THE DEVILS ROAD & THE CULTHOUSE

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall
"I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm shadow upon these walls,
As quietly as a mouse
I haunt these halls."


- Allison Krauss, Ghost in This House

Tale from Greg H.

Culthouse Road "Satan Road, as it is colloquially known, is a condemned road off Route 100 in Delaware. Its entrance is easy to miss, despite the bright orange warning signs, because of the way 100 bends and because ot the overgrowth of the area. The state has attempted to blockade the road with signs that threaten a $1000 penalty to trespassers, but this has not stopped nosy teens.

The entryway and most of the first half of the road are so overgrown with trees and vines that they resemble a tunnel. Once you start down the road, there is no turning back. It is very windy and, despite being two lanes, is uncomfortably narrow for even a single car. About halfway down the road you come around to one of the bends and you see it plain as day—the Cult House. All the trees near it grow up a few feet; then they all turn at an angle so sharp that they are almost parallel to the ground, always away from the house. It's not just two or three trees; its every tree for several hundred feet. To the right of the road is a wall of rock covered in pentagrams. The house itself sits back from the road.

The Satan worshipers wait for your arrival at the entrance to the road in a black SUV. As soon as you start to slow down and turn, they turn on their headlights, pop out from hiding, and chase you out to a bridge on Route 100. I have been chased once by the SUV and have seen some sort of eerie bright blue flash when we were about to enter the road that scared us enough to not even bother with the road that night."-Greg H.
