Welcome to Mill Town, Pennsylvania a small town in the Southern region of Pennsylvania. Mill Town was founded over a hundred years ago and many of the original families who settled there still have branches to their family tree. Over the years, Mill Town has become the ideal American town; perfect for raising the original American family of 2.5 children and a pet. Yep, Mill Town is the perfect little town in the perfect little state… Or is it? Beneath the smiles, waves, and family atmosphere, Mill Town hides a dark secret lodged in the distant past. Everyone knows the Urban Legend of the dead roommate with a grim message in blood. It’s older than many of the colleges in this nation. What if that legend was true? It couldn’t be. Someone would have noticed something like that, especially in a boarding school. Someone running around killing students and acting out many of the Urban Legends we fear is something based in folklore and Hollywood, but what if that false sense of security was breached and it was real?
In Mill Town that’s exactly what happened. Back in 1989, a young female junior was found in the same manner; the murder was committed in the style as the murder in the legend. With Mill Town being a small town, the police force was limited, and not many people outside of the town had heard of the murder. Within a week of the murder, the case was closed and the town vowed to never speak of it again. As the year wound down and the case was put on the back burner, no one thought anything else would happen. Mill Town high school recovered from the blow and they continued to lead their lives unaware they were being watched. As 1989 became 1990, the murder became part of the past and Mill Town celebrated another year.
Late into the 1990 summer the town’s star quarterback and his homecoming queen were in the fabled Lover’s Lane of Mill Town, when he disappeared. Of course this time there was no warning message on the radio, just a loud metal scrape on the car. This, of course, caused his young date to get scared. After much pleading and begging the young man did not listen to his girlfriend and went out to figure out what the problem was, and what the noise was. The girl was left alone and afraid. After many long hours she was found by the police force from the year before. Once more it was an urban legend style kill. The death left poor girl and town shaken, but once again the same action from before was taken, making sure the death did not make it to national headlines.
It has been over eighteen years since those two deaths (and the many that followed). All of the kids in the town have grown up with the legend of the urban legend killer, many of them experiencing personal loss due to it. Like always, the murder was swept under the rug-- no questions asked. Now with a whole bunch of new students from in and around Mill Town, the murders will continue and possibly only get worse. It’s like the locals say, ‘Welcome To Mill Town, Pennsylvania. The Deadliest Town In America’.
