User:ColonelKurtz/Texarkana Murders
Texarkana would be a very boring place. It has contributed nothing but low budget directors who shit out more than Sam Newfield and Roger Corman; there is no significant authors that came from this place aside from Hemingway staying here while on his way to Houston that one time; and it is just plain shit. In other words, it would be just another backwater, small Southern town were it not for...
The Texarkana Moonlight Murders is a widespread hoax and mainstay of Texan oral tradition; rumours say that in 1946 five people were murdered with three more unsuccessful attempts. For decades people have speculated on the nature of the 'Phantom-Killer' and his psychological state, and more importantly, who the hell he was. It's like a Stanley Kubrick movie, except Stanley Kubrick would've been around 13 at the time. Nobody even knows if all the murders occured in Texarkana, some have proposed that this man is the later instigator for the beloved Interstate Killers trilogy. This has set the stage for one of the largest debates in cold case history: no-one cane prove anything other than the fact that five people really did die.
the story[edit | edit source]
World War II had ended only eight months earlier. Everyone was happy to be back from fighting Naughty German Mustache Man and his companions. People were very happy to buy very expensive typewriters that didn't function. It was the ideal late-forties' locations.
Suddenly, murder. If the accounts are to be believed, then around 20-15 minutes 'fore midnight on March the Third, a mysterious, hooded figure came out and attacked Sam. Thankfully, this guy and his girlfriend survived.
