A missing son. A 1950s retirement home. And a mechanical nightmare that thins the wall between realities.
When Thomas Alan Davies purchased the sun-bleached ranch house at 3489 West Crest Way in Youngtown, Arizona, he expected nothing more than an engineering project. The property—priced forty percent below market value, carried a strange history and a long record of brief, unsettled owners. It was also the very house from which his maternal grandmother, Evelyn Blockstock, vanished without a trace in 1956.
Equipped with a degree in electrical engineering and a healthy dose of skepticism, Tom set out to fix the outdated aluminum wiring and settle into his new home. But as summer temperatures soared past 115 degrees, the house began to manifest unsettling phenomena: doors opening in sequence, low-frequency pressure drops that made his ears pop, and dark masses shifting in his peripheral vision.
Then came the night he uncovered the secret hidden in the easternmost bedroom: an industrial 1950s ceiling fan covered in fine, geometric etchings. The appliance wasn't just old—it was a mechanical transducer. When activated under specific conditions, its rotation created an electromagnetic vortex directly over a local ley-line intersection, opening a temporary window into another dimension.
Inside that glowing event horizon, Tom glimpsed his grandmother, unchanged after fifty years. But she wasn't alone. Something else, a pale, predatory entity, was waiting to claw its way through.
Shortly after writing down his account, Tom Davies vanished.
Presented by author H. Jason Schulz, This is a true story! presents Tom's unedited log alongside investigator Dale Davies' desperate plea to recover the missing ceiling fan before the portal closes forever. Step into the Youngtown phenomenon—if you dare to look beyond the veil.
