I don't think 8-year-old me could have told the difference between animal bones and human bones. At that age, your brain just doesn't have the filter for horror, for the way the world hides its nastiest corners in plain sight. You see shapes in the dirt, pieces of skeletons poking out of the snow or the ground, and you shrug it off, just animals, you say. Maybe it's instinct, maybe it's denial, or maybe it's some natural protection to keep kids from collapsing under the weight of the world too soon. But for me, that story about Bones came back full force after I heard something on a channel I follow about the 1977 Oklahoma Girl Scout murders.

Listening to it, I felt a chill, because it dredged up something from my own family's past, something that happened before I was born, something that could have erased me from existence entirely if fate had played out differently. I can't even begin to describe how eerie it feels to look back and realize how close death brushed up against my own family. And to be honest, I don't know if I'll ever fully process it. But I feel like it's time to tell the story, partly because it needs to be remembered, partly because maybe it'll help me exercise some of the ghosts in my own mind. The year was 1981. We were in Northern California, in the mountains where the mountains where the air is so clean it feels like it burns your lungs when you take a deep breath. The kind of place where folks drive to forget their troubles, where weekends are spent drinking beer by the lake, fishing

at dawn, and letting the world slip away for a little while. That place was Caddy Resort, a sleepy little getaway tucked into the trees, cabin scattered across the slopes like forgotten toys in the forest. My family was staying in Cabin 28. Grandma Sue, her five children, and a couple of their friends had come up for the weekend. I wasn't there, like I said, this all happened before I was born, but the stories my mom told me later still make my chest tighten. They were doing all the usual things, cooking, laughing, playing cards by the fireplace, maybe sneaking outside to fish when they thought no one was watching.

No one had any idea that something truly evil was slipping through the forest that night. It's the kind of evil that doesn't announce itself, with a shadow or a sound, it just moves quietly, patiently, waiting for the right moment. Nobody really knows exactly what happened on the night of April 11, 1981. But from the evidence and eyewitness accounts, what little there was, it seems that sometime between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., someone knocked on the cabin door. Maybe more than one person. The theory is that these individuals were known to my grandmother, so she likely let them in. That was a fatal mistake.

Once inside, chaos erupted. There was a struggle, something my family could never have expected in the sanctuary of their own cabin. My uncle John, only 15, and his friend Dana, 17, were restrained with wire. My grandmother was attacked too. Weapons were involved, hammers, knives, multiple blows. Blood everywhere. Pain and terror mingled so closely together that even recounting it gives me chills. By the next morning, around 8 a.m., the horror was discovered.

One of the daughters, returning from a sleepover at a friend's cabin, opened the door to a scene she would never forget. My mother. Sheila Sharp. She saw the bodies in the living room, lying where they fell. She screamed. She ran to the neighbors for help. and that moment, seeing what death could do, shaped her forever. But that wasn't all.

One child was missing. My Aunt Tina, only 12, vanished that night. It would be three years before her remains were found. She may have witnessed what happened in a living room, and in her innocence, became a target. It's heartbreaking to imagine. The abduction and murder of a child is a nightmare beyond comprehensive. and in our family, that nightmare became reality. The investigation was botched from the start.

Evidence mishandled, leads ignored, questions left unanswered. No arrests were ever made. And so the murders remain unsolved, a scar in our family history that no apology or legal action could erase. When I recount this story, I can't go into all the gory detail, and frankly, I don't want to. These were my family members and the memory of their suffering is too personal, too raw. But I'll tell you that the daughter who discussed... Collini, did you know if your age between 25 and 65? Well, you can get a free HPV cervical check.

The one who screamed and ran for help. That was my mother. Imagine carrying that memory, that trauma, for your entire life. Imagine building your whole identity knowing you are the one who stumbled into the aftermath of such horror. People who hear my story often compare it to Friday. the 13th. I get it. Cabin in the woods. Teenagers. Murder. The comparison makes sense on the surface. But for me, it's not fiction. Jason Voorhees is a fictional character. He's, cool to some horror

fans, a mythic figure who doesn't exist outside movies and Halloween costumes. But the real-life influences behind those movies? People like the ones who haunted my family's cabin. Evil that walks among us, sometimes in plain sight, sometimes cloaked in familiarity. That's what Jason can't teach you. That's what fiction can't capture. Because in reality, when death walks quietly into your home, when it waits for the night and the trust you put in people, it doesn't come with a soundtrack or dramatic lighting. It comes silently, patiently, and leaves nothing but devastation in its wake. Even writing this, I feel a shiver crawl up my spine.

The memory of Cabin 28 is more than just a story. It's a warning, a reminder of how fragile life can be, how easily trust can be manipulated, and how completely unprepared children, and families, can be when the world turns against them. I've spent years trying to separate fiction from reality. But sometimes, I can't. When I watch horror movies now, I see every scream, every shadowed corner, every unexpected knock on the cabin door and think, that could happen.

That did happen. And for my family, it did. Thinking back, I realized these events echo through generations. My mother, traumatized by what she saw, carried the fear forward, the memory of helplessness and horror. Every cabin she ever visited afterward, every night she is. ever spent alone, was colored by that memory. And when she told me about it, small glimpses, careful mentions, she warned me without directly saying it, the world is darker than you can

imagine. The deaths in Cabin 28 didn't just end lives. They fractured a family, left permanent scars, and created a lingering fear that no amount of time can erase. And I think about my aunt Tina, lost to the night, discovered only years later. Imagine being 12, trapped in a nightmare that no child should ever face. Imagine the terror. The cold. The confusion. The isolation. These stories shape people. They make you cautious, hyper-aware, distrustful of strangers. They shape the way you look at the world. And sometimes, they bleed into your dreams. Cabin 28 is a ghost I can never escape. Not a ghost in the supernatural sense, but a shadow of trauma and evil that lingers in the family's psyche. I've spent nights thinking about what could have been done differently,

about the flaws in the investigation, about the people who walked away free while my family suffered. I replay the events in my head. I imagine the scene, the knock at the door, the decision to let them in, the struggle, the terror. I imagine my mother discovering the bodies and the fear in her young heart as she ran for help. And I remember my aunt Tina. Twelve years old. Gone. Forever. People ask me if I blame the cabin. If I blame the resort. If I blame my grandmother for trusting people. I don't. Evil doesn't follow logic. It doesn't need reason. It doesn't ask permission.

It simply exists and it acts. And sometimes it finds the perfect opportunity, in a quiet cabin on a mountain, in a family trusting enough to open the door. Even now, decades later, when I hear about similar murders, unsolved cases, or the sort of horrors that can't be explained by fiction, my stomach twists. Horror movies are easy, they have structure, actors, a script. Reality doesn't. Reality leaves scars. It leaves gaps. It leaves unanswered questions. And it leaves families like mine wondering if the world is safe at all. I've come to realize that sharing this story is part of my own coping, part of making sense of the senseless, part of honoring the memory of those we lost. And it's also a warning, evil doesn't just exist,

in movies. It exists quietly, waiting, in the shadows of ordinary life. Jason Voorhees may be a legend of horror cinema, but for me, horror doesn't need to be fictionalized. Cabin 28, April 11, 1981, my mother screaming across the snow for help, this is real. This happened. And the echoes of that night still resonate, not just in our family, but in the understanding of how fragile life can be and how evil can strike where it's least expected. Horror movies can entertain. Cabin 28 taught me...
