Locust Bayou Legends: The Old Logging Road

By Chad Tyler Merritt

Locust Bayou, Arkansas.
Summer, 1983.

For Chad Merritt and his friends Mark, William, Emily, and Patrick, summer was supposed to last forever.

Long bike rides down dirt roads.
Tunnels in hay lofts.
Exploring the woods and old logging roads where grown-ups never went.

But when they discovered an old logging truck hidden deep in the woods, everything changed.

Inside the truck they found a wallet, a driver's license, and a trail that led to an abandoned house no one had lived in for years.

What started as a summer adventure quickly turned into something none of them could explain. Old stories began to feel a little too real. A hidden chest. A spirit board. A grave that was chained shut for a reason.

Then the sickness started.

With time running out and no adults who could help, the kids would have to solve a mystery that had been buried for nearly a hundred years.

Some legends are just stories.
Some legends are warnings.
