Corpsewood Pictures

Yes, two days late, most certainly I apologize for that. And they aren't anything really spectacular, so keep a look out for my future pictures from the second go.

When I spotted this, I knew I was close. Summerville is just five miles south of the haunted locale. However what they dont tell you, is Summerville is about 65 miles away from this sign, or was it 66.6? Either way, I knew it was a good sign.

Okay, bad puns aside, Im still amazed at our ability to hide and sequester away some of the most interesting places I've ever heard of. Trion, the nearby town, has gone to great lengths to reduce traffic to the house. But that didn't stop me!

Local law enforcement have driven these stakes up, blocking our way into the Manor.

Its unfortunate though, as the decency of the people of Trion, the efforts of their Law Enforcement, and a rain storm couldn't stop me. But a black bear certainly did.

I will return.

Corpsewood Trip

Hey all! Finally made it to Corpsewood! What an interesting...journey it was to get there. I did it over the weekend, and so far, I am interested to go back out. Unfortunately, I didn't get many pictures of the ruins themselves. But I have a good reason.

The drive itself only takes about $10 USD in petrol, and is about two hours north of Atlanta. If you know what highways your sticking too, it actually isn't to hard to get to Summerville, or even to Corpsewood Manor itself.

You have to drive on an Abandoned Road, for a good few miles, up a mountain side, and the pavement quickly gives way to gravel and dirt. As the road is supposed to be closed, you have to find a way to either hide your car, or have a driver who can drive back and pick you up after you've done your investigation.

When you get to the spot, you'll see the town has erected three concrete pillars, totally blocking passage to the manor. From there, you will have to proceed by foot.

I noticed alot of Shot Gun Shells, and just as I was cresting the road towards the Manor Ruins, I saw what was either a big dog, or a small bear, in the treeline. I only had a knife on me, so I made my way back to the car, and am now determined to return with a full crew and a gun, to do a more thorough investigation.

I'll post what few pictures I got tommorrow! Stay tuned!

Wow...One Month

This has been the longest break I've taken from this blog since I've started it. I will be the first to admit, that it is very hard to come up with fresh new content to post about. But, Im getting my refund very soon, so I will definately have more things to post.

I'm planning one big trip into Canton, and then up into Rome, to get some pictures and stock footage of both Hell's Church and Corpsewood Manor. I recently took a trip down to Savannah...totally forgot to bring my camera though. At least I know my car can make it.

I'm very excited as I'm finally back in school. Things seem to be turning around fo me! I'm still undecided whether or not I will pursue the Village Inn Bed and Breakfast film. Its now seeming as if it would be a monumental waste of time and money.

I will call them and make appropriate contacts and let you guys know.

But most definately, the Corpsewood Manor shoot will go well. Also, if anyone knows anyone who owns the book "Murder at Corpsewood" please let me know. Im looking to purchase it, and would be willing to pay a premium.

I've decided, in my wisdom, that I will pay paying the full amount for the formation of the Four Rose Charity myself. Im setting aside $200 a month for six months, if possible, so that I can reach that point. However, if you would like to contact me about donations, or selling the book, my email is below.

Thanks guys!

Corpsewood Manor Documentary

Got some great new information about the manor, and have located on Google maps what I believe is the site. However, I will depend alot upon the directions of locals when we get up there and prepare for shooting. That is, after all, the goal.

Second movie looked like it was going to be about Hell's Church, but as of yet, I haven't found enough information about the Church to make it appealing to me. So I might just go ahead, go for the gusto, and do Corpsewood Manor.

I'm thinking, if I can ride up there myself and get some photos and footage, it might do well. Then I can do most of the filming down here in Atlanta.

Anyone have any opinions? And don't forget to donate to the Four Rose fund!

Corpse Wood Manor

Introduction
One of my favorite stories of haunted locations in all of Georgi, is that of Corpse Wood Manor. Unfortuantely, I've yet to have the opportunity to visit the manor and examine it myself. However, maybe if this blog takes off, I can visit it, and by an applicable domain to support it. So however you can support me, is appreciated.

The Manor & Dr. Scuddle

The story starts in Chicago, at Layola University, where Dr. Charles Scuttle was a chemical engineer. I have confirmed his existance there through at least one method, as I've seen his name mentioned in the 1972 edition of the Stethescope, as part recipient of a government grant at that time.

In a bit of a tangent, I've also seen Dr. Scuttle's name mentioned in some documentation involving project MK-ULTRA. This was a supposed government experiment to test LSD on unknowing test subjects. While his involvement can't be confirmed, it does seem interesting that the grant was given to the Chemical Department of a small Catholic University. The grant was for $600,000 USD, which seems alot in 1972. I will do my best to contact departmet heads and ask them about this, and update you guys in the future.

But back to the matter at hand. Dr Scuttle moved to Atlanta, from Chicago, giving the impression that he wanted to getaway from city ife. He later moved out further to Rome, Georgia and further to Trion. Finally comin there, he bought lad in an area know as the Corpsewoods, and built his own manor.

The Manor was self-sufficient, and was located within 15 miles of the city of Trion (which today, has a popultion of 1600 people). The events that take place in the story happened in 1982, which is important in establishing context of the events. So far as I can tell, the events as I describe them happened. However a few elements are derivitive of local stories, and much harder to confirm. Those elements will be put in Italics.

I'd suggest picking up a copy of the 'Murders at Corpsewoods' for your own investigation. It was written by a man named James Budd.

The Murders

When Dr. Scuttle moved into Corpsewood, he didn't move in alone. In truth, he moved with his Partner Joey Odum. So, Dr. Scuttle was a homosexual. That much we can be certin about, and given the climate of rural Georgia in th early 80s, I imagine it must've been a rarity, especially to be open and out about it.

But be that as it may. Dr. Scuttle and his partner would have parties at their manor, and it was thought drugs were often involved. Some of the local attendees were locals Kenneth Avery Brock and Tony West. It is a definate that the two knew Scuttle enough to know, probably rightly, that he had money.

It is ofte assumed that the upper portion of the Chicken Coop, which they had built themselves, they had converted into a play-pen of sorts. Supposedly they used it as a den for drug use, and other perverse things. One of the buildings that still stands today, is the Chicken Coop.

On December 12th, 1982 they came to the conclusion that they would rob Dr. Scuttle. However, the event didn't go as planned when Odum, Scuttle, and apparently Scuttle's dogs resisted the robbery. Not to mention that, despite being off-the-grid, they still kept their money in the bank.

This didn't stop them from killing Odum and Scuttle. Though, it is said all they escaped with was a small golden Harp.

Supposedly, the town's folk showed up, to find the gruesome scene. But supposedly, they found all sorts of occult memorabilia. Many quickly came to the conclusion that Scuttle and Odum were devil-worshippers. The house was either burned, or some how grounded so that only two buildings remain today.

And the whole region, many investigators contend, is incredibly haunted. However, there is much more to this story, so subscribe, and keep reading!
