More About the Night
“Suffer the Children”

If you’re a parent, what’s your greatest fear?
Without hesitation, any parent will say that it’s a tragedy that might befall their child.
Accidents and calamities are cruel twists of fate. Bad luck plays no favorites.
But what about the things that happen that are not accidents?

There have been monsters among us, lurking in the darkest corners of America, preying on children, since the first settlers arrived on our shores. They have always been with us, stalking the innocent, from the days of the original colonies, to the Gilded Age, the Depression, and beyond. These monsters are not the stuff of fiction – they are bloodcurdlingly real – and they still walk today, always looking for their next victim. In this chilling night with author Troy Taylor, he shines a light on the darkest tales of horror and hauntings from American history and presents a terrifying collection of dark crimes and horrific events perpetrated against our most tender victims – our children.

Troy’s most disturbing presentation so far includes nightmarish tales from the nineteenth century — when the “good old days” were never good — like the “The Monster of the North Wood,” the disappearance of Elise Paroubek, and continues into the modern day with accounts like America’s First School Massacre, Wineville Chicken Coop Murders, “Babes of Inglewood,” Suzanne Degnan, the Girl Scout Camp Massacre, the “Perfect Murder” of Bobby Franks, and more.

Traveling from America's largest cities to the smallest towns and the most remote areas, this is a terrifying look at the darkest side of our history and a unsettling look at the ghosts that linger behind in the wake of the horrors that refuse to let us sleep at night.

Think Twice Before Making Your Reservation…

If you’re reading about this event, it’s very possible you have attended other events that Troy has done in the past. If you have, then you know that he often presents on some disturbing things. The “good old days” weren’t always good. In fact, they were terrifying. He has offered other events that include some pretty brutal and terrifying moments of horror.

But, trust us when we tell you, they have been nothing like this one. It’s not for those easily disturbed and if you are bothered by the subject matter, we urge you not to attend.

Seriously. Don’t attend. Don’t make reservations — And don’t say we didn’t warn you.
