Real Haunted House

Crider Road House

Colony, Texas

This three story mansion, which burned down at the beginning of 1999, was without ownership for ninety-nine years. Allegedly, a serial killer murdered over 10,000 men and women in this home. Many reported hearing screams and seeing flashing lights and ghosts when driving down Crider Road. The house was so scary that it was never searched; it never will be.

I haved live out here in The Colony and remember driving down Crider road all the time. I don’t think this is true because the actual owner lived there for a long time and passed away while living there. His kids then owned the property and just did not care for the home so with age and no up keep it just fell apart. No one killed anyone there or everyone in the small City of The Colony would have known. It was owned by a very nice man that all. Yes this road did exists it was the only main road out of the only towards Carrollton for a long time.

Ok, I lived in that town for 20 years. The road did exist, but a new bypass was built which cut off access to it. The house did burn down. It was not haunted. When I was in high school, I cut school alot. During one of those occassions, we decided to check it out. When we went in there, it was a little creepy, but that’s it. The story I got from my neighbor, who was on the city council, is that it was one of the sites for filming the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That seems to make a little more sense to me, since when I was in the house I thought I saw red paint or fake blood or something all over the place. There were trunks of clothes and those kinds of things there, too. Trust me, nothing haunted about that house.

Well the road did exist because I used to take it to school everyday from carrollton to the colony. It was the only way of getting up there until they opened up 121. The road is still there because a couple of halloweens ago me and a group of friends jumped the no trespassing signs and walked for maybe a mile until we got to the site where the house used to be. The shed is still there but the house is gone. We sat around there for maybe 15 minutes but nothing ever happened. We weren’t brave enough to open the shed.

Jason says:

June 18, 2006, 9:04 pm

10,000, hardly. The house did exist, many have entered it, not many will go on record. Red paint had been splashed over some walls, a few years before we decided to enter it, we being my father and I. There was nothing odd about it, or the shed, or any of it, period. One of those Teenaged Rumors strikes again.

Heretic says:

June 26, 2006, 5:22 pm

The numbers were exaggerated.
He did kill a few people however. Not 10,000.
Thats all I really know.

Channy says:

July 16, 2006, 12:48 am

Just ridiculous, not even an army can kill that much people. And even before that ONE serial killer could have killed a maximum of 3 people the rest of the 9 997 would have gotten their hands on that fictional character and self defensed their *** on him. Brutally fisting him to death. Just plain ridiculous. Some people are bad liars. :)

andi says:

July 25, 2006, 1:41 pm

yeah uhmm okayy
if the house was burned down.where the f*** would the flashing lights and screaming be coming from if the house if already burned?
who the hell even made this **** upp its so stupid

If it exsits, where can i find it on the site

Jay Davis says:

September 1, 2006, 2:26 am

Uhmmm…if this place claimed that 10,000 people were murdered there and yet no one searched the place, how do they know the exact number and if indeed they took place there. It’d make more believeable and sensible if someone excavated the grounds and found some skeletal remains…otherwise it just a load of ****.

Jay says:

September 1, 2006, 2:31 am

If no one ever searched the house or dug up the grounds, how do they know there were exactly 10,000 murders with no human remains?? Just a load of ****. (P.S. If you hear screams, check the bushes and tree limbs for mini speakers)

Robert M says:

September 2, 2006, 5:20 am

For all u people who do not believe, this is 100 percent true!! only it was not 10,000 people it was 250,000 people!!! they were left laying in the back yard by the serial killer! true story.

nick says:

September 9, 2006, 9:21 pm

is this really tru because if is **** man i will never like the house

BeiBei says:

September 12, 2006, 5:15 pm

Nobody killed 10,000 let alone 250,000 people. Only an idiot would believe such nonsense. If you don’t have anything better to do than post stupid comments, find somewhere else to do so.

google map link to where it used to be.

drove by it myself thousands of times since i was a kid and before they closed the road off. they’ve been doing tons of weird excavations around it… maybe there is some truth to it? all i remember, is being told they used the inside of the house to film part of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

the road does exist, and before it burned down they used to turn the house into a “Haunted House” every Halloween. It was rumored to be haunted but no one ever really knew the real story.

KILLED ALL THOSE PEOPLE? WERE THEY ALL EMOS? “hi im a serial killer,com round to my suiside house and ill giv u a hand.” YEA RIGHT.wadever.

Blu says:

December 31, 2006, 3:14 pm

I believe that the house was there and the road did in fact exist but the number of people killed is a little far fetched. I did some research on the house and nothing came up about 10,000 people being killed or even being reported missing. Call me a skeptic… (:o)*

I lived in the colony from 97-05,Crider Rd does exist,it was the biggest pain in the azz i ever drove on.Made I-635 rush hour look like a breeze.I spent many an hour waiting for the light.Thank god they made the new route:) I remember the old house,last time i seen it there were trailers on the property.I used to think and hope they were restoring the house,it was pretty rough.Roof was sagging pretty bad and trees were growing through the steps,it was a mess.But still a beautiful site despite the rott.I don’t know if anyone was murdered in the house but like i said,before it burned down there were trailers on the land perhaps restoring or who knows? I have many pictures of the house from a digital if anyones interested.None from the inside though,i would have loved to seen it inside!!

OK first off…..I live in TC, have all my life. The house did have owners….just down the road(FM544) in that really nice little house, its an older couple. It was their house and as for no one ever searching the house. Ive been inside that house with my family and I was like 6 years old. Take from a girl from TC, I mean yeah, we all thought it was spooky looking and scared of it but please….if you know TC then you know what I mean

THIS IS CRAZY IF IT WAS REAL THEY WOULD HAVE CALLED SOMEONE IN TOO CHECK IT OUT.THERE ARE TOO MANY TRUE HAUNTINGS.FOR PEOPLE TOO TRY TO FAKE ONE AND FAKE IT BADLY I MIGHT ADD.

This house was the filming site of Texas Chainsaw Massacre… no actual massacre occured there. The house (what remained) was moved to San Antonio (or Austin, I can’t remember), fixed up, and is now a BBQ restaurant.. the irony!
All that is left now (or the last time I drove by) was a windmill.

Ashley says:

October 8, 2007, 11:47 pm

The road and house did exist years ago, but no one killed people there. They tore the house down during road construction from The Colony, Frisco, Carrollton areas. Yes, the house existed, no the murders did not. The street has been gone for a while so you can’t say there has never been such a road. Everyone get your facts straight.

Yes, the house and road existed. Yes, some of the interior was used in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the exterior house in the film is in Austin area. No it was not moved to Austin I witnessed it burning TO THE GROUND. And No, not 10,000 murders….not any I have heard of. And Yes, the house has been searched by myself and many other explorers. Just a cool old house and a bunch of B.S. Urban Legend stuff!
I have lived in Carrollton my entire life and this is the truth!

Haha this makes me laugh. I’m glad I came upon this.
Half of the stuff people have posted is correct. I’ve lived in The Colony for 23 yrs, my parent’s for 40. There was a old, white house sitting on top of the hill off crider. There wasn’t anyone killed there. That’s a story your grandparent’s told you to keep you from going out there. We used to drive out there and get high. The house was abandoned for years and unkept. NOONE could have been in that house unless you went in the early 90’s. It was condemned bc the roof fell through partially and the floors were uneasy. There was a fire later that burned some of it down, the city took the rest with a crane. They’re currently building a dump there. Classy, that’s The Colony. I wish there was more to that story, it’d be neat. Fact of the matter, it was an old creepy house that not only you and I noticed to be freaky but they DID film the original tx chain saw massacre there bc the directors found it creepy as well. Enough comments already the truth is apparent.

Don’t forget the filming of an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger at the Old Crider house.

i agree with all the others….how would someone murdered 10,000 people?…..did you even read it before putting that redicoulus story……

I grew up in The Colony and there was no crazy killer that lived there. Crider road did exist. It was a creepy old house but nothing happend there.

T.C. Resident says:

April 13, 2008, 3:01 pm

OMG! i currently live in The Colony and there is no way that one person could kill that many people..
they recently burnes that house down! NOT THAT SCARY!

I used to take the bus from Carrollton to TC in high school. I saw that house everyday. Beautiful old house despite the fact that is was leaning, and rotting. TX Chainsaw Massacre was not filmed there, and no serial killer ever lived there. It was empty for years, and burned to the ground shortly before its 100th birthday, in 1999.

Tasha says:

My family lived in a haunted house in The Colony for 17 years on Baker Drive. We lived there so long because we couldn’t afford to move. When things became untollerable, we prayed throughout the house. This would put a stop to all the activity for a couple of months and then little by little things would start happening again.
Here are some of the things we experienced: My daughter and husband often heard a lady singing. One cold March evening, we went to the grocery story. Our 15 yr old son stayed home. When we came home he was sitting outside on the front porch in his boxers! When we asked why he was sitting outside freezing he said it was because he kept hearing a woman’s voice calling his name. One night, I saw a young man standing in front of the fridge late one night. I thought it was my son but b4 I could say anything he disappeared. One time my husband and son were sawing wood in the backyard and they both saw a man in an old timey bowler hat pass thru the fence, cross the yard and pass thru the fence on the otherside. My husband was on the couch in the livingroom reading late at nightand he heard a squeaking sound. When he turned to look, he saw a little girl coming toward him pulling a little wooden wagon. He jumped up and ran to our bedroom! He didn’t do any late night reading after that! One of my daughter’s friends spent the night and the next morning she told me she saw a man in a hat walk across the living room and thru the wall. One night I got up to get a drink of water from the kitchen and my little dog followed me. Halfway down the hall I got a weird uneasy feeling. The livingroom/kitchen area looked darker than usual and I decided I didn’t want a drink after all. I turned to go back to my room and I then I heard a woman’s voice somewhere behind me, calling my dog’s name. The dog took a couple of steps toward the direction of the voice, but I scooped him up and ran to my bedroom!
These are just a few of the occurances that took place in that house. I could go on for hours with more stories. Although we experienced a lot of weird things in that house, it was a happy home with good memories. Thank God we finally were able to move in 2006.
I doubt that our house was the only haunted house in The Colony. I think people experience things but just blow it off as their imagination or don’t want people to think they are crazy. The few times I talked about these things people didn’t believe me. I often wonder if the new owners are experiencing the same things.

I’m new to Collin County and found this story, hoping it was true! Are there any REAL haunted houses in the area? Halloween is coming and I’m ready for a good scare!
