Diablo (True Story)

1960 Barkforth, Arkansas Newspaper:

In 1917, the Porter family was gruesomely slaughtered in their quaint little Victorian house at the edge of town. Six people were found dead in and around the house, as listed: Abigail Mason, her daughter Mary Lynn Porter, her son-in-law Roger Porter, and her grandchildren Molly, (14), Bennett, who was mentally retarded, (12) and Amelia Porter, (8).

All died with broken necks, severe abrasions in the torso, arm and legs and all seemed to have struggled.

There were no suspects and no murder weapon ever discovered.

According to police medical examiners, they were all clawed by some kind of animal. But none of the local wild animals seem to fit the description, which can only make everyone wonder; who or what killed the Porter family, and why?

The only thing that was seemingly out of place was the messages written in the Porter family's blood, marked on different angles and faces on the back of the house, all two feet from the ground. The police took a picture from the wheat field behind the family's house, where the words came together, reading eerily: Watch Them Die.

The only thing remaining of the Porter family that gave us any observation on their life whatsoever was the diary of the youngest Porter, the startling death of eight year old Amelia Porter.

Typed from Amelia's childish handwriting, the strange evidence is all we have left of the Porter family.

This is her diary.
