Wow this is unreal... i've literally spent ALL day reading this thread. This story is great. I live about 15 minutes from cossart rd. and actually went there for the first time this morning. didnt really know too much about the "cult house" at that point, just that the road itself was creepy. we did find one house and walk up to it though. nothing too crazy. deffinitly did not LOOK like the so called cult house but who knows. there was a new white car parked by it for one. also behind the house it looks like whoever lived in this house was cutting down an awful lot of trees. There was heavy machinery back there and everything. here are some pictures. If anyone has any reason to believe this may or may not be the "cult house", please let me know! I am planning on going back tonight and maybe again tomorrow during the day to get to the bottom of this. I WILL find this house, that is for certain. if...indeed this house exists. I will post more pictures that i take tonight, tomorrow. Also let it be known that i have ZERO intention of disturbing anyone or anything in or around this place. I'm doing this soley for documentation. Wish me luck!

the infamous tree




house




some creepy bones on the pathway leading up to the house

Wow, i read this topic last year amazing its still going strong. Id love togo visit myself but i live in england,
really nice pics teedo, maybe the bones are for there hellhound guard dogs?

Anyone seeing this just now and has skipped to the end page, i fully recommend taking the time to read the whole thread it's really great.

And where is this place exactly? im really interested.

Nice photos!!
the place is really very creepy,but the tree roots doesnt have the shape of human skull

it is right off of Cossart rd. in Chadds Ford, PA.

So i went to visit this house last night. the one in the picture with the big white crosses. I did take pictures but none came out because it was so dark. Now while it does appear to be the right house, i'm not convinced. if you look at the satellite image you can see another house south of this one that is more in the woods...ALSO if you look, there is a path leading up to it from Cossart rd. with a small white building (the gaurd house?) on it. THAT, to me seems like it could be the right house. has anyone seen that house?? or have any pictures?? i'm going to go back to try to get a look at it. I will post pictures.

also on a side note... about 2 minutes upon us entering Cossart rd. an SUV pulled up behind us and indeed started to chase us... Also, he repeatedly turned his lights out while he was behind us. I didnt freak and just drove normally. When we finally got to the end of the road he sped by me in an attempt to flee. As soon as he did that i sped up behind him and followed him for a nice little while. I started blinking a pretty high powered flashlight at him and he eventually stopped and i pulled up next to him. I asked him what in the world they (there was three people in the car) were chasing me for, and he said that they were security gaurds.... He THEN said that they lived in one of the houses on cossart rd. and that i was not allowed to be driving back there... now that got me thinking....hmmm..you live in the house, AND you are your own security force??? doesnt add up... after a little while of me looking at him like he was stupid he finally said "AHHH man were just F*cking with ya, we've just been sittin on that rd. all night chasing people to try and scare them!" since they said they had been there all night i asked them if they had been chased and they said no.... SO ANYWAYS, there is my story on being "chased by the security gaurds". Enjoy

Thanks for sharing the pictures, teedoshoot.

hi! i've been to devil's road quite a few times.. i've never gotten out because of fear.
the roads real name is Cossart rd.. its actually fairly easy to get to once you know where it is..
its off of rt 92 and there's a fruit stand close by
its always eerie driving down the road.. and a few friends have seen creepy things like unindentifiable animal/baby creatures and saw what appeared to be an older woman in a cloak.
i've heard various stories about devil's road and i'm pretty sure its not a hoax.

Unbelievable that this topic is going on, can I start a topic or can I start a topic?

No seriously, great to see that this story is still capturing people's imagination.
Great pics btw!

Sounds like it may be haunted by ghosts or cults.

Umm, I still think it's suspicious that the little old man can afford his own private guard team along with an entire fleet. Definitely sounds cultish to me...Maybe, if you had been in the house I might feel like you cleared this thing up. And that still doesn't explain the trees growning all odd. Trees only grow like that when there is a lighting issue or constant wind blowing on them....
How do we know you're not a cult member yourself trying to dissuade the situation seeing as people are working so hard to get to the bottom of this?? Lol.

remember guys...trust no one*scary music*lol

but seriously... :-)

And another thing,

What bothers me the MOST about this EXTRA LONG thread as I continue to read it is that EVERYONE and their momma has been chased, but no one has been caught, pulled over, fined, detained or attacked in any way. (Not that I want ya'll getting attacked or anything. !) But with all this activity on this road isn't that a bit odd? A police department would start enforcing very harshly and make it known that the town is serious & this will not be tolerated....so why haven't they? Even if the the trucks were a private security agency they would take some form of action after all of this. From this thread alone I cantell that too many [email="d@mn"]d@mn[/email] people have been creeping around this road...so this leads me to believe that this "security" isn't official, can't really take legal action and is part of something well, suspicious to say the least.

If your read the 31 pages, you'd see messages saying that indeed the local police are dealing with this issue.

I seem to recall Weird NJ had something about this place.If it is a private estate owned by the DuPonts or someone else with money,of course they would have guards to chase away tresspassers. The Du Ponts have a great deal of money so an old man having security guards etc.is no big surprise.
A lot of rich people and celebrities have country places where you least expect them. Raymond Burr had a summer home on one of the lakes in Hot Springs,Ark. and the silent film actress Colleen Moore owned a ranch on the Guadalupe River near Boerne,TX,which is now a center for seminars,etc.
near San Marcos,TX is a ranch called Joe E.Brown,my dad wondered if it had belonged to the comedian of that name who was in vaudiville and films
way back in the 1920s and 30s.
My dad attended St.John's catholic School in Hot Springs,back in the 1920s and early 30s,before the family moved back to Milwaukee.He went to school with some of the heirs of the Reynolds tobacco fortune and even pointed out their house one day when we went up to visit his aunts.
Al Capone didn't have a summer place in Hot Springs,but he would stay at the Como Hotel and guys with machine guns were posted on the roof
according to my dad. John D.Rockerfeller once was handing out dimes to little kids and my dad and Uncle Tom each got one.John D. did this to signafy the first dime he ever made and for little kids to learn to be thrifty,guess he believed you can't start them to young.Asked my dad what they did with the dimes,and he said they bought candy with them. They didn't get much money as kids to spend,and i guess what they did get was for doing chores.
So a dime in those days bought a kid quite a bit of candy.

Don't know what the local police are doing in all this.If the place is owned by the family,maybe the cops just let them handle security.
Bachelor's Grove cemetery near Chicago is patroled by police and there are other areas that have become famous for being haunted where they patrol to keep out vandals and thrill seekers.

There was a local San Antonio urban legend called Midget Mansion.It was supposed to have been this large mansion built by a retired cirus midget preformer.Can't recall all the details,but it too was a popular hang out and the cops would chase people away. It was torn down quite a few years ago.
People can be very destructive.
At Commanche Lookout Park in San Antonio,there is a water tower built of stone in 1929 according to the date on the building.It was designed to look like a castle tower.The city put a 6 or 7 foot chain link fence around it with razor wire on top to protect the thing from vandals.There used to be a house on the land which is long gone and back in the 1950s and 60s there were two busts of comanche warriors on the gate postsThe city had an article two years ago about the place and they want to try to recover the stolen busts.the hill got it's name as it offers a sweeping view of the area, and would be easy to see an advancing force of men.
Then back in the 1990s there was an article about a stagecoach mile marker on Bulverde and Lower Smithson Valley Road.It sat there for over 100 years,
but after the article,the old stone disappeared.
i can understand why they don't want people running around the property.Some people would be respectfle,but others would just trash the place,which ruins it for everyone.

I have read the 31 pages and what I'm saying is that with all the reports of people having been there and knowing someone who has been there no one seems to know anyone who has actually been fined (back when they were doing the fine) and neither have there been any stories of the police or any bootleg security actually doing anything -other than that local militia beatdown on the teenagers. Why is that?

This is just my opinion,but after reading the whole thing I believe that with all the inbreeding stories along with the DuPonts being a rich, reclusive, eccentric family in a small town they were probably perceived as creepy & evil back in the olden days, and that is enough to start these rumors. I believe the DuPonts may have even been up to no good and perhaps at and with their prominance weren't too indiscreet about it. Believe me, people in small towns know exactly what's going on in their town, but I think it's all over now. I believe the stories were passed down from the people who were around when there was "questionable" and possibly paranormal activity out there as warnings, but I don't think the area is active any longer. Might be some residual odd stuff from the original negative activites out there but if there was any "secret" activity out there those folks would have relocated LONG ago if they in fact wanted to remain a secret.

And still years later nobody can seem to debunct nor prove this story at all? C'mon. I'm starting to think that maybe the township is using this whole thing as a tourist attraction...

ok.... heres the deal... We need to get a satellite picture or a real picture of which house everyone thinks indeed is the "real" cult house. Because as far as i know NOBODY knows which house is the actual house. The only way anyone is going to get to the bottom of this, is for us to NARROW down which house is the house we are all talking about. SO please, anybody who thinks they know which house is indeed the "cult house" please post a picture. Whether it be an image from google earth, google maps, an actual photo, whatever. Also if you want you can email me at T00764@aol.com

Maybe it's a gang hideout? Red Trucks could belong to the 'Bloods'? But that wouldn't explain not being able to see the freaking driver! Me and my friend were planning to go to a haunted place in my town, but when we found out it's a No Tresspassing area...we left! This place is scary...When I leave home on my College-Cross-Country road trip, I'll be sure to pop in and say hello to Philidalphia's number one Satanic Cult!

I... read... every... single... page... of... this... thread!


Yay me! lol

Interesting stuff. So interesting that I actually joined just so I could view all of the attatchments.

Ok so we went to visit this house during the day over the weekend. We went up the driveway on cossart rd. it was blocked by a gate but we went around. This is the driveway just before the skull tree (if your coming from rt. 100) on the right. we followed the driveway up and it led to a small white brick house. This sounded exactly like the gaurd house. The only problem was, there was no road that led past that house to another house. The driveway ended there. there was a tiny, sorry excuse for a trail leading through the woods, up to another house. but the only way you were getting through there is if you had some kind of dirtbike or 4 wheeler. we got back down to the car and continue to drive down cossart untill we got to the split. we made a right turn on to stockford rd. and then turned right into a driveway (on google earth it looks like a "Y" in the road). There was a small house right there, also about 30 feet past the house there was a rather large steel gate operated by a keypad. There were 2 mailboxes in front of the gate. So I decided to walk up to the little house in front of the gate and talk to whoever lived there. Now.... i dont want to get into specifics, but I happen to work for one of the local utility companies, I work in the residential sales division. So...i went up to the house and started talking to the gentleman that lived there about the changes that our company was making in the area. He was actually rather pleasant. However...as soon as i asked him if there was a way i could speak to the houses past the gate, he got very defensive. He said there was NO WAY he was letting me past that gate. He also said he was watching me as i pulled up by the house and said that if i got any closer to the gate he was gonna go get his Colt 45 (gun) and find out what i was doing... mind you he said this slightly jokingly...but still.... He actually then went on to say that he WORKED for the owner of one of the houses. I asked him what he did and he said he was the grounds keeper/ Gate Keeper (verbatim). He said if i had something i wanted the owner of the house to see, i could leave it with him because he apparently takes all of their calls, packages, and information.... weird huh....?? i gave him a little information and then left. So now with that said, YOU tell me if that doesnt sound A LITTLE fishy... anyways thats what happened. I'll put up pictures here in a little. however even from the gate we couldnt see either of the two houses. but you can CLEARLY see on google earth/maps what two houses they are.

walking up the driveway from cossart rd. to the white brick house (gaurd house?).


A closer side shot


A zoomed in shot of A house past the little white house through the woods. (the one with really no trail to it)

I believe there could be a house like that like if theres a house for god made by cathlics and christians I believe there could be a house of the devil made by or inhabited by a satanic cult.

I've been doing a little research on the possible connection of this house/road to the Du Pont family and it appears that Kennet Pike (the main rd that cossart is off of, on the east end) was actually built by P.S. Dupont... i am going to look into this a little farther. I'll let you know what i come up with.

"Kennett Pike, the road built by P.S. DuPont so he could easily travel from his farm at Longwood to his office in Wilmington, Delaware. The Kennett Pike travels through the beautiful chateau country of Southeast Pennsylvania and Northern Delaware where many of the DuPont families settled and built their estates as their Company grew and prospered."

I tried to look up on the house but could not find anything thanks for the story

well you guys all think that the ppl that lived in this 'unholy house' belonged to the Illuminati, and thats y u think this house holds great evil... well im just letting u know that my father and his father and so on( about 5 generations) have been part of the Illuminati and/or the Freemasons and i can assure you that they do NOT do anything evil (like rituals, or sacrifices or what ever was mentioned in this thread) yes in history they did their fair-share of diabolical things, but not any more, and i am speaking on these grounds to change the direction in which this thread is going, the Illuminati/ Freemasons have nothing to do with it...i know this as my father is the Grand-Mason (of the Freemasons) of the whole of Southern Africa, and he represents them, and he is good friends with the Grand-Mason of Ireland which in fact is the top dude in all of the Freemasons, and these ppl have nothing to do with this unholy house...maybe you guys should start looking at the Satanists and Wiccans as this kind of thing sounds just like them, get what im saying?
anyways happy hunting for the truth... and if i can assist you in any ways just lemme know.k

Aw Kickass! The house is only an hour away from where i live. Now all i need are directions.

If you plan on going, take a good digital camera with you, and take as many pictures as you can, especially if you se the wierd looking guy, who chased the to guys in one of the stories from earlier:D

Hmmm, interesting stories that have been added recently, however, I don't know if I would necessarily recommend just walking up someone's driving and snapping pictures of their house.

For Those who are still waiting for our documentary, fret not, we are almost finished. We are hopefully going to be putting the finishing touches on it soon and right now are currently finishing up some of the interviews we've done with some people. If anybody wants to be interviewed about their experience, email us webmaster@bbhproductionz.org. We know we said the documentary would be finished by August, however, with each member of our group all working full time now, it makes time to get together and work on things that much harder.

It's been known for what I thought was awhile that many of the people in the area hired guards/groundskeepers. This was done because of all the teenage kids going down there and disturbing the people's property.

Geeeze, folks, stop bothering these poor property owners, you're probably scaring the living daylights out of them, not to mention annoying the heck out of them.

I have a sense that BBH has done his research properly, without invading anyone's privacy.

People live there, why don't y'all put the brakes on and wait for BBH's documentary before someone gets hurt, arrested or worse. I'd be SO angry to find snotty teenagers sneaking around, tresspassing, snapping pictures of my house and posting them on the internet.

This kind of thing irks me to no extent after I interviewed an angry, sad, and dejected, property owner of a private cemetary that was constantly tresspassed on by teenagers trying to freak themselves out. You have no idea the kind of damage and fear this does to the people that live there. No idea.

I agree, a lot of people do not want to cooperate because of the teenagers and trespassing. I had one person tell me that he didn't have anything to say to me because it would just cause more people to walk through his gardens. Sadly, I have to agree with him. This documentary, satisfying to some or not, is not going to stop people from trespassing unfortunately. It's also caused us some problems because some of the things necessary to having a documentary, we have had problems getting because of cooperation. We should've been done awhile ago, but we need permission, etc. that is very hard to come by.

Well good job anyways! tell me if it really was

I found one from 1910 how old is the one you are talking about?

No idea.

Find out yet which house it was for sure?

Everyone has their own speculations, but nobody seems to know which house it is for sure at this time...

Well does anyone still live in it? I would think they have to have their permission first.

Yeah there is a certain picture online that seems like it would be it, but the story calls it a mansion, and it's a smaller house, and also doesn't look like it's in the woods, more like it's on the corner of the street. Wish they were more specific with it.

where can i find this picture?????

Did anyone find the real picture of it yet for sure?

~~~Cheap Plug Alert~~~

For those who are waiting, we have decided to release our documentary on Halloween. Things have progressed low and rather than rush everything and have a crappy project we decided that Halloween would be a fun event to release it on. We've created a trailer for it just for kicks. Doesn't really show too much, but we just wanted to have something since we picked a date. The trailer can be seen on our site if anybody is interested. Thanks for everyone's patience and if anybody is interested in being in the documentary, you can email us at webmaster@bbhproductionz.org. We are still doing a couple more interviews to add in. Thanks for everything!!

Cult House Documentary Trailer

from the same site
"There are a few other unexplained things about the house. First of all, the road which runs past the house is not on any map that I've ever seen (and believe me, I've looked!) The two roads that "Cult House Road" connects are on the map, but the road itself is missing. It has no visible street sign indicating its name. I believe that it is a public road because it has road signs and is not actually on the property of the house (which sits about 1/4 of a mile back from the road). The county records office can produce no title for a house in that area, matching the description. "

I was just telling some people at work about this today and decided to look it up on the internet. My buddies and I used to go there all the time in the 90s and always always get chased by a bronco with yellow fog lamps. This was one of my favorite things to do next to an abandoned house near malvern with some ventriloquist dummy. I am too old to go back to this stuff at the ripe young age of 27 but I happened to take my fiancee to the twin tunnels in downingtown 2 weeks ago. I grew up just up the street and know them well. I look forward to the documentary.

Don't go near it again if you need to. If its as the legend tells then I suggest you stay away. Satan is someone you shouldn't provoke no matter who you are. God is the only person who can destroy him and it will be soon. But I'll be there in a couple of years (may seem long but its not) and I'll check it out myself and maybe i can contact you?

--Corbin--

If Satan should happen to exist (which I highly doubt), I'm quite sure he's got better things to do than run around in the forest, scaring teenagers.

Anyway, great thread. I think it's the first time I've bothered reading a thread this long on any forum. I have to agree with what the wookie said earlier in the thread; if there's anything paranormal at all going on there, it'd most likely be connected to the Johnston murders.

Spookie. Sounds like they had a flare for good decor and landscape. lol

Like if their involved with chemicals,.... Id want nothing to do with them.

You have no idea what satan can do ok? Don't under estimate him unless its god himself.

I don't underestimate Satan because I simply don't believe in him.

Okay so I heard about this Devil's Road thing from some friends, decided to check it out, to finally end all the bull and nonsense and see for real what this place is about. My friend was driving, I was in shotgun, my friend and his girlfriend were in the back.

The road to get there, Montchain Rd. (becomes Chadds Ford Rd.) was creepy in the first place, but it might have been because we were psyched out. There was an eerie house on a lake, just weird stuff, but not anything to crap my pants.

So we find the road, it isn't marked but we watched a video on youtube and this road had the exact same fence and such as the one we saw, we turned on it and we were all like omg omg ahh.

So we start driving down the road, nothing too weird besides for not being a one way road, it was really really narrow. There were some houses on the road, one had lights on and i looked through the window inside and it was nice, saw some very nice kitchenware hanging from the ceiling. So we keep driving and see this really small animal, like a baby fox I guess not sure, made us jump but then we just laughed about it.

So we keep going and then the road narrows even more and we start seeing the tree thing. It IS true, all of the trees slant to one side, but my friend's girlfriend pointed out this is just because they are growing towards the sunlight. We were driving pretty slow, looking for anything weird, there were a lot of gated off areas but okay whatever. Then all of a sudden I saw the skull tree but my friend didn't stop in time and he wasnt about to turn around so we just kept going, I also saw a rock that someone spray painted a scary face on. OOoooo.

We keep going until we get onto a main road back to civilization. My friend does a U-turn and we went back onto the "Devil's Road" for a second run. Basically it wasn't very interesting except for I saw another small fox like creature (baby fox im assuming, too small to be an adult) on the road really far away from where we saw it before. Just assumed it was a second one. We kept going and we saw a car (like 2005 jeep or something) on and parked in one of the long driveways. When we drove past it its lights turned on and it followed us.

We were kind of creeped out and accelerated, we thought we lost him/her and kept on going on the road and turned off Devil's Road and kept going, we planned one more ride on it but my friend was too creeped out to pull into anyone's driveway. He wanted to turn into Brandywine Creek Park or something to do a U-turn which was kind of unnecessarily far away but whatever. We were driving for awhile and when we were almost there we saw that Jeep had caught up to us and was still behind us. My friend turned in, did a real quick U, and drove back toward's Devil's Road (the real name is Cossart Rd.) We stopped at an intersection to see if the guy would still be following us after the U but we were wrong, he was probably just some guy.

So we drove back to Cossart Rd., turned onto it for another run. While we were driving on it, before the skull tree, we saw another little fox thing on the road. So I told my friend to drive slow and we got to the skull tree, except it's not really a skull anymore because the town or someone poured cement into the skull shaped part to make it look normal. Now it's just a big cement hole. My friend got out of the car and touched it and ran back, wow okay.

We drove slow and went to the rock we saw earlier that was spray painted on, was a pretty detailed spray paint of a scary face, someone has too much time on their hands. We drove all the way to the main road and turned around back onto Devil's Road.

On our way back was the usual thing, we weren't creeped out at all anymore, we saw another little fox creature on the road. This place is swarming with 'em. We drove on, got back onto the main road, and that was our adventure on Devil's Road.

So as you can see, no guard trucks followed us, the skull tree is cemented in, there is really no reason to go on the road unless you have a fetish for running over little fox things or looking at big gated off driveways or have an odd interest in the growth of trees.

[Edit]: Just to clear up the whole you get fined thing. There were 0 signs indicating it as a private road, nor did we see any cops or anything.

Well everyone, after two years, we have finally finished our documentary of 'Devil's Road'. The dvd is available for purchase on our website and all of the information is also located there, plus clips of the dvd. Some of you are going to really enjoy the documentary, while others may not like it so much, however, we truly believe we have covered all the bases when it comes to this legend.
