually the silence scared me more than any noise I thought I would hear. I was very careful to dodge cars that came down, by hiding in the underbrush. Anybody that has ever met me can attest to these barb wire, thorns, and stick scars all over my legs. I've had my Bronco rammed down there by a smaller S10 type Blazer back in the 1990s. Being by myself, I figured I wouldn't confront whatever was in that Blazer and just high tailed it off Cossart Road. There was a plan, back in the 1990s by a bunch of Concord High students to walk the field from Cossart, up to the house--but it never materialized. At 37, I'm still up for it, if anybody else is game!

I believe this дуптв becouse everything is true when people begin to belive in it

[Connections to Christ]

first I want to clear up a few things
1. The house is in Pennslvania not Delaware.
2. I live a 5 min. walk from the house.
3. Its probably all true

The mysteries about them finding a dead baby in the skull tree is true I've asked people in my neighborhood who have lived here for years about this and it was true. The baby was found dead on the november 1st. Many people think it was killed on halloween. supposedly killed in a satanic ritual earning the tree the name babies cradle.

Now about the house not much is known about it except that it USED to be owned by the du ponts who were free masons and there for not satanic worshippers.

I think if any one of you lived back there, you might be a little perturbed as well, and chase people away. I grew up on Long Island and can completely sympathize with these people. Cause I like thousands of others, went to see the Amityville house. In my teen years it was awesome to scare yourself silly and go to look at the house with the glaring "eye" windows. Only to be disappointed, as the house is not nearly as creepy as the movie... it is in a crowded suburban neighborhood, not too much unlike my own, and the "eye" windows don't even face the road. Adding to the story, my father was working in the police precinct that covers the home, during the origional "Defeo" (sp) slayings. He was quite adamant that the "voices story" came from a kid high on PCP (with a known history of prior drug abuse). , who hallucinated and killed his entire family with a shotgun. Of course, as I grew older I to learned that the entire "ensuing Ghost Story" was a hoax to get a family that couldn't afford the house, out, and to eventually earn themselves millions. The house has always been occupied by families, none of which have such "haunted" nonsense happening to them. If the house was truely haunted it would surely be abandoned by now. Now the poor families that live around the house have to deal with morons like me driving by at 2 in the morning and some probably causing quite a ruckus. (notice I said the families around the house.... I feel no such compasion for the person who actually lives there, cause I'm sure they were well aware of what they got themselves into when they bought the place, at what I'm sure, was a well discounted cost. Painting it yellow doesn't make the address any different, and any kid on LI knows the address) I live in N Wilmington and my husband, whom I have known for 9 years told me lots of stories of this "Satan" house, but has yet to show it to me. My father inlaw worked for Bell Atlantic in the eighties, and said he has actually been inside the home, and said there's nothing at all creepy about it.... just the trees that grow away from the house. He actually mocks my husband for believing the stories. I am indeed curious, but also leary of bugging innocent residents on an unfortunate road. (a true sign that I am getting old ... ) I would love to see pictures of this house, but unfortunately it appears most of the pics on these posts aren't available anylonger and are replaced with boxes with red x's in them... . I am a believer in a good ghost story and can't wait to hear more stories about the house/street.

Hi all! I live in delaware and I have been to cossart road 3 maybe 4 times. I just started making trips to the road with my friends this winter. My one friend (who has been before) shared the story with the rest of us. I had one frightening experience on the road. It wasnt as much of a supernatural thing but more of a fear thing, you will see: It was my first cossart drive, and it was just me and my friend who had been before. We were progressing down the road. I think that it was about 8 oclock on a friday. This is considered early for cossart, because most of the frequenters come out around 12 or 1. As we approached the access road for the house, there was a ****ty car that had two girl our age in it. They chases us out, and we sorta got stuck on the bridge because there was another car coming the other way. It was kinda scary getting chased and all.

I was wondering where the house is exactly. I want to see your opinions on the matter. Also, have never seen the so-called "guard house." I have supplied a google earth image of the cossart region. Let me know where you think the house is.

Thanks

i have seen a sat pic earlier in this thread and the house is visable in the middle of the group of trees you have now it is almost blacked out you can only see one little spot maybe a chimney in the light. i swear it looks like the image has been blacked out on the sat photo

And now the moment you've been waiting for. The Skull Tree!

I grew up in West Chester and I am 53 years old now. This story goes back to when I was a kid and we used to check out that road. The tales go back that far, except very few knew about it like today. I did see the road closed a few years ago and got interested in why, but now realize that there were too many kids creating a problem there. I did have some strange folks come out to check us out when we started walking up Cossart from the river road (Rt 100). There are some very wealthy folks that live around the whole area and it is no wonder they have gotten tired of all the attention. We're talking real "old" money in that area and old estates that have been sold off into smaller parcels over the last 50+ years. I think the Cossart train station is way creepier at night than Cossart road is. Cossart road trees are clearly the result of trimming for the power lines.
