Creator x Maker Farm

Little did we know when we moved here, but this bit of land has a haunted history that we would love to share with you.

This area is the home of the Pickens County Horror, a legend made famous in a graphic novel penned by Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy.

The original builder of our home was killed in our basement by his son. He was blown up and set on fire by a sabotaged gas stove and then left to burn to death in the backyard.

There are strange noises and creatures that can be heard and sometimes seen at night.

Neighbors are sometimes menaced by…something, which is why you’ll sometimes hear gunshots in the wee hours of the night. Don't worry, we know the neighbors, and they're not shooting toward the barn or the house. It's the woods behind them where something lives.

The Liberty Boom is often heard at random times during day and night. No one knows what the Boom is, but it will shake the ground and buildings when it happens. It scared us to death when we first moved here. We thought the water heater had exploded.

We're more than happy to give you a short tour and describe the lay of the land when you arrive. This is a working farm, so there will be activity around the farm and the barns during the day.

Have you ever wondered why things like camping or being out in the woods seem scarier at night? Check out this cool article from Atlas Obscura about it. Click HERE.

Sleeping Areas

Have a stay in your tent or a hammock under our barn patio. There's room for two large tents at the space. We have hammock hooks on the posts and there are plenty of trees to set up in as well.

Amenities

We have a gravity shower and a camp toilet onsite. You can refill the shower bag and any of your water containers at the spicket located at the back of our main house.

There's a picnic table for your use. Bring your own camp chairs.

There are electrical outlets at the site for anything you need to charge.

Our Wifi doesn't reach the site, but the cell signal is strong.

Most of the lighting is solar, so if there are a couple of cloudy days, they might turn off. We do have overhead lights hooked up to the power, because some lightin gis necessary to keep the creatures away.

A fire pit is located in front of the site for your use, unless local conditions are bad for fires.

A grocery store, gas station, and plenty of eateries are only a few miles away.

BYOS- Bring your own stove (or grill) for cooking.

Parking

Guests have their own parking spaces right off the main driveway. It's right beside the barns at the top of the hill, and a short hop down a slope to the site itself. It's well lit for nightime use and to keep the unwelcome creatures away.

Neighboring Properties

As you can guess, hillbillies and skinwalkers are very territorial. There are short trails on the property, but please obey all "No Trespassing " signs.

Animals

Don’t be alarmed if you see the neighborhood donkey and horses in the front yard. They're pretty skittish and won't bother you. Just don't try to ride them.

We're also a Certified Wildlife Habitat and proud member of the Farmer Veteran Coalition.

Various animals we've spotted on the farm include: black bears, skunks, coyotes, raccoons, opossum, hawks, crows, deer, turkeys, all kinds of snakes, scorpions, and a gazillion squirrels.

Cars, regular trucks, and vans are welcome. Sorry, but there's not enough room for RVs.
