The Events of These Reports are Based on Information Given by Eyewitness Accounts and Police Reports. The Views Expressed are not of the Interviewer.

Young JasonJason Voorhees was born to Pamela and Elias Voorhees. Very little is known about Elias other than he was an alcoholic and abandoned the family due to Jason's condition. He would later father a daughter named Diana and disappeared, his body being found months later in a ditch. Jason, being mentally and physically disabled, died while attending Camp Crystal Lake where his mother was a cook. He had jumped in the lake while the counselors were distracted and drowned. However, his body was never recovered. That same year, Camp Crystal lake was the home to two murders and was shut down. Every attempt to re-open the cam was halted due to what can only be assumed interference by Pamela Voorhees. The Camp finally re-opened in 1979, 21 years after the first murders occurred.

Pamela VorheesOn June 13th 1979, Pamela Voorhees killed six camp counselors. The only survivor of the rampage, Alice, killed Pamela and was treated for shock. Two months later, Alice disappeared. Five years later, in July of 1984, Camp Crystal Lake re-opened once again. Over six days, Jason Voorhees was reported to have killed 52 people before young Tommy Jarvis impaled him in the head with his machete. This event is supported by not one but two coroner internment reports, a record fifteen police reports, and six witnesses, three of them claiming to have killed Jason. Crystal Lake was shut down one again, and renamed Forest Green.>

Tommy Jarvis

Two years later, Forest Green's name is changed back to Crystal Lake and marketed as a tourist trap. All was quiet again until 1992, when Jason rose from the grave. Even though Camp Crystal Lake is at this time defunct, the primary victims are still teenagers. Eleven people were murdered over a period of four days. The police start to report the incidents, but do not arrest the survivors.

A year later, Jason was reported on the cruise ship The Lazarus and then in Manhattan. Everyone on-board the Lazarus died save for two teenagers who reported to the police soon after port.

Jason VorheesSomehow, the deaths continued at Crystal Lake until 1996, where in police shoot and kill a man in the woods assuming him to be Jason. The Coroner for the case disappeared and was found dead 3 miles away from the morgue where Jason's body was interred. It is assumed he started copycat killing, yet oddly his body when examined had been dead for two days with his heart missing. That would place the time of his death as the night he disappeared from the morgue. Several more bodies were reported to be found in the same condition, each one found to have been dead yet many were seen just hours prior in town. This discrepancy is not addressed in the FBI files. The killings continued for a period of three days, each getting closer to Crystal Lake. Diana Kimble was found dead in her home, stabbed in the back. Her body then disappeared from the morgue. It was assumed it is the work of her daughters boyfriend, Steven Freeman. On the night of October 21st, five people were killed around the old Voorhees home, one of these being the famous Creighton Duke. Freeman, Jessica Kimble and their child are allowed to return home after brief questioning.

Five years later, Jason is spotted in Springwood, Ohio. Little information is available on this incident, as most of the files seem to refer to previous case subject Fredrick Krueger. As they referred to Krueger, most of the police files from the Springwood Police Department have been destroyed. It is said by the survivors that both attacked the town at the same time, however this is very unlikely. As of this writing, the Voorhees case remains open. Camp Crystal Lake is slated to open again for the Summer 2010 season. The new camp claims to be in a fenced enclosure and touts complimentary police protection as well as mandatory self-defense courses.

Legends of Horror ~ Charles Lee Ray (aka Chucky)

by Rae Schuetz 6. June 2010 00:09

Charles lee RayCharles (Chucky) Lee Ray, The Lakeshore Strangler
Height: 5'9
Weight: Unknown
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Blue
D.O.B: Unknown
Last Known Place of Residence: Buried in Hackensack, NJ, 1988.
Last Known Employer: N.A.

Charles Lee Ray, also known as The Lakeshore Strangler, was a serial killer outside of Chicago Illinois. It was here that he killed at the very least 16-22 people, the most prominent being Vivian Van-Pelt, the heiress of the Van-Pelt fortune. His press name was a bit of a misnomer, with only his first killing being carried out through strangulation. The rest were carried out through various means, but primarily through repeated stabbings through the hearts and subsequent victims were found ritualistically staged Petro Loa Voodoo sacrifices. Ray's physical whereabouts were last reported to be fleeing from the scene of a murder with his accomplice Eddie Kaputo. A silent alarm was tripped, and the police gave chase. Kaputo, sensing danger, forced Ray out of the car where he was chased on foot by the police and killedCharles Lee Ray.

While Ray's body died, his reputation did not. Two weeks after the death of Ray, the homicides began again, this time centering on a 6-year-old boy named Charles Barkley. Barkley was found with a Good Guy doll at the scene of the death of Eddie Kaputo and taken in for psychiatric evaluation. It is during this time that several more killings occurred, many of them previous contacts of Ray's. Barkley made claim that it was the doll's doing. Two days after, the boy's mother and the lead detective on the case would be put into psychotic care after being admitted to a hospital with severe wounds. When questioned, all parties claimed it was the doing of the doll. The doll, a viable piece of evidence was taken by Play Pal Inc. Barkley was put into foster care and given psychiatric care. The case was closed due to lack of evidence, though blood found on the scene matched that of Ray.

Two years later, the killings started again. Barkley after having gone under extreme psychological counseling, was deemed fit to be adopted out to an experienced foster family. It was during this time that all who came into contact with Barkley was killed. His foster father was reported to have died of a broken neck three weeks after Barkley's adoption. It was at this time that Barkley was sent back to the orphanage, but within hours he had escaped,Andy Barkley killing his psychologist and the head of the orphanage. Five hours later, Barkley and his foster sister Kyle appeared at the police station and gave the story that the Good Guy doll from before had killed everyone, and led police to the bodies of his slain foster mother as well as those of their other victims. As both were underage, they were arrested in put in juvenile corrective facilities. The press from the incident caused Play Pal Toys to shut down. The alleged doll was found semi melted on the floor of the factory. It is unknown what was done with it, but it is assumed to have been recycled or destroyed at some point.

Chucky killings settled down for eight years, until Play Pal Toys once again opened its doors. At this time, Barkley had been pardoned for the crimes, with no evidence having been produced pointing to his involvement and thus after years in foster care he had been enrolled in a Military Academy. Three days after his enrollment, several of the teachers and the cadets were found killed in various ways, the majority being killed during a yearly war game in which paint rounds had been replaced with live ammo. When the police arrived, they once again found Barkley at the scene of the crime, and again all parties put the blame on the doll. The remains of the doll, while badly beaten, was taken as evidence and Barkley was arrested. His current whereabouts are unknown, as he changed his name after the ensuing trial and his acquittal due to the abduction of the doll from evidence and the subsequent killings that took place.

Two weeks after the arrest of Barkley and three weeks before his trial, the doll was removed from evidence by the night guard on duty, who was later found killed. A week after this, the doll who had now become known as "chucky" in the media was once again reported to be on the loose. Jesse and Jade, a couple who had eloped, went on a cross country killing spree, eventually ending up in Hackensack New Jersey where they were apprehended by police. The case became another media frenzy with the strange death of a previously unknown partner of Ray Tiffany Valentine, and fingerprint evidence linking Ray to the murders eight years after his death. The stolen doll was found on the scene of the crime along with another female doll. Jesse and Jade while out on bail told the press about their story. Andy Barkley was let out of jail, and after subsequent investigation Jesse and Jade were released.

ChuckyThe story of Jesse and Jade, along with the story of Barkley, became popular in both the media and urban legend. Six years later, on the set of a movie based on the events called "Chucky Goes Crazy," the murders began again . It was during this time that the wife of the night officer who had originally stolen the doll had been called by someone claiming to be Tiffany Valentine. Before the killing was done, Jennifer Tilly was found bound and gagged in her own home, with her two children close by. It was not known that she was pregnant or how she kept it secret as she had been seen just days earlier showing no sign of pregnancy. Originally she claimed it the doing of talking dolls, but after a rest she changed her story and denied all involvement with the case. She currently resides in Pasadena with her two children.

With the media frenzy that followed, the production of "Chucky Goes Crazy" was put on hold until 2008. Don Mancini, one of the interns on the unfinished film, rewrote the script and plans to release the film under the new name "Child's Play," sometime in 2011.

Eye Color: Brown.
D.O.B: Unknown.
Last Known Place of Residence: Dearborn Michigan
Last Employer: S-mart.

 

These are the Events at the Knowby Cabin as relayed to the Interviewer by a Mr. Ashley J. Williams. All Times stated are close approximations based on the patients memories.

It is estimated that Ashley J Williams, a native of Michigan, first encountered The Necronomicon Exmortis in a cabin owned by Professor Raymond Knowby and his wife Henrietta in November of last year. Ash, with four others including his girlfriend Linda, his sister Cheryl, and his friends Scotty and Shelly, had arrived at the cabin in Southern Tennessee to take a weekend retreat during their fall break from MSU. The reported events of the next seven days are as follows.

Knowby CabinFirst Day: Mr. Williams and his friends arrive at the Knowby Cabin at around Five P.M. All was reported to be well until 8:30 that evening when a disturbance was noted in the cellar. Mr. Williams had gone into the cellar with a friend to investigate and found the research tools of Professor Raymond Knowby, most prominent of these being an "Old tape recorder, and the book." Around 9:00 P.M, he and his friends played the tape, and learned of the nature of Knowby's research. Two hours later, after most of the party had retired, Cheryl allegedly came to the front door in distress. She claimed to have been sexually assaulted by the trees of the forest after she went outside to investigate the sound. Mr. Williams, against his better judgment, conceded to drive her back to town. When he went to do so, however, the two found the bridge to the cabin "Curled over on both sides."

Evil Hand2nd Day: At 12 A.M, Cheryl Williams became "possessed," and reportedly floated four feet in the air. She then attacked the rest of the party until she was locked into the cellar. About an hour later, a scream was heard coming from Shelly in a back room along with the sound of glass breaking. Scotty went to investigate and was then attacked by a "possessed" Shelly. Mr. Williams grabbed an axe to defend himself, only to have it taken from him and used on Shelly. The two then buried her outside of the premises. At around 4:00 A.M, Scotty went into the woods to find a way around the bridge, while Mr. Williams was left alone with his sister and his girlfriend. It was during this time that Linda became "possessed," yet unresponsive. Scotty returned to the cabin mortally wounded claiming assault by the trees. Linda taunts Mr. Williams and attacked him. During the ensuing struggle, Mr. Williams stabbed her, and tried to bury her in a shallow grave, only to have her attack him again. He then cut off her head with a shovel. He then buried her remains and returned to the cabin to find Scotty dead and the cellar door open. Mr. Williams was then attacked by his sister and a reanimated Scotty. It was then that he burned the book, and the two "melted." Mr. Williams stepped out of the cabin and was attacked by an unseen force. His next memory occurs around 5:00 P.M, When he woke up in the mud outside the cabin. He then attempted to flee, only to be reminded that the bridge was out. Mr. Williams was then pursued again by the unseen force, and hid in the cellar. After boarding up the windows of the cabin, Mr. Williams fell into a fitful sleep, only to be awakened by the corpse of Linda rising from the grave and attacking him. After cutting up her body and burying it again, Mr. Williams reports that his hand became possessed and attacked him. He was forced to cut it off with a chainsaw and then "chase it through the cabin."

3rd Day: 12:00 A.M. Annie Knowby, the daughter of Raymond and Henrietta Knowby, along with her fiancé Edward and her traveling party arrived at the cabin from a side road. Mr. Williams shot at the door and hit the unknown female of the group, andBook of the Dead was then attacked by Jake and the un-named male and thrown into the cellar. It was during this time Mr. Williams and the rest of the party heard the latter half of the tape, where in Professor Knowby admitted to the murder of his wife. It was at this time Henrietta Knowby crawled out of the floor of the fruit cellar and attacked Mr. Williams. The Knowby party let him out of the cellar and allowed him to explain his story after locking in the animated corpse of Henrietta Knowby. At around 2:30 A.M., Edward became the next victim of possession and subsequently was dismembered by Mr. Williams. It was soon after that Mr. Williams claims a ghostly apparition of Professor Knowby entered the cabin and informed the party on how to destroy the evil force using lost pages from the book. Soon afterwards, the unknown female fled into the woods in fear. She was never seen again. The unknown male then forced Mr. Williams and Ms. Knowby into the woods at gunpoint. It was during this time Mr. Williams believes he became possessed. His next recollection centers on him being attacked by Ms. Knowby with an ax, and calming her long enough to construct a weapon to fight the possessed Henrietta. He retrieved the pages of the book and dismembered Henrietta, while Ms. Knowby set about reciting the passages to destroy the evil. It was during this process that Mr. Williams dismembered hand attacked Ms. Knowby, killing her in the process. A portal to the 1300's was then opened up and sucked the evil force and Mr. Williams back through time. Mr. Williams fell from the portal into the 1300's, where he was then attacked by the forces of King Arthur. He was then thrown in a pit full of "Deadites," and defeated them while gaining the favor of both King Arthur's and Henry the Red's courts and gaining the affection of one Sheila.

4th Day: Mr. Williams constructed a prosthetic hand out of a suit of Armor, and then set out to find the book in the past so that he could return back to his own time. During this period, (please note that time had become of inconsequence,) Mr. Williams had fought several miniature versions of himself, grown a full sized evil version of himself painfully from his body, and then disposed of said version of himself. He then found the book, but unfortunately did not recite a spell correctly and thus "woke up an army of the un-dead," led by his undead evil twin. Upon returning to King Arthurs court, Mr. Williams and Sheila were attacked and Sheila abducted by a flying Deadite.

Days 5 and 6 were marked with preparation. Mr. Williams taught the court how to make gunpowder, how to fight, and modified his car to run on steam power while the armies of the dead and Henry the Red marched towards the castle.

7th Day: Mr. Williams led the defense against the army of the dead. With his improved tools, Mr. Williams and the armies of Henry the Red and King Arthur defeated the Deadite army and the Evil Mr. Williams. Mr. Williams was then offered the role of king but turned it down to return home to his time.

Mr. Williams was admitted to our care on Memorial Day of this year after a customer attacked him and a co-worker. Mr. Williams took it upon himself to attack the customer and killed her with a double barrel shotgun attained from S-mart's sporting goods section.

Addendum: Soon after his admittance, he was found not guilty by a court of law due to self-defense. He was brought up on charges of abduction in the missing persons cases he claims to have part in, but was later acquitted due to lack of evidence. Recommendation of detainment for psychological analysis was rejected. Mr. Williams whereabouts are unknown as of this time.

Legends of Horror ~ Freddy Krueger

by Rae Schuetz 1. June 2010 21:20

Fredrick Charles Krueger
Height: 5' 10"
Weight: 178 pounds at death
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Last Known Residence: Springwood, Ohio.
Last Known Employer: Unknown

Fred Krueger was born to Sister Mary Helena (Amanda) Krueger. Amanda had been working at Our Lady of Sorrows, an insane asylum run by the church. The day before the Christmas weekend, Amanda had been feeding the worst inmates when the guards accidentally locked her in. Over the long weekend, Amanda was raped hundreds of times. Nine months later, Fred was born and given over to the state.

Over the years, several reports emerged about Freddy's maladjustment to society. When he was eight, his teacher reported that he killed the class hamster with a large mallet in front of the other students. He was then moved to a new homeroom, but he frequently got into fights with other students. By age 16, he had dropped out of school. Soon after Freddy left school, his foster father was found dead, having bled to death from multiple cuts on his body. Freddy was taken in for questioning, but was released due to lack of evidence. It must be noted that there is evidence of abuse occurring, but nothing could ever be substantiated.

Years later, Freddy got married and started a family. During this time large family pets, and then children, started to disappear around the Springwood area. Krueger's wife soon disappeared without a trace. Her body was later discovered buried under the rose bushes of the Krueger household. Throughout the course of the investigation, Krueger was implicated in the murders and arrested. His daughter, Katharine, was put into foster care. The trial lasted two and a half years and Krueger was eventually exonerated due to improper arresting procedure. The parents of those killed, along with those who feared Krueger, sought justice. They burned Krueger alive in the boiler room of the power plant on the outskirts of town.

Unfortunately, death was not the end of Krueger. Five years later, the children of Springwood started dying strange and bloody deaths. Many ended up institutionalized or moving away from Springwood, but there was no escaping this strange phenome non. Death seemed to follow the children of Springwood and those that managed to survive this savage bloodbath had an extremely high suicide rate. It was said by the few who survived that Freddy Krueger was back from the grave, seeking revenge by terrorizing the children of those that murdered him in their dreams. He appeared burned, in the same red and green sweater he was killed in, weilding the same glove of razor sharp knives he used in life. With the ability to turn into anything, Freddy haunted and ultimately killed all of the teens of Springwood one by one. Those who had woken from dreams would often display wounds similar to those they dreamt of. These claims were obviously ignored by the authorities.

Finally, an answer had been found. A new drug named Hypnocil was found to suppress dreams. While the adaptation of this drug was slow, all residents and ex-residents of Springwood now take it. Sadly, in the time it took to become approved by the FDA, over 70 children and teens had died. The city of Springwood became stagnant, and many of the remaining adults went mad. By the end of the 1990's, government aid was focused on Springwood and a new mental institution was built for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder over the death of their children. The city was rebuilt from the ground up, and families once again moved in. All of them were supplied with complimentary prescriptions for Hypnocil, and to ensure the past would not repeat itself, a sleep institute was founded in the town.

However, after nearly ten years of silence, the threat of Freddy once again reared its ugly head, and the deaths began again. Sixteen teenagers were killed, and after a period of two weeks the killings stopped. Several families once again moved away from Springwood, but most of them still renew their Hypnocil prescriptions. Today, the town of Springwood still fears the legacy of Fredrick Krueger. While his terror spanned 30 years after his death, there is hope that one day Springwood can forget his terrible legacy.
