The Boston Mills 5 went into Helltown with cameras.
Only the cameras came out.

Leave now.
Go fast.
Never return.
On the ninth of June, 2008, five teenagers drove into the ruins of Boston Mills carrying three consumer camcorders and a fourth camera never accounted for. They intended to spend one night filming the local legends — the Crybaby Bridge, the abandoned school bus, the peeling houses left standing where a town used to be.
None of the five were seen again. Eleven days later, a county surveyor recovered the cameras from the treeline. The footage on them has been authenticated and compiled here in full.

The Last Known Footage
Helltown,
Ohio.
In the mid-1970s the federal government bought out the entire village of Boston Township for a national recreation area. Families were given weeks to leave. Overnight, a living town became a grid of empty houses, a shuttered school, a church with its doors left open.
The demolitions stalled. The people never came back. And the stories that grew up in the vacuum — of a mutated congregation, of headlights that follow you, of something in the trees on Stanford Road — outlived every family that was forced out. The locals stopped calling it Boston Mills. They started calling it Helltown.
Go fast.
Never return.
One Purchase.
