Telling Lies to Children: The Animal Testing Facility
People will believe any lie that claims the U.S. government is behind it.
“Ok Kids, you know how the other half of camp is all woods, the Upper Fields, and that you can’t go past the top of the ridge? You do? Good!
But do you know why you can’t go there? Well part of it is private property, but most of it is land that camp actually owns.
You see, before camp was here the government had an animal testing facility deep in the woods. They did all kinds of strange and secret things, everything from testing chemicals and radiation, creating hybrid animals, and even making entirely new animals. Only believable because of our opaque government.
Eventually, the military moved it’s secret and unethical operations to more secure areas like area 51 and Antarctica, so the importance of the facility faded. People in the surrounding countryside had grown frightened of the strange creature that prowled the woods near the facility and rumors and stories began to spread. Ignore that there are zero reports of this.
The government decided to sell the land, but no one wanted it even as they dropped the price to almost nothing. Eventually, camp Onas agreed to buy all the land around the facility for dirt cheap, on the one condition that it also had to buy the facility. Camp did, and has let it fall to ruins and overgrow. Seems plausible, right?
However, strange creatures still do roam these woods in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and strange things still happen. If you pay attention you might see something strange and unnatural… and it might see you. Yeah, let’s see you leave counselor supervision now!
So kids, that’s why you should not go into the woods without an adult present. Now stop asking questions and stay out of the damn woods.” Seriously, stop going into the woods alone.
