Horizon farms haunted nature preserve
In 1990 John Heraldson killed his wife Maria and two children Thomas and Lauren. After murdering them with his 1982 Smith and Wesson 357 magnum he turned the gun to himself. After hearing the gunshots 2 stablehands ran over from their quarters (a smaller house on the property) finding the bodies. The two children were stuffed in a closet and the wife was found in bed. Four years later a man Richard Kipman bought this house for him and his wife Margaret. The couple started telling the stable hands that they heard noises at night and saw shadows but we're convinced it was just their minds playing tricks. Eventually Mr. Kipman would wake up screaming so loud the stablehands would run from their quarters because they thought there was an intruder. He reported hearing screams coming from the closet and being touched in bed while the other was not touching them at all or waking up with a feeling as if someone was sitting on their chest. Mr. Kipman ended up abandoning the property but not selling it. He declared bankruptcy in 2009 and the property was given to the state. In 2015 it was opened to the public as a nature preserve. It is illegal to go into the house itself but you are aloud to visit. Spectators have said they've heard children screaming or women crying from the inside.
