Another Wright County Mystery

["Mysti"]

Although I haven't been able to do any hunting or investigating lately, that doesn't mean that I've gave up on everything. And sometimes you learn about some interesting events when you least expect to, as is this case.

Last weekend on our way to Humboldt, we were driving along Highway 3 and were talking about various things. At the same time we happened to be going past "Disappearance house" so we got onto the topic of the history & mystery surrounding the house. Afterwards I was told of another story.

Although right at his point and time, I have yet to be able to get all the details and so I can't give alot of information I do intend to follow up on the story and see if I can find any other facts on the case.

Apparently there was more than 1 disappearance that occured in our area. The story I was told was of an entire family vanishing from a local area. Apparently they were camping at the location and they were gone. All that was found by the next person or persons was the food that was still hot sitting at the table.

Like I said, I don't have all of the details so until I can find out more I'll keep the location itself private. But I will say that I have personally been at the place (twice) and was never comfortable either time, so I honestly didn't stick around long.

But now that my curiosity has been peaked I may have to go back and do some investigating... but NOT alone. I had actually planned on trying to get more info on this here in the last week, but with how the weather has been I decided to stay in.

However if the weather permits, and I can actually get some time, I will be going and seeing if I can find anyone else who knows the story and will also try to check the archives of the Library to see if there's anything about it there.

So I'll keep you all posted.

Well I'm intrigued! Is this place where the family disappeared from, a park or access?
Also where can I access the story about the disappearing house?

TT,
It's sort of a park, but not like most common parks. As in there's not a playground, ect. where kids would play at, or at least none that I've ever noticed. Although I've honestly only been there twice.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to get some more info on the whole story, then as soon as I get the details I'll post them here. I'm going to try to talk the local "historian" here bur I do want to check out archives for info to.

As for the story about Disappearance house it's here on the site under Haunted locations on page 2. Or if I do this right this link should take you right to it. (fingers crossed lol)

Another interesting thing I just thought of was in reguards to the house on Highway 3 right before you get to the Interstate turn off. The one that sits way back off the road with the long lane.

I know that you mentioned that you had been there and somewhat checked it out. I'm curious to know what condition it was in at that time. Because from what I can see now it looks like it's in major disrepair.

BUT, last year there were several of us (at different times by ourselves, and together on other occasions) that actually saw the house completely lit up like someone was living in it. And honestly from what I can tell by the road I really don't think that's possible. But I do know what I saw.

So I'm thinking about doing some background checks on that property to. Maybe there's some logical explanation to it, or maybe there's someone who'll let us check it out. So I'm going to see what I can find out.

Yes! I was in the house. It is in pretty bad shape, and I doubt there is any working electrical connections in the house. The windows, and doors are pretty much nonexistant. The floor boards are rotten, and I didn't venture into the house very far, for fear of falling through the floor.
I also suspect it's the home of many wild critters like raccoons, and skunks.
I walked around the acreage, and there was an old barn or garage. I can't remember as it's been a few years. It was probably a nice home at one time and a pleasant farm place. I like the long tree lined lane, though it's treacherous when it has rained.
As I walked around the yard I spied some Aspargus, and picked it. From that stand point I found my time there worth while.
That's about all I remember about being there.
