Some facts about where I grew up…

This may not relate to the paranormal that I know of, but seems kind of odd to me. I grew up in the country, surrounded by farmland in a small valley which a river runs through, and not too many neighbors, the inhabitants of a city block would would completely dwarf the amount of people that have ever lived there. 

So the oddities relate to death, I estimate that about 18 or more people have been found dead form an unnatural death, everything ranging from drowning, to suicide, to a triple homicide have been found within about a five mile radius.

The earliest account I know of was something that happened when my dad was  a kid, there was a boy his age who was riding his bike down the hill and got hit by a large truck, and from there it ranges from more accidents to a few intentional.

There have been three drowning victims that I know of that have been discovered through the years, two happening there in the valley, one being my grandpa, and one that died up river and ended up a short distance from my parents, this one is more recent.

Now I move onto more vehicle related incidents, an airman from the nearby airbase who was traveling to a back entrance with another airman, swerved to avoid a cow in the road at night or early morning, which drove into a canyon and lost his life. The next is fairly recent also, it was a young guy around 22 that I went to school with, and was the son of a dentist in the nearby town that I used over the years, fell asleep at the wheel and drove off into the river and of course died.

The next ones I will mention end in cide, one was the suicide of the town sheriffs son, who drove off down a back road and shot himself, which my dad remembers seeing the car, but thinking nothing of it. The next one is a little more terrible, but I am not sure if it happened there, or if it just ended up there, but was when a man killed his girlfriend and her three kids, some, if not all, where not his. Last thing I remember he was on Americas Most Wanted, and I believe on the FBI’s most wanted list, but he fled to Mexico, and I am not sure if he ever got caught, but most likely not. I will not go into the rest because I can’t recall them all, but I know there are close to that many. 

I don’t know if there may be a reason behind these, such as a curse, all I know is that American Indians would camp and hunt there, because not everything weird or mysterious is caused by humans with a greater connection with the spiritual world, like American Indians, but I can only wonder if they are somehow related in some way, or just a matter of chance.

Well, thats it, and be sure to remember that things aren’t always as they seem, but usually are, so don’t be convinced everything is mysterious in nature before looking for all possible causes using all resources in your disposal.
