For the Photo of Dread Challenge, hosted by my friend: PreciousPrellie!
For anyone wondering, this photo was taken during my vacation last year.
Because it was dark while taking this photo, the photo just started to feel…off…
I took this photo with a camera from the 2000s I found in a garage sale!

Comments:
preciousprellie:
oh my goodness, i’ve actually heard of this site before. apparently there were many controversies here in the past.
horridheliums:
Are you joking right now Pellie?! I didn’t know it was a controversial site!
arbiejasonwilliams:
No, I don’t think your friend is joking. The place used to be a cave here at some point, but got abandoned because of my friend getting trapped to death.
horridheliums:
Oh..my..I’m so sorry, Aribe..Condolences to your friend…
arbiejasonwilliams:
Thanks, Heliums. As a result, the cave was demolished.
P.S. It took maybe 2 hours for workers to get my friend’s body out before demolition.
courtesyofjames:
You’re not the only one, Arbie. My great-grandfather was said to have been stuck until it was too late. Read a lot of newspapers about the cave, and his name was in the penultimate newspaper.
horridheliums:
YOU’RE SURE IT’S REAL?!
artistcremmins:
I think so.
After the cave was demolished in the mid 1970s, things got even worse from here.
Let the others explain.
atsapadnawfal:
I’m..starting to puke…Can’t believe I was reminded of my father’s unidentified murder…
Yes, it happened there..
artistcremmins:
Did a reverse search of the image to get its name, as I couldn’t remember what it was, but still knew the place.
Yep, it worked for me. You all can try it yourself.
youtubecrapmaker:
Ick..just..ick, there Heliums.
The cave was revamped into a very big city as well, but was trouble ridden.
marytheflower:
I am a friend of a victim of a school shooting there, named “Marilee Ann James”. We went to the same school, named “Teresa Elementary School”.
Some grown man barged into some of our classrooms, one of them being our room, to the point my friend was killed after just three shots and I was paralyzed for life. I’m still paralyzed at the time of writing this. There were, luckily, more survivors than deaths, but the killer was still at large for some years.
henrichildrish:
The worst thing, the city’s mayor was a dictator.
John Trafeu Harlems. Did nothing for any of us, and was the main reason for troubled life.
Overpopulation, commissions, arrests, you get it.
prince3es:
Yeah, and he let my maternal family die via shootout.
Even worse, I think he is behind the killings.
marytheflower:
Now that I think about it, the school shooter looked nothing more than a friend of Harlems.
horridheliums:
Man, just did some research and learned a relative of mine died in the school shooting.
youtubecrapmaker:
That city started to gain more infamy when the numbers of deaths started raising to twice more than 1,000, people started to protest and/or move out, the bad became worse, and those reasons I mentioned.
Rest assured, most of the events happened in the late 1970s to the mid 80s.
fanb8belon62u5:
THE HECK?!
I WAS ON THE NEWS BY THE START OF 1995 ABOUT THAT CITY AS A CHILD ON LIVE TV.
INTERVIEWED WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE CITY DURING MY TIME THERE.
SAID THAT I HATED IT.
horridheliums:
Damn, I actually watched that interview before. Didn’t realize that city was the place I pictured.
preciousprellie:
Is that you, Jack Stevens?
fanb8belon62u5:
HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS ME?!
preciousprellie:
That interview is actually on YouTube!
fanb8belon62u5:
WHAT?! OKAY-GOODBYE, I NEED TO GO TO YOUTUBE.
AND MY FATHER WAS ARRESTED, DISCARDING THE FIRST OF THREE STRAWS TO THE PUBLIC.
preciousprellie:
So…did any of you commenters get more information?
horridheliums:
Yep..certainly had..and there were two chances left not to mess up.
Second straw, bombing of a beloved, different city that hated the city next to them, the infamous city.
preciousprellie:
..and the final straw..my brother in christopher! more than half of the protesters either got killed or arrested, taken away to a prison with only innocent people, and poor conditions, like most of the buildings.
that was the time…when the american government took action.
they later found out that the city was illegally made. damning things did they also take note of, almost no resources, poor management, people in poverty, the files would be released to the public.
jasondereke:
I am John’s son. I want to tell my side of the story.
For years, I was abused, beat, shamed and screamed at, punched, thrown, stomped, and tied up by my father.
I was initially powerless, I was always locked in a room with barely any food than those of chickens bought illegally.
The abuse happened in that room.
Finally, when I turned 12, I broke open the door with all my strength, and crept without my father looking.
I, however, was acting weird near the protesters while trying to escape, which fueled their anger more. They all felt bad for my condition.
I finally got freedom when one of the protesters, an officer from California named Jason Henry Jerrine, took me to his home, and gave me the childhood I deserved.
I am very sorry that he wasn’t a nice person to any of you.
My father was arrested in May 1985 soon after.
As of now, he is currently dead, but I want to thank my adoptive father for giving me a proper home.
I no longer want to use the Harlems family name, as it reminds me too much of my real father.
With this, that’s the story I can tell to you.
marytheflower:
I can confirm that John INDEED did get arrested circa May 1985, and yes, everything he did say is true. My parents can confirm that the child stumbling around and acting weird was indeed Jason.
Charged with multiple counts of criminal records, I would say, many instead of all of them, to the point they declared him imprisoned for life, and never to see the light of day, like he gave to his people.
Other things were also found out, bodies of many dead people in his now-found house, his friendship with criminals, and other disgusting stuff I won’t talk about, that’s too much for me to say.
prince3es:
The city was abandoned, then completely demolished a week later, and later sought again as a road when mainly murder and accidents started once again in the location. A live hitchhiker, nicknamed “Hitches”, fell through a sinkhole, where fog blurred the middle to bottom, to the point that the road was never sought again as something else by 1994.
fanb8belon62u5:
..final thing to say, if I remember correctly, during my sophomore year in high school, I stumbled into that road, and I knew THAT ROAD was once the city I knew, but my memory triggered my sense, to the point I told myself never to stumble into the road again.
Yes, dumb to say never to stumble there again.
preciousprellie:
Aww..Jack, it’s not your fault you don’t want to stumble there again!
fanb8belon62u5:
Aw, you mean so much to me Prellie. Thank you!
