40 Creepy Crime Stories From Small Towns You Haven’t Seen In The Newspaper
There is a convicted cannibal in our town. Seriously. He killed his friend while drunk, then ate his jaw.
4. Guidance counselor stalked a student and tried to break into their house when they knew the student was home alone. Jail.
5. There’s a religious cult that makes up roughly 50% of the population of my town (~1200 people). Low-key some things have occurred. Excommunication is one of their primary methods of dealing with people who don’t follow their “laws”.
6. We had a dad who killed his wife and kids and then himself. The house was on the way to one of the big schools so everyone went past the police tape in the morning (and again in the afternoon). Wondered if they’d ever manage to sell it since anyone in town could tell you why it was for sale. Ended up selling it to someone who opened one of those Ayurveda / holistic practice type things in there, which always seems slightly ironic to me.
