You can never take this back. Bring another poor soul with you. The Story A true series of events, which lead us here We do not have much time, we encourage that you look into this nefarious Bootlegger and all his aliases, on your way out to join us. For now, we will provide you with a brief and gruesome timeline. Much of this story has been stitched together, leaving important details at the mercy of a few dark, brilliant and curious minds, whom sacrificed much to pursue the truth. In 1916, bootlegging was as common as farming in rural America. Our story begins in Dubois, ID, where spring rains have just washed away the treacherous sins of this rural towns, dark and cold winters. A reported counterfeiter & bootlegger, roaming the untamed parts of Idaho, changing his name from town to town, seemed to have went stark mad and severely bashed in the head of his wife, with an axe. "hacked into pieces", according to a journalist at the time. She was discovered by their son, next to the tent they lived in, right outside of town. The bootlegger had been there "doing odd jobs around the railroads yards". The events that lead up to this horrific act, are left to our wildest imaginations. He was a careless, fearless and dangerous man. The Bootlegger ran and was caught near St. Anthony. This was nothing new for the bootlegger, he had hidden a jagged blade in his boot and used it to saw his way out. Just as his son would predict at his moms funeral.. The bootlegger was never to be seen again. In 1979, a family stumbled across the torso of a man, wrapped in burlap. It seemed to not be very old. It reeked with rot and there was an unbreakable chill in the air. Clark County opened a homicide investigation. In 1991, a little girl finds a hand in the same cave. Investigators launch a excavation of the cave and they discover an arm and two legs wrapped in the same burlap material as the torso. Again, they seem to not be very old. Again, it reeked with rot and there was an unbreakable chill engulfing the cave. In 2019, Sherriff Clements sought help from the DNA Doe Project, whom would assign forensic genealogist, Anthony Redgrave to work with the latest technology in DNA sequencing. Together with Clements and their team, they build a genealogical family tree, which leads to the discovery of two living grandchildren potentially related to the evasive bootlegger. Clements gathers a blood sample and the DNA matched. The bootlegger, who allegedly murdered, stole, cheated and vanished went by the name of Joseph Henry Loveless. In 2020, this discovery lead to mysterious, unexplainable and down right scary events, in and around the cave that Loveless' burlap bags were located. Sherriff Clements has had to respond to calls of terrified people calling into 911, only offering blood curling screams... reporting to be a traveler from out of town... down by the caves. When the Sherriff and his deputies arrive, there is no one around. One deputy swears that he has seen a man turn and run into the cave, followed by what seems to be the sound of some sort of metal... slamming into the walls. A lingering sound of a man... crying. It haunts him, the deputy says. He says at night... he hears finger nails scrape along the siding on his house. Voices talk to him. Other locals are coming forward, saying they are experiencing the same thing. One lady, the town calls her "the enlightened one", claims that speaking the bootleggers name, has awoken his evil spirit and his rage has woken up similar spirits in the area. In order to put a stop to the torment, we must find his head and give him a proper burial in his hometown, located in Utah. He is getting angrier, more violent and continues to wake up lost souls of Clark County. What To Expect Don't look behind you. Keep moving forward.
