The Villisca Iowa Axe Murder House Investigation
June 10 th, 2008
Supplemental Report...Submitted by Josh
Well, I’m only going to write what happened from the start of the actual investigation, because we were there for a really long time. But anyways, here we go. I apologize the lack of clarity, but it was pretty boring until the time the murders occurred. Mostly things that could be picked out by wind or other such things but one incident when Julie, Erin and I were upstairs we felt the presence of a male on the bed in the parent’s bedroom. Interviewed this entity (you know what I mean) and got more of a guilty stubborn feeling from him and not much else.
Not many other places were very noteworthy either, some strange stuff with the balls in Lena and Ina’s room though. And we felt as if the young boy was hiding in the corner being too shy to come out in the playroom upstairs. Earlier in the night I had a strange dream thing that entailed the death of one of the visiting girls, the older one, because I remember something about a younger sister or whatever, totally irrelevant but whatever, imaginations. Anyway, it did however lead me to an area in the backyard by the pump that gave Julie, Erin and I a strange sensation.
Throughout most of the night, things kept happening as if we were being incorporated into the daily lives of the “people” there. As if they knew something was coming and at the same time they didn’t. Nothing really spectacular or out of the ordinary really. Julie told me something weird about the front yard area by the cellar doors. I didn’t really get much there though. So yeah, pretty mundane until later on.
After most of this other stuff had occurred minus a few other things that were blown off as silly nonsense, the time of the murders was close; we all know the story of how it repeats. But anyways, Erin, Julie, and I were in the little girls’ visitor room, Lena and Ina and we waited, then all of a sudden the train went by and it was amazing! Nothing happened. Wrong train? But then roughly ten minutes later another train came, this was the right one and all of a sudden I heard what sounded like footsteps, fast footsteps. Still somehow envisioning it all happening, but not like watching a movie, or a play or anything that has to do with normal perspective thought of any kind. It was happening and I heard screams that sounded like they came from young girls (oddly enough) and it continued playing out for the next 10-15 minutes or so, it was shocking… And all of the dogs in the neighborhood started barking uncontrollably throughout the event and shortly after. I thought it strange they didn’t bark when all the other trains passed earlier.
Ok, so, that’s the brunt of it, only a couple of small things after we started packing up a bit but again, nothing strange that couldn’t have been pinned on the wind. So we packed up and got out of there.
