The Story

MIDSTATE

Built in the 1960's Midstate parts & rebuilders was a national success, resulting in the construction of a sprawling industrial complex in a valley among the hills in Ferguson Kentucky. For years the business thrived and employed thousands of workers but for unexplained reasons in the 1980's the business failed. In the years that fallowed, the once vibrant business decayed into vacant disrepair and set abandoned for decades. 

​

The place slowly returned to the elements becoming a corps. Rust eats away day by day, while weeds and plants choke it at its seems. The owners locked the gates, sealing it away to its grave, hoping it would decay in peace. But unfortunately the site became paranormally active. Something evil began to fester in the rotting remains of the industrial park. The caretaker and visitors began to speak of stranger phenomenon: cold chills, red eyes in the woods, moving shadows in the dark, strange cultic graffiti, the sound of an animal calling out in pain.    

​

In 2017 on one fateful Halloween night some teenagers snuck in and had a party inside the park. But one by one they began to disappear into the darkness. Finally they were attacked by some kind of giant creature or demon. The kids scattered and fled for their lives. The caretaker said he heard the screams from his nearby house and came to the front gate where he found a young girl pleading to be let out. But the caretaker couldn't get to his key fast enough. She was drug away into the dark by what the man described as "A shadow with a rams skull for a head".

​

The next day bits and pieces were found of the teenagers. One had her throat slit, another was found with their organs removed, while fingers or teeth were the only things found of some, and others went missing without a trace. Even their families hope that they are dead. The police never found any perpetrators and from then on, the gates were locked to keep whatever dwelt there, inside.

Now, under new management, the park is being allowed to reopen to let people explore for themselves, what truly lurks in the shadows there...
