Robert White aka "TeddyScare"

Robert White (born Robert Charles White) was born in Salem Massachusetts in 1951 the only son of Aileen White (1919-1968) and Michael White (1920-1968). They were pillars of the community who were beloved by everyone during their lives. On the capture of their son (1974) for various crimes they came under scrutiny of being responsible for how Robert had turned out. There was never enough evidence to make it official but rumours continued long after their deaths. The family lived quite solitary lives on a farm in west Salem. Though they were mainly isolated in terms of geography the family often held meals for their neighbours and took part in town fairs and social events. Being the town doctor Michael White was well know and respected throughout the area. Robert, though beloved by his parents was much more interested in running the farm with his mother than taking on the medical path his farther had taken. Being of large build he found the physical work vey rewarding.

DEATH IN THE FAMILY

Both Roberts died tragically in a car accident on August 26th 1968. Though obviously troubled by their deaths Robert seemed to adjust quickly, tending to the farm and keeping up it's success. He slowly started to withdraw from social events and town gatherings but still continued to be social in terms of dealing with food selling at the local market. He was known as an expert of executing animals as he apparently had his fathers surgical skills. It was two years later (1970) that locals noticed the animals were getting butchered in ways that seemed more aggressive.

CAREER

Robert continued to run his farm with varying success up until his capture/apparent execution in October 1974.

CRIMES

Around 1971 people started to hear rumours of out of towners going missing. A year later locals started to go missing. Around that time appearances of a "large creature with bear like ears" was reported in and around Salem and became the Salem's version of the Bigfoot the locals affectionately called "TeddyScare". For a while it became quite a buzz with fun walks set out to take photographic evidence of the creature. Around 1972 more locals had began to go missing and the searches for this creature became more serious. Hunting parties would go out looking for this thing that was allegedly hunting the townsfolk. By June 1974 the situation had become to much for the police to ignore and they started a house to house search. On October 31st whilst most other people were out enjoying the festivals the police (a group of four led by Officer Hooper) finally got to Robert White's farm. Finding him not at home they let themselves in to search the place. What they found shocked the very foundation of Salem society as they found many of the missing bodies, dismembered, hanging up in one of the old barns. The place was a nightmare butcher shop with various implements littering a large wooden slab which was adorned with straps that could only have been used to hold down his victims. While the police continued their search they were interrupted by Robert wearing what the police reports described as "a old battered suit, latex gloves, and on his head a bloody sack with button eye's a bear ears attached to the top". Taking the police by surprise Robert White took down three of the officers with his large axe and managed to disarm officer Hooper. In the struggle a large oil lamp was knocked to the ground and started a fire. The barn went up in an instant blaze, officer Hooper found his gun and unloaded into Robert before making his escape.

In the morning the fire brigade shifted through the wreckage but could not identify Robert's body due to everything being burnt beyond recognition.

Since then they have been many sightings of "TeddyScare" throughout Salem and he is often blamed for people going missing. The case was hardy covered as everyone involved was to embarrassed that it had happened and is still largely unreported to this day.

Robert White was blamed for the murder of over 80 people and it is theorised that he partially ate most of his victims before hanging them up as some sort of grotesque trophy. Further searching of the house found many book and implements that strongly suggested that not only Robert, but his parents were strongly into satanism and that their passive existence may have been to cover up the fact they were making a brutal killing machine out of their son.
