2.)(R)When is the last time you went out to CW/DWM?
(M)About a week ago, 5/25/02
3.)(R)How did you hear about the place,and what did you
hear about it to
make
you want to go out there?
(M)My friends told me about it, it sounded spooky so I
did some research on it, then we headed up there.
4.)(R)Have you ever felt eerie out there? If so, explain
the feeling.
(M)Yes, things started being wierd when we got to the
house. Once we all stepped in the house we all got a
really wierd feeling, and I started having trouble
breathing. Wierd feelings as we were leaving, felt
like something pulling back. Allergies or spirits? who
knows... Allergies my guess.
5.)(R)Do you think it's an evil place?
(M)Well, people worshiped Satan, so my guess is, yes.
6.)(R)Were you really hoping to see true evidence of this
place being
haunted,even if it scared the crap out of you?
(M)Of course
7.)(R)Were you dissapointed in not seeing hard core
evidence? Like the
ghost of
the two men, or even the mastiffs,strange noises,
etc.?
(M)Well, I know that most of the time you cant
necessarily see the evidence, but it can be recorded
by EVP and on photos, so after I get my pictures
developed then I can answer that one.
8.)(R)Would you ever go out there alone?
(M)Yeah
9.)(R)Foremost: Do you truly believe that the CW manor is
haunted?
(M)I usually dont believe things like this unless I have
proof, but I do that for a reason: If I'm skeptical,
then when I go to places like that, I wont think every
little noise is a ghost.
(R)Thank you for your time,I aprreciate everything.
(Mark)1982-83.I've been locked up most of my life. I was in the cell right beside Kenneth Brock.
2.)What was Brock like?
(Mark) He got wound up in something he couldn't control.He cut hiself open with a razor.He cut his wrist and his stomache.His guts was hanging out.They rushed him to the hospital.When he came back,he cut the stitches back out!
3.) Did they take him back to the hospital?
(Mark) I believe I had went on to bed that night. They had to get his mom in there to try and calm him down.I think he just realized what he had done,and was trying to get a crazy sentence.
4.) What was Tony like?
(Mark) I was in jail with alot of Chattoogas famous murderers. He was pretty quite. Probably thinking about what he did and the time he was going to do.
5.) Have you ever been up to Corpsewood?
(Mark)Yeah.
6.)Did you ever meet Scudder or Odem?
(Mark) Never met them.
7.)What was your opinion of Scudder and Odem?
(Mark) Like I said I never met them.We'd go up there and see 'em out in the yard. They'd look and with the occasional wave,mostly to see who was passing by. Hell we was just kids then.
8.) Have you been up there since it happened?
(Mark)Yeah. The place is crumbling
9.)Have you ever felt strange up there,in any way?
(Mark) Nah,drunk most the time.
10.) What do you think of the life-style Scudder and Odem lived?
(Mark)I never met 'em. I heard they were homosexuals,so I never wanted to hang out. I didn't want any of them drugs and them try to try something.
11.)This is something I ask everyone I interview, do you believe the place is haunted?
(Mark)They always say if someon is aggrevatedly killed, their presence will walk the earth untill they are revenged.I don't know if it's haunted,but I do know enough not to fuck with it. I try to do no wrong,so no wrong is done to me.
