In March, 1946, Robert Odell walked into Creek Haven Elementary with a shotgun and

a pistol. Twelve children and a math teacher never made at home. Odell was arrested immediately

following the massacre after he'd fallen down a flat of stairs. When asked why he had done

He just smiled.

He was executed within the year.

Creek Haven has changed a lot since then.

It had been a mining town up until the 70s when the ore depleted and the residents

were forced to move away to find new work.

Now it's deserted, left for the woods and the wild to overrun.

The buildings still stand, including the school, and ghostly rumors have surrounded the place

since it was abandoned.

Supposedly, the spirits of the children can be seen in and around the school where they

died.

I'd heard bits and pieces about it since I was a kid.

My dad had been born there, but the family left even before the mines dried up.

He had no memory of it.

Grandma did, though.

She'd spent her whole life there, and she'd been in the school when Odell opened fire.

That was one piece of her childhood she never talked about.

I was taking a film class and we'd received an assignment to shoot a mini-documentary.

I knew right away what I wanted to cover.
