Hehehe.. I'd have to agree with you there...
But as it is with me I'm not scared of it but rahter I'm intrigued... I've seen some things on the things on TV on a few places over in Europe. I'd love to go check them out too! Hehe..

Rather you than me.

heheheh

yeh pretty scary stuff. If i lived by it i would probably be killed.

"curiosity killed the cat"

very interesting guys!!
do we have any places like this in melbourne australia??
i wonder!!
i would love to go n see

I have been to the place in Porterville myself. It is located behind Granite Hills High School. The school was built about five years ago, I think. Before that it was just an open field with a long narrow road leading to the house at the top of the hill. The house is now gone and nothing but a foundation is left. I remember seeing the dead animal carcass hanging on the barbed wire. There is also a long row of cactus along the barbed wire. The history of the house as I know it is that a well known drug dealer lived in the house after inheriting it from his parents. It turned into a major party house. Every time the dealer would end up in jail people would sneak up there to try to find his stash and hold their own parties in his absence. Rumor had it that he would hide stash (dope, guns, meth lab equipment) in several caves that were disquised at the cactus fence border. Rattlesnakes usually kept people away from the fenceline. I remember seeing and having to avoid the snakes several times even on the road leading to the house.
The "tragic" end to the house came after the dealer was shot in the chest with a shotgun and killed by a nutcase fanatic who did not like the idea that this guy was selling lots of dope to kids. When the deputies got the phone call of shots being fired at the house, several responded (usually the case when going to that house). When the first car made it up the hill the deputy looked out her drivers side window and was shocked at the site of the dealer hanging by his feet, tied up with electrical cord and hung from a tree over the road. The killer had already left the area and drove up to the mountains to "clense his soul". He made a phone call to the sheriffs office and told them where he could be located. He was arrested and given a light sentence for manslaughter instead of murder. I am not sure of what happened to him after that.
After the dealer was killed the house was looted countless times by everyone trying to find his treasure of guns and drugs. As far as I know nothing was ever found. I believe the house burned down a couple of years later and has to this day never been rebuilt.
At the time this happened I was a cop and yes I was there when his body was found after the shooting. I was not the first one there but the second. I have been to that house countless times in the past. There were always rumors of satan worship and other weird crap going on. The only evidence I ever found of it was a bunch of half burned candles placed over drawings of some kind behind the house. Inside the house was strange as well. he had built all kinds of hiding places for his dope, gins and cash. Nothing had ever been found.
There may be more stories to this house as well. I read somewhere that in the real old days when the KKK was really active in this area that a man was hung by his feet and tortured to death. There have even been stories of the place being haunted by the original man killed there.
Strange thing is that the first one killed at the house was hung up by his feet and killed. The second was hung up by his feet and shot in the chest by a shotgun.

Makes you wonder???

Thanks for sharin' Mark. Cool story. Please don't take offense at this as I am not a stickler for these things and am in no way trying to play "bored police". I think you should post it as an orginal post. It makes a nice addendum to the DuPont house story, but it is good as a stand-alone story too and people won't be able to find it if it is only here. If you haven't already, you should go ahead and post it where those interested can find it.

No problem at all. I will go ahead and do that. I found the post while doing some quick research on the local area and said to myself "hey I have been there"

Thanks again

Absolutely no problem.

Holy monkey on a stick!
Can't believe this topic is still going strong.

Nice to see there is interrest in it.
I see people have actually made videos an pics of it.

this topic just keeps going and going... we've been investigating it for about a year now and come up with some video and stuff but nothing more.. we continue to look though

Alright Guys, I had an experience i last night down cossart rd. that I'd like to share, however, you must keep an open mind about it. I have an uncle who was in a cult growing up and while intrenched in the cult he learned how to do many different satanic rituals, chants and sayonces. Well, I've been telling him about "Devil's Road" for about a month now and after showing him some of our video and pictures of the place, he noticed a face in a rock on cossart rd. that nobody else had seen previously. This "face rock" is what convinced him to take a trip down to "satanville" with me and the rest of the bbh productionz crew. Now to our experience

We got to the tree at about 1:30am and in the interest of safety decided that me and my uncle would get dropped off at the tree and the rest of the crew would stay in the truck at a nearby location and pick us up when we were finished at the tree. When the rest of the gang pulled away, my uncle informed me to keep the flashlights off until otherwise stated and he walked over to the tree and knelt down. As he knelt down and began chanting, the wind picked up and the temperature dropped noticably... at this point, im just blowing all this off as coincidence and stuff.

Well, he continues to chanting for about a minute and then stands up and with a serious voice says that there is something behind this tree and we needed to go up. So, him and I go up the hill behind the tree and about ten yards into the woods. He starts chanting again and points towards a big dark tree directly in alignment with the skull tree and says that there is a connection between the two. This is where it got really weird for me... we walk towards the tree and he tells me to look up and notice the sky... well, i noticed it for sure, there wasnt a star in the sky except for a clutter directly over the tree.. that was cool and all, but when I looked down, the formation of the leaves, blended with the light of the moon/stars through the tree made a perfect pentagram on the ground... I swear, I never in my life have been soo freaked out. I turned the flashlight on and almost immediately the pentagram disappeared.

I never believed that there was anything really going on down there, but tonight I became a believer that there may be something... Those types of things just dont happen out of nowhere.

Wookie guy said that...

And its not quite true. You guys have to get a hold of tax maps, public records. Look at who currently owns the house (may explain guards if they exist) - Look at who his father was, and how the father was associated with Du Pont.

that's not a bad idea actually

Isn't it cossart road??

This whole thing sounds a bit like somethin out of House of a 1000 Corpses to me. At least, the bit about the DuPont Family. It scares the crap out of me that those laces actually exist....Eeek.

O_O These are the addresses that live on the same road. As the house?



The movie right?

Laces?

And of course by laces I am referring to places.
It just seems that my spell check is absent.

Where is ramsey rd? I thought everything is on cossart road?

It's actually off a road called Twaddell Mill Road in Greenville, Delaware. The road itself isn't on a map. I was just there the other night, and the candles were lit in the graveyard.

how far down twaddell mill road

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=13%20Cossart...d,%20PA%2019317


Arrow up on the map at this link and you will find Cossart Rd.

alright i see it, but now i ask the question, what does cossart manor road have to do with it?

If you have read the section in "Weird Pennsylvania" it says to make sure that you dont confuse that road with cossart manor road, which supposedly is a private residence and drive. That map is right though because it shows the how close the spot really is to the delaware border.

also could someone clarify whether or not it is in PA or DE because someone says greenville DE while others say Cossart road which is PA

Also twaddel mill road is closer to cossart than it is to ramsey...Ramsey is here and Cossart is to the northeast http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&...&iwloc=addr

I didnt say anything about Cossart Manor Rd....lol.
This map show Cossart Rd. if you arrow up on the map.
For those who wanted to know where it is.
Yes there is a Cossart Manor Rd. on this map also.

understood... We've been up and down almost every part of cossart rd. That's the road the skull tree is on. These last few posts are the first times I've heard any mention of twaddell mill road in accordance with this legend. I'm trying to find out where and who said the house is on twaddell mill road.

Don't really have much to say about this at the mo', but I read through the pages a bit so I'm been productive! I really just wanted to bump this post up to keep it from getting caught in the cobwebs, collecting dust in the UM forum archive. -whew- :#

as someone who lives near "satanville" as we call it, let me give u my two cents:

It's in Pennsylvania, near the Delaware border, close to Chadds Ford. Yes, the trees grow away from the "church" and yes, there's a thousand dollar fine for driving through the road, because it's private property. However:

I have gone there many many times, and was never once chased by anyone in a truck. I did, however, see the skull tree, and that I cannot explain. As for the "satanic church" it was recently debunked by one the local newspapers, I believe the Delaware county daily times. the locals are sick of people coming to investigate a satanic church that doesn't really exist, and perhaps the truck driving people who follow teens on the lookout for satanic activity are simpy locals trying to scare people away. I don't know.

Also, as someone who has read the satanic bible and researched the satanic religion....satanists don't go around sacrificing humans and killing people. They don't even worship the devil (they don't belive in any deitys), so if there are people in that area sacrificing humans, they aren't satanists, as real satanists are simply believers in "the left handed path" which just means they put themselves first before others, and they do what they want to do, within reason. What they dont do, though, is sacrifice humans...that is strictly stated in the satanic bible as being something that Hollywood has conjured up.

Personally, I find the "satanville" area to be creepy, yes, but there is no concrete evidence to suggest that this stuff really goes on, and I'm pretty sure it was the daily times that investigated the whole urban legend and proved it false...I'll have to dig around. If I find something, I'll post it here...but I really dont think theres anything going on there.

My older brother lives in Washington DC, works for BlackwaterUSA and was in SOCOM for years. I gotta tell him about this place. Him and his buddies (even hard-core Satanists are out of their league when compared with these guys) will raid the hell out of it...License plate and VIN traces, who's working there, investigate the security guards, etc..

He'll have a blast...

Satanists who are for real as opposed to poseurs or amateurs who are just starting out, certainly aren't going to be doing illegal activities in such a high-profile environment as this one. If there ever was any true cult activity here, it is long over, as the area is just under too much scrutiny. The higher ups in the Satanic religions certainly aren't fools.

Dude, things don't work that way with real agents of the government in the real world. Do you know how many red flags would be raised by inquiries into certain folks if they were for real? Just for example, folks with the name DuPont...

Don't think this would be 'on the books'

He's a pro..

This is now inaccurate. They lifted the "private property" fine for the road about a year and a half ago. Saying that though, the road is still heavily police patrolled. We spend a lot of time on the road and the area and have been stopped numerous times, but never fined.

I've been investigating this place for a long time and I also do not believe there is really anything down there. The supposed chases do happen, but are nothing more than teen thriller seekers looking to keep the legend alive(at least the people who've "chased" us). I like going down there for the simple fact that there is a chance something could be there. Plus, there is a house down there that people believe to be a cult house. Whether it is or isn't a cult house, I don't know, but I haven't seen it yet and I want to find it. I've seen a newspaper article, it's actually back in this topic. I think it's like page 7-10. The article basically states the legend and that it may or may not be true. It's from a few years ago though.

for anyone who's actually SEEN the trees- you would know the so called explination of the power company trimming them is complete BS. THEY BEND AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE! theres no way ropes or tree trimming could cause it. ive been there many times, my latest visit just last night- and ive been chased every time. this doesnt mean that i neccesarily believe all the hype about satansville and the cult house- but all the lame explinations dont mean anything. ive read every article about it and seen the actual house a number of times, and something wrong is definately in the air.

No disrespect meant here. But when you go to inquire about certain persons, you will trip certain warning bells and a chain of events will be initiated. If your brother is a pro, he knows this. There are also certain agreements and documents that you have to sign in order that you are allowed higher level clearance. People who are cowboys just don't move up the feeding chain far enough to access any real information. Those who aren't know the score and don't attempt things that will get them in hot water-such as unauthorized investigations.

If you've seen the actual house numerous times, where exactly is it?

if youve gone past the skull tree, youve gone too far. theres a driveway on the right side [the side where all the trees point away from] which has another driveway parallel to it. thats it. 1/4 mile back.

We have video footage of us down that road and near that house and a lot of people said that it was innaccurate.

And so it goes on....
Bump

Definitely one of the most interesting threads here. Seems like some of the things, such as where it's at, could be pinned down by now though.

You would definently think so. However, so many people have different accounts as to where it is... its nuts.

Damn!! I wish I could go to that area socially but considering I live in England it'll be kinda hard unless I cough up 500 quid and then car money.

Anyone of you lot wanna come to US with me?

When I read this I think of "House of 1000 corpses" and Dr. SATAN-

I'd have to say it's alot less awe-inspiring when you actually visit it. I don't think it'd be worth going across the globe for.

I would quote the above but my computer is gay and the windows closes down (No it ain't cookies either).

My question to the above is: Is it not as interesting as people claim it to be? Well, if it's true that it's just an old man living there who is a fan of hummers, rams and pick-ups I'm sure it would be rather boring.....With the interted cross windows though, what do you reckon he listens to? Gorgoroth, Deicide?

mystery-man, here's the thing.. We have been to this "area" probably more than anybody else in the past year and a 1/2 and I haven't seen this soo called inverted crosses house. I've spoken to people who have said they have seen, who have sworn they've seen it, but everytime I take these people down there it's, "Well, It's around here somewhere."

It's a really creepy place because it's a really dark, windy urban road. The leaning trees definently add to its mystique and so does the "Skull Tree". You do get chased sometimes and 99.99% of the time it's usually just a bunch of kids down there for thrills.

Still, All in all, it's a highly popular urban legend in this region and still attracts a huge following.
