The Legend of Jeremiah Lexer and The Black Sisters of Virginia

Before it was known as Frightmare Manor, the home of Jeremiah Lexer and his extended family was probably a normal house, filled with the laughter of children, the hustle and bustle of farm life, and a general sense of peace. But that changed on July 5th, 1902 at 3:25 A.M. Supposedly unprovoked, Jeremiah Lexer began a killing spree that claimed his entire family, which he heinously murdred with an axe, right down to his young grandchilren. After the rampage had ended, Jeremiah committed suicide by jumping out of a second-story window. Terrifying, correct? Oh, but it gets better. While police were tending to the murdered Lexer family, it is reported that another thirty bodies were discovered on the grounds. Police and newspapers alike covered up the crimes for over eighty years. But now, the truth is out.
