Prologue
August 29, 1985
The old barn had a history. Nine-year-old Sally Ferman had heard all of the stories, and every single one scared her. Her dad told her that the farm was originally owned by a young German immigrant by the name of Hans Schneider. He build a cabin and married a French woman, Rebecca. They had three sons and over the years, Hans and his boys built the barn, raised cattle and sheep, and grew tobacco and corn. Then one snowy night in 1763, a band of Delaware Indians raided the settlement. Hans was shot dead as he stood by the window with his muzzle-loader. His wife was dragged from the cabin and scalped. The three boys all armed prepared to fight to the death - were burned alive when the Delaware set the cabin ablaze. Rumor had it, if you came out here at night you could still hear Rebecca screaming as her scalp was being hacked from her skull.

"I just took a call from a Boy Scout scoutmaster by the name of Ken Hutchinson. He's got a bunch of kids out at that old barn on Gellerman Road that got hit by the tornado, cleaning-up, and he says a couple of boys found a human skull."
