Sorry for the delay, I've been sick..I don't know much about Shanda Sharer other than what I've read but the Witches Castle I refer to is not the same place...The one I refer to is much more remote and not as well known...
My aunt (also a HHS grad) told me today she thought there was a Rick Cissell (not sure on spelling) and that not only did he run with them she thinks he was an adopted child of Dr. Carr and thats why they were always together...back then they were called Joey and Ricky so that could be the...
1986 we were told at school our friend Chris had committed suicide. Shortly after the rumors started that he was found in his back yard sitting on a stump with a .22 caliber rifle close to his body, and that the angle of the shot would suggest that he was shot from behind his ear making a...

This is my first post here and first I would like to say thanks for keeping such a forum so cases like this isn't totally forgotten. Second although I love the site it is hard for someone closer to the subject to hear strangers talk about people and a town they know nothing about...Third...
