This morning I was driving back from the city, taking my normal route, and drove past an old fermiliar road. Munger Road in Wayne/Bartlett brings back memories. As an early teen 15/16 I went there with friends, we parked off the road behind some bushes to avoid being spotted by the park rangers that patrol that section of the Dupage County Forest Preserve.  We walked across the street to the frame of an old burnt skeleton of a farm house. The story that was told to me was that a former FBI agent went insane, killed his family, and torched the place. I wasn’t shown any evidence of this story, like an old newspaper or anything, but being 15 I took the story at face value. Inside the house was the charred remains of a traditional 2 story farm house. The basement was coated in blood, a pentagram on the floor with candles… Either a satanic ritual, some kids making a prank, or wannabe goths being spooky. Anyways the place was dangerous to walk through due to the charred frame and we eventually scampered out of there more in fear of getting caught be the forest cops than anything else. Today driving by I was inspired to use the tools of modern technology to discover the source of the haunting. I found no story of an fbi agent what goes crazy. I heard stories that if you drive down the road, park on the tracks, get out of your car while it’s running, the doors will lock. I heard a train really did derail 100 yards south of that house and came close to hitting a 2 room shack near the tracks, but no one was hurt. I learned that in that shack an old man lived till 1999 and he was frequently egged and harassed by teens for many years until one day succumbing to illness. Both the burnt house and that mans 2 room shack became property of the county and were demolished in 2000.

The same year a real horror came to Munger road, one that I never heard of until today. One that is more newsworthy than Paris Hilton. It’s also a story of rich kids out of control. Please follow the link below and check out a real horror:
