FAQ #114: How to increase my page views?
:icondoctah-jones:
So I just spent the last four hours motoring about your part of the desert, in search for the "easter house." I found nothing. :( Do you know where it is by any chance?

haha! Well excuse me then, I should have known five acres and a mule wasn't enough, you had to go and take the whole thing. :) Well, I was in the Wonder Valley/ 29 Palms area looking for this house. It is listed as the top "haunted attraction" in the high desert... Basically I got drug around on a wild goose chase with friends....However, this place DOES exist...

The Easter House is an abandoned shack in the desert, maybe 2 or 3 rooms and an outdoor volleyball court. It has Easter decorations everywhere and is super creepy. there are a ton of smashed easter eggs and drawings of easter eggs and kids names everywhere. There's this weird bunk bed that is built into the place, and then there's a mattress that was dragged in probably by some bum. The history (as told to me,) is; About ten years ago, neighbors reported a fire, and an odd smell coming from the house....when the police arrived, they found a 13 years old boy chained to his bed, and the fire in the back was the father burning the body of the sister - whom had been chained up in her closet, and died there.

Yes, I know this sounds like an absurd urban legend... but so what, it's an adventure just trying to find the damn place! :) I google earthed the general area, and I have a way better idea of where to find it now...between primrose and mojave....

....sorry for the wall of text. :)
