All of a sudden you’re hearing noises, looking over your shoulder, avoiding that dark basement, and turning on a night light.

Known as Devil's Peak by locals, the beautiful farm in Warren, MA is not a place that anyone wants to go berry picking. Maurice "Frenchy" Theriault had a traumatic childhood, suffering physical, emotional, and sexual abuse from his father. By 1985, he had married and purchased the lavish farm on the hill. However, it took only a short time before his demons caught up with him. He and his wife both began hearing mysterious voices around the farm. Blood would appear randomly throughout the house, fires would break out in random places, and they both began seeing a figure who looked exactly like Frenchy around the property. This duplicate figure was spotted by police, therapists, friends, and family members, and would disappear whenever anyone would try to speak to it.

Lieutenant Walter Haut was the public relations officer at the base in 1947, and upon his death, a previously written account of having been shown the UFO wreckage and the bodies of their alien inhabitants was released.
