In the
aftermath of the Great Depression, drifters and gypsies, vagrants and
desolates alike took up occupancy in the Lake House Hotel, never to be
seen again. Over the years, the townspeople of Saylorsburg became
increasingly worried over the mystery surrounding the Lake House. They
watched and waited from afar, becoming more and more suspicious and
frightened in regard to the type of activities which may have been
taking place within the walls of the sinister building. Mysteriously,
one by one, some of the local children went missing. Well, enough was
enough! The people of Saylorsburg demanded that the sheriff conduct an
investigation. One late October night, armed and ready, the sheriff and
his men slowly approached the cold and forbidding door of the Lake
House Hotel. It was freezing cold and as black as a crow’s eye on that
wretched night. Upon breaking down the menacing barricade, the pungent
smell of death stinging their noses, the sheriff and his men warily
entered, never again to see another day. The stench of rotting flesh was
in the air as the frightened townspeople gathered outside the building.
They anxiously watched and wondered what had taken place as the ear
piercing screams of terror which were heard throughout Saylorsburg and
neighboring towns gradually subsided. The piles of limestone did
nothing to mask the horrible odor emanating from the old building. Not
one person would come out of the Lake House alive and the thick black
smoke rose well into the night sky. So much smoke came bursting out
that the sun did not shine through the smoldering cloud of death
hovering over Saylorsburg for 30 days.
The townspeople of Saylorsburg have kept quiet about the incidents at the Lake House and have tried to forget the past events. Some say they can still see some black smoke rise above the clouds on a cold October night. Others have tried to ignore the lake house altogether. But whatever goes on inside those walls has yet to be discovered. Until Now…
According to their website, they are open for business next month as a haunted house, www.hotelofhorror.com
