This "Execution Clerk" Has The Weirdest Journal Entry I've Ever Investigated...

There's this tall old oak tree that stands in a small unknown town located on the outskirts of Gainesville, TX. This particular tree can still be found in the middle of my backyard back in my hometown. I loved spending time at that tree as a child and I see have fond memories of my father hanging a tire swing off of that tree and pushing me from it, with of course the distant sounds of my siblings playing and laughing in the background. However, I recently found out that this old tree that once brought me so much joy as a kid, also brought death and misery to hundreds of people who once lived in my hometown. Welcome to Killed Off, the podcast where I present stories from our favorite horror fiction media (tv/movies) but with a true crime twist. Follow along with the story to see if you can recognize it before I reveal the original story at the end.

That he looked like her dad. Sounded like her dad. But that he wasn’t… right. When police arrived, they found no signs of forced entry. No crime scene. No intruder. But what they did find downstairs in the basement caused one officer to vomit on the spot. Because what this family had been living above for weeks was something that nobody saw coming.

The Blackout That Changed A New York Neighborhood Forever

In the summer of 1959, a power outage hit a quiet suburban block in the town of Glenridge, New York. At first, it just seemed like a typical blackout. Within hours, neighbors were accusing each other of sabotage, people were chased, some were even attacked. And by the end of the night, one man was lying dead in the street. And the worst part? There was no storm. No downed power lines. No reason for the outage at all. Except for one terrifying possibility...that someone on that street wasn't who they said they were.
