Introduction
Entry 1 - The Event
On the eve of August 4th, in the long, hot summer of 1994 a 911 call placed earlier that day leaked out over international news stations. Depicting the screams of several young women as they were - as the news called it - ritualistically sacrificed in the center of a Southern off-the-grid town while a frantic family member pleaded for law enforcement to intervene. Many details of the case were not known until many days either. The nearest police force were over an hour away even while breaking all known traffic laws to get there, the call came too late for them to do anything for the six young women.
For the next few days the events that took place were told through a series of skeevy journalist reports and various radio and Media outlets. The scene when the police arrived in the town had been eerily silent. The remains of the young women were found tied to stakes surrounding a large tree. However, not all of them had died in the same way. They had been killed in various and horrific ways. All of them had been at least partially burned.
The rest of the town, in an odd twist of fate seemed to have disappeared altogether. Police went door to door, searching for anyone, anything. Even more remains. But nobody, no man, child, nor woman could be found. All that remained were the girls. Of the almost 400 individuals living in the town, not a single one of them was ever heard from again. The girls were transported to the nearest medical examiner, where their causes of death were officially determined and their bodies searched for further evidence of a reason or rhyme as to why they were murdered in such a way. Nothing could be determined, but one small tiny clue that eventually was tossed away with the rest of the case as it became cold and irrelevant.
All six of them showed signs of bodily trauma related to having been pregnant.
Without leads, witnesses, or even a clue as to what had happened in that town the case was sealed. Police stopped searching for survivors. The town stayed dormant for several long years after the young women were laid to rest. Their funerals small events, as they had no family outside of the town. In the coming years, only the few brave urban explorers and wannabe ghost hunters would dare to rifle through the town. Its oddly preserved condition the eery backdrop to several international TV shows, a few documentaries, and even a tasteless mockumentary depicting the abandoned town as a literal ghost town.
The grand opening of Millers Creek as an off-the-grid scientific research facility had been a tabloid hit for months. Articles upon articles detailed the vetting process, the applications, and the numerous scientists and doctors who chose to go there. Millers Creek posed itself as a normal town, surrounded by high walls in the middle of swampy rural Louisiana, built from the budgets of millionaires alike.
While most news stations reported on the normal side of things - the fact that families were living there in white picket fenced homes in an almost idealistic picture of the American dream. There were always those that slipped through the cracks regarding the facility itself, a domineering building at the edge of town that seemed to cast its shadow over the entire place. Nobody outside of the town knew its purpose, some even thought that nobody inside the town did either. Whatever it happened to be, the locals in neighboring towns didn't like it.
There were long and drawn out battles in the coming years between Millers Creek and its neighbors, often centering around a common theme of a Religious outcry. Nobody wanted to say it aloud, but people were more than ready to think that Millers Creek was dabbling in satanic rituals, just as those neighboring towns had claimed.

An event of this magnitude and coverage could never escape the fate of falling into conspiracy. For the first few weeks after the event begun it spilled over from various outlets, forums, social medias. Eventually it grew into more. Started to form its own sort of fanbase, complete with theorists, adrenaline junkies looking for a good scare, and plenty of "ghost story" fans alike. In little over a year Millers Creek became more of a campfire story told on a stormy night.
And in the ashes of its death, it became reborn through the Internet's tasteless influence. The Miller Creek Society (TM) became the number one website for learning about, and talking about the town and its events. The forums were full of the usual types. Including the more creepy ones. People who claimed to have been there, to have witnessed the murder of those girls. Nobody ever believed it of course. But some people were fucked up enough to play the part.
Pictures from urban explorers were often thrown up all over the sight at random. Maybe it was the fact that most of the houses had stayed standing in the years that it had been abandoned that made it a location of intrigue. Half of the town looked as if nothing had changed, save for a layer of dirt and mud. Rain rot had gotten to the other half, some were falling in on themselves, roofs caved inward at the middle. But, despite that, the town looked preserved in time.
Around the summer of 2017 a collection of rumors began to sprout along the forums, concerning the young womans pregnancies. People began to speculate that the babies had been smuggled away, that they may still be alive to this day. Nobody really believed it.
I couldn't believe it.
not until the letter arrived.

Re: The Disappearance Of Millers Creek
I like to keep a relatively small rp due to the fallout that comes from large ones, the more people there are the more are likely to leave or kill the rp from inactivity.
And this one has been planned in detail, so I'd hate for that to happen. If anything happens to open up between now and the start date ill reconsider.
