From Ed`s site:
1940
The winter of 1940 will be one that will live in infamy to the people of Burkittsville for a long time. It was during the course of this especially cold winter that the children of Burkittsville began to disappear. Starting with little Emily Hollands in November of 1940, a total of seven children were abducted by the time it all ended in the Spring. It was at this time that a man named Rustin Parr walked into a local market and told the people there that he was "finally finished".
Rustin Parr was an old hermit that had built a house deep in the hillside in the early 1920's. Not many had seen him or his house since. When Police finally hiked the four hours up to the three-level house they found the bodies of the seven missing children in the cellar. All had been ritualistically tortured and then killed. Mysterious markings were cut into all of the children's bodies, some healed and scarred, meaning that this practice had occurred long before their deaths. Each child had been disemboweled, but the entrails where never recovered. One by one, the tiny bodies where hauled out of the woods, each driving a knife deeper into the soul of Burkittsville.
Rustin Parr never denied the allegations, but instead admitted everything in detail. He told authorities that he had done it for "an old woman ghost" who occupied the woods near his house. Mr. Parr never used the word "lived" when he talked of this woman, and would never describe her, frustrating authorities, as he remained silent for the remainder of the day when this question was ever asked. Parr was quickly convicted and hung in the fall of 1941, months before the war, which as least helped the people of Burkittsville put that horrible winter behind them.
