Residentsof the Farm

Dr. Jacob Wisdom was once the heart of his small town. A skilled dentist, a loving father, and a devoted husband, he built his practice from the ground up. His office was warm and inviting, his laughter infectious, and his hands steady as he worked on patients of all ages. When he wasn’t in the office, he was with his wife and two children, attending local festivals, coaching little league, and sponsoring school events.

Then, without warning, everything changed.

Dr. Wisdom withdrew from the community. His family, once seen so often, was suddenly absent. Neighbors whispered about the darkened windows of his grand home, the uncollected mail, the eerie silence where laughter used to be. At his office, the once friendly doctor had become c o l d, unrecognizable. He barely spoke to his staff, working late into the night. Then, the disappearances began.

One by one, patients who had scheduled routine visits never returned home. Parents reported their children m i s s i n g after simple check-ups. Authorities launched investigations, but without evidence, without bodies, their searches led nowhere.

Then came the night when a terrified dental assistant made a gruesome discovery. She had forgotten her purse in the office and returned after hours to retrieve it. The lights were still on. As she stepped inside, a rancid, metallic smell filled her nostrils. The waiting room was empty, but the door to the exam room stood ajar.

From the dimly lit hallway, she heard a slow, wet s q u e l c h i n g sound. Holding her breath, she peered inside...

Dr. Wisdom stood over the chair, his once-pristine white coat now a horrifying shade of deep red. His face, what was left of it, was covered by a grotesque mask of skin, stitched together from his missing patients, their teeth meticulously arranged in a grisly smile. He held a scalpel in one gloved hand, carving delicate patterns into the lifeless body beneath him.

She screamed.

The doctor’s head s n a p p e d up. Cold, hollow eyes locked onto her. He grinned, his real teeth gleaming beneath the grotesque mask.

“You’re just in time,” he rasped. “Take a seat. You’re next.”

She ran.

The following morning, the office was empty. No blood, no bodies, just the faint scent of antiseptic and decay lingering in the air. Dr. Wisdom had vanished, his once-thriving practice left abandoned.

But some say he’s still out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for his next patient.

And if you ever find yourself driving down a dark country road near Eerie Acres Farm, don’t stop if you see a flickering neon sign that reads:

Dr. Wisdom, DDS – Accepting New Patients.

Porky always had an appetite bigger than his belly. And that was saying something.

Growing up on a secluded, backwoods farm in the north country, with too many brothers and sisters, there was never enough food. Porky was always hungry. Always dragging his feet. Always being punished for being behind on his chores.

The others used to tease him, calling him names. “Fat. Lazy. Pig.” That’s how he got the nickname. Porky.

No one understood that Porky wasn't lazy. He just had... a hunger in him. One that never quit. And not just for food, either. He was just... e m p t y.

As the years passed, the hunger grew, inside him, around him.

A few years later, a famine hit the farm. Things got dire. Crops shriveled. The cellar was empty. Meals shrank to scraps. Even the livestock grew thin and wild-eyed. Eventually, they had to be separated to keep them from turning on each other.

That gave Porky his idea.

One cold, bitter night, while everyone else was asleep, Porky slipped from bed and pulled on his worn flannel coat. He lit a lantern, stepped into his boots, and trudged through the snow to the old butcher shed, his favorite place on earth.

Porky had spent a lot of time in that shed. It was the only place he felt happy. Butchering was the only thing he was good at. The only time he was allowed to play with his food.

And on that night, he was s t a r v i n g.

He put on his blood-stained apron. Picked up his cleaver. And pulled a leather pig mask down over his face, one he’d stitched together himself, piece by piece.

That winter was long, cruel, and silent. And when the thaw finally came, Porky was mysteriously the only one left alive on the farm. No one could figure out how a young man could survive the bitter cold (and worse, the crushing loneliness) of such a relentless winter, alone.

But Porky wasn’t alone for long.

A few weeks later, wandering through the woods, he stumbled upon a little place called Eerie Acres Farm.

The people there were friendly. Welcoming.

And best of all?

They never called him names.

They let him eat as much as he wanted.

Let him play with his food.

Whenever he wanted.

With whoever he wanted.

Would you care to visit? Porky's always hungry for company.
