Anonymous Footage From the Forest Behind the Property

The footage featured in the video was sent anonymously.

The person who recorded it claims to have walked through the forest located behind the Darby Road property. According to their account:

  • The property perimeter is marked by hand-painted “No Trespassing” signs

  • The forest is separated from the main land by active train tracks

  • Trains pass frequently, creating sustained noise that would mask other sounds

  • The ground shows multiple impressions resembling old dug holes

  • Large boulders and rocks appear placed unnaturally on moss-covered mounds

  • A plank attached to a tree resembles a trail camera mount, positioned unusually close to the road and tracks

None of these observations confirm criminal activity. They are included because they are repeatedly referenced in online discussions.

Rumours of Mass Graves and Missing Women

Across Reddit, Facebook, TikTok, and private message submissions, people have claimed:

  • Multiple women may be buried in the forest

  • The disturbed earth marks graves

  • The forest was used because train noise would conceal activity

  • Some individuals say they felt watched while walking the area

These claims are unverified and based entirely on personal belief, anonymous accounts, and online speculation.

No excavation, forensic search, or police confirmation has been publicly reported.

Why the Rumours Persist

Despite the lack of official confirmation, the rumours continue for several reasons:

  • Multiple deaths occurred nearby over different years

  • The location is isolated yet accessible

  • Anonymous stories continue to surface

  • Social media algorithms amplify disturbing narratives

When many unrelated people report similar fears or experiences, it raises questions, even without proof.
