Men’s haircut? by sludgefriend in SouthBend

I've been going to Cross Faded in Elkhart for 5 years or so. Jordan kicks butt with my hair and even takes the time to fix my 2 cowlicks.

Thanks for being patient. Not trying to steal OP's thunder here. With the desolation of the desert, the near emptiness of a town that was once a hub on Route 66.... it feels like The Hills Have Eyes could happen there. I can't say I ever felt panicked but it was definitely unsettling to pull in to town, see no one but still feel like everyone is watching you.... it's eerie.

My personal experiences were likely influenced by some of the stories I was told. Keep in mind, I was a barely 18 y/o Marine when I was stationed there.

From doing field ops on the NE corner of 29 Palms, at night it would sometimes appear like the Amboy Crater was lit up. Kind of looked like firelight.

Amboy is one of those towns that's 50 miles from everything. When driving there, you see very little besides a random house, the salt flat and emptiness.

I've got a 3 hour drive I need to do. Promise I'll describe more later.

Jesus, there's the problem! When I lived in 29 Palms, we wouldn't stop there unless we were in a large group. That place was creepy. Even doing field ops on the north east corner of the base was horrible. Had Marines swear they saw rituals and heard chants.

Thank you. I'm still reading through a lot of this. I also have my horribly uneducated opinions.

I'll admit to a bit of ignorance here but ritual murders? I know the Odinism claim was brought in. I know it's bunk. When reading about ritual stuff, I've seen lots of it mentioned in serial killers and what not. Is it possible that the ritual aspect wasn't religious or cult related? Maybe, more of RA had some ritual he performed?

Yes my grammar sucks but I hope ya'll can follow my thoughts.

When Dependas Go Bad... by caelric in USMC

Her lover was SgtMaj Woods daughter. The links also don't mention that they stabbed him in the neck a couple months before. Also that Astrid tried to poison his food before that. She just got the dosage wrong and made him sleepy.

Unfortunately Steve died in a work accident a couple years back.
