The Homestead Bones

The Dark Beneath: Scary Folklore & Whispers About Lake Tawakoni...

CASE FILE #4

Some graves are marked with stone. Others with silence.

In the fall of 2019, a land survey crew working near Lake Tawakoni’s eastern edge stumbled onto something they weren’t meant to find. Beneath a patch of pine and rusted fencing, their equipment struck hollow ground. What they uncovered was a series of unmarked burial sites—no headstones, no records, no ceremony.

The area was once part of a homestead abandoned in the 1940s. Locals remember the family: quiet, reclusive, gone without explanation. The land changed hands, but no one ever built there. Some say the soil was wrong. Others say the silence was.

The remains were never publicly identified. No press release. No forensic follow-up. Just a quiet fencing-off of the site and a few whispered warnings to stay clear. But the rumors spread fast. Bones without names. Graves without grief. And a question that still lingers: Who were they burying—and why didn’t they want them found?

🧠 Forensic Notes:

• Multiple burial sites, shallow depth, no coffin remnants.

• Remains showed signs of age—estimated pre-1950s.

• No personal effects recovered.

• Soil samples indicated disturbance over decades.

  
  

🕯️ Local Rumors:

• Some say the homestead was a boarding house for drifters.

• Others claim it was a dry county speakeasy with a violent past.

• One elderly resident swears her uncle vanished after working there in 1946.
