Now this actually happened in Winona. Though the incident is not entirely something which you will sympathize with, their is a fair amount of tragedy involved in it. I feel lucky to find out that this incident has survivors. Normally these kind of paranormal encounters mean there are odds stacked up against survivals, but some of them make it out alive, and live to tell what happened to them in the havoc. This happened in a haunted house in the outskirts of Winona .
Now Winona is a peaceful town and incidents like these are extremely rare. This story specifically never made it to the news channel. Why did it not make to prime time television news channels? Well, there are many reasons. There were considerable loopholes in reconstruction and motive of the crime. Lack of primary evidence was another. The victims of the incident were involved in a criminal activity. A heist, two murders and lot of other charges were slapped on them.
YES, you read it right. The victims were criminals.
Now this was the 1960s and Winona was experiencing a lot of racial tension. The entire neighborhood was affected by the civil rights movements and protests. It was unsafe to go out at night. Shops were looted, people were carjacked and pizzerias and delis were broken into and robbed off all the cash and food.
Anyway, the incident isn't related to all of this stuff.
One night a group of robbers made a rich heist. There were five of them. They had made two successful carjacks and broken into two houses in a posh neighborhood. They were on a stealing spree and looted all that came their way.
They collected all the stash and made it to the woods near the Northern Hunter Lake end near Longville.They found an abandoned house and decided to stopover for the night. It seemed like a cozy place to retire for the night.
They partied hard and drunk all night. When it was midnight, they decided to assess the worth of the loot. There was no electricity in the house. There were lanterns in the house and you could place them in the holders. The robbers had done just that. Then they started with their assessment.
As the band was in midst of their assessment, the lights went out. So they sent one of the members to fetch some match(It was lying in the kitchen). They also asked him to bring some food and drinks.
This man, in a drunken stupor. The counting continues, but he doesn't come back. They ask another of their buddies to go to the kitchen, lest the first man might have passed out and might need some assistance. They resumed their counting.
Can you presume what might have happened next?
This friend too did not return.
This scared the shit out of them all. What had become of their friends? Were they hurt? Had something happened to them? In fact, the atmosphere had started to become eerie.
The three of them walked hand in hand down the stairway, slowly edging their way in the darkness. They felt their way through the hallway.
They reached the kitchen. They could see light streaking out of it. The flame was flickering constantly, because the shadows in the kitchen were dancing.
As they entered the kitchen, they were shaken to see the scene inside. It was the most horrifying sight of their lives!
They saw that their pal who had gone in second was sitting atop one who had left first. He had driven a big sharp across his heart and the man lay in a pool of blood.
He turned towards other three. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was all scarlet with blood on his clothes and face. It seemed that the bloodbath had intensified his desire and that he would indulge in another stabbing frenzy.
He then started to slash the knife in the air wildly. They backed off and yelled him to come back in his right mind, but it seemed he was possessed.
He made another swipe in the air with his knife. He connected this time, and made a deep cut on his accomplice who was standing in front.
The three of them overpowered him and took the knife out of his grip. Two of them tackled him and drove the knife deep in his abdomen.
The possessed man let out a deep wail of agony. He bellowed his lungs out and slowly everything became silent. Then there was a burst of laughter in the house. Somebody was cackling in mirth at that unmanly incident.
No, it wasn't the friend whose guts they had just ripped out. It was the other one who was murdered first. Though he couldn't gt up, his pitch of laughter grew with every passing second. The three of them rushed out of their house.
They scrambled out of the forest. One of them managed to stop a patrol car that was on a night beat. He narrated the entire incident to the detective before passing out.
The next morning the cops launched a search operation and located the other two living members of the band in a desolate part of the forest. They were in a state of trauma. The two bodies have also been recovered, but nobody could form a sound theory to explain what had really happened in that house.
