Not much has been known about the McCue Family Estate in Monongahela, Pennsylvania ... until recently. What has been discovered may shock
many who live in or near the area in the small community of Carroll
Township.

Little recorded history remains before this rare photograph that
was found in the basement of the McCue Mansion. We have been able to trace
some of the earlier history, and also have found clues and experiences
to current history.

The record books for the time are somewhat unclear, it is clear that she held title to a plot of land, which today is located adjacent to Route 88. During the excavation for the original mansion, workmen discovered bones from a human hand. After further digging, they unearthed well over 70 unmarked graves, and may have unleashed the evil on the land that was found to be Demon House. |

Since this region of Monongahela was not well organized at the time, the remains
of these lost souls were left unknown. Rumors around railroad camps of the
areas tell stories that the mansion was once an ancient burial ground for local Indians.

News of this discovery didn't appear to bother Carla, nor the local authorities.
In fact, legend of the time had her asking to keep some of the remains of some sort.

In 1891, a child was born at the McCue Estate, and he
was named Liam Gavin.

About the time this was going to happen a letter arrived addressed simply to D.H.D.
This note expressed the need for help, and that the person whose initials were E.V.L.,
did not want to die like the others.

This account was written by Joan, the neice of deputy.
She witnessed this from the gates to the estate. The men never came out of the house.
