    Schoolgirl Lured to Her Doom by Psychopath

    Schoolgirl Lured to Her Doom by Psychopath

    It’s said Marion’s ghost still lingers. When the old Parker house was bought in 1988, the new owners swore they heard footsteps at night and found items out of place. 

    They believed they shared the space with a benevolent, childlike, non-threatening spirit. A fitting description of Marion Parker, the girl who never made it home for Christmas. 

    Did the devil make him do it, or did a culture that glorifies killers, kidnappers, and everything in between kickstart his quest for immortality? What do you think?
