Son of a bitch!

I actually checked on that story earlier this year. It was one of the best ones in the thread and felt so real with the pictures and shite.

I know I say it every time I see this thread bumped, but the best story(ies) of this entire thread is still the Penpals six (I think) parter. So, so good. It’s been a few years since I’ve read it too. May need to check it out all over again.

This thread is so great. Even if it’s slacked after starting out strong and only gets bumped here and there, there are some great stories in it.

The murder of Mark Kilroy

On 14 March 1989, University of Texas at Austin student Mark Kilroy was kidnapped in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico, while vacationing during spring break. He was taken by his abductors to a ranch where he was tortured and sodomized for hours before being murdered in a human sacrifice ritual. Kilroy was killed with a machete blow and then had his brain removed and boiled in a pot. His killers then inserted a wire through his spinal column, amputated his legs at the knees, and buried him at the ranch along with 14 other people who had been killed there before him. Adolfo Constanzo, the leader of the cult, told his followers that human sacrifice granted them immunity from law enforcement for their drug smuggling operations. The killing drew worldwide media attention and initiated an international police manhunt because of the unusual circumstances of the crime.

Anything new y’all got?

Creeping closer to Halloween!

Um.....details please.

I've been waiting for this bump. Favorite time of the year is approaching...

Wasn't a story actually, it was an actual event my wife and I witnessed. The battle between God and Satan for the soul of a dying woman. Everyone in her hospital room were stunned into silence by what we had just observed.

God won. What I have to say about that? Prayer is powerful.

Yeah, you're gonna need to post more than just that, dude.




And funny this thread popped up, I actually found it a couple weeks ago to see if anything new had been added to it.

Also, for anyone interested, I also re-read Penpals and it is still fantastic. For those unfamiliar with it, I linked it within the last page or two in the thread.

I also randomly searched for the Work Basement story earlier this week and it still has never been updated.

Would be awesome if this thread were pinned at the top until November!

My Dad was wireline operator in the Gulf in the 60s. A lot of times they had time on their hands waiting. One of his crew was an old man from Cameron.

The old man told the story of Hurricane Audrey. He stayed in his house with his wife and three children. The water came up in no time, and they were all driven to the roof. They had a barn that was much higher, his wife was able to swim across to its roof and safety. He then swam across with one of the kids, the smallest. When he swam back to the house, there were two kids left there, but the water was almost to the top of the roof. He could save one, he realized, but not the other.

That man had to choose which of his two children to save, and which one to let drown.

As he told that story to my Dad in the dark night over the water, that old man cried his heart out. It has haunted me ever since.
