Legend has it, that the Lived family had a very dark secret.
During the time the Liveds ran the old farm off Route 206 in Columbus, New Jersey, 16 reported people went missing in a span of 3 years. Investigations never led to the farm. The Liveds themselves even had a daughter among those gone ... unaccounted.
It wasn't until after the family packed up and moved away
that people stopped disappearing. Soon after that, the shed was found.
Hidden well within the farm's sprawling forest, the tiny red shed was revealed
to be the gruesome location related to at least 14 of the missing people.
No bodies were ever found. Well, none that were easily recognizable.
DNA from blood, flesh, teeth, feces, and other human parts were
used for verification. Those who managed to stomach even talking about
the shed revealed little.
A wooden chair sat erect in the center of the shed, surrounded by shelves full of items used for various torture and killing methods. The chair itself, a device
constructed to help aid in the sadism and madness.
The local authorities burned the shed to the ground.
The locals started calling the place "BloodShed Farms".
None of the members of the Lived family were ever found.

Once long ago, this travelling funhouse amused families and brought joy to the faces of all boys and girls. However, a tragic accident left its long time owners unable to tend to the attraction and the many performers who had made this their home.
Years later, a new proprieter has reopened the amusement and looks to enliven the show and mesmerize audiences with a new cast of clowns, freaks, and human oddities. Where this new manager recruited his staff is unknown. Locals say some came from the local Asylum, some are original acts who lived as vagrants in the funhouse during the years it was inoperable, and other rumors say members of the Lived family themselves may be among those performing in the attraction.
Once a simple packaging facility, Hellsgate was converted after the Lived family abandoned the farm. It was originally intended to be used as a halfway house for those being released from the state's mental institution, but once funding was cut, a private organization took control of the complex.
As the site seemingly fell into ruin, those originally involved in the project moved on or assumed it was no longer in operation. However, those housed in the prison were never released and the new attendants never left.
What has transpired in these twisted halls is the work of pure evil. The criminally insane who reside here now are the subjects of sadistic and inhuman experiments. Even the employees have lost their grip on reality, and most of them have become just as deranged and maniacal as the prisoners themselves. If you're thinking of venturing into this nightmare, just remember you may not come out the same person.
