Real Haunted House

Red-Eyed Man

Piper, Kansas

Many years ago, a young teenage girl was killed by her jealous adopted sister. Today the house is plagued by paranormal activity. A toy horse, which must be pressed firmly to produce sound, makes loud noises with no apparent aid. Lights flash on and off, and children report seeing a red-eyed man.

The girl who was murdered was named Cindy Bierman. She was murdered by her STEP-sister Shari, her boyfriend and a friend of theirs. I only know this because a relative of mine worked for the attorney that represented Shari. This is not a “legend”. It just happened in the early 1980’s. It was a brutal and terrible thing that happened. My sister played softball with Cindy when they were young. It’s garbage like this that causes the family not to get any peace. They’re good people. Leave ‘em be.

I believe the red-eyed man is the boyfriend because he’s the only man involved in that story and i wouldnt think that it’s the dad because the dad isn’t mentioned in the story so it has to be the boyfriend. And if the house was haunted before, then i think the red-eyed man is what caused the jealous, adopted sister and her boyfriend to kill the other sister.

Bierman’s 20-year-old daughter, Shari, was convicted and sentenced to spend 15 years in prison for killing her 17-year-old sister, Syndi, in 1989.

Syndi Sue Bierman
17 Years Old
July 21, 1971 to February 19, 1989

Syndi Sue Bierman, of Kansas City, Kansas, was a 5′ 3″ blonde-haired, blue-eyed, 17-year-old bundle of energy with a smile that could light up the room. As a young child, Syndi was always busy with something – dance lessons, competitive swimming, diving, softball, reading, piano lessons, and playing the trumpet and flute. When she was in junior high school, Syndi played in the band, played basketball and volleyball, and was a cheerleader. In high school, she was yearbook photographer, played softball and volleyball, and was on the drill team. Syndi was an honor roll student who had been admitted to KU, and was looking forward to college and everything that goes with it. Throughout her life, she was an active member of our church. She participated in Sunday School, the puppet ministry, served as an acolyte, and was a Sunday school teacher for a short time. Syndi didn’t always agree with us and was sometimes a little snippy, but she had a conscience that enabled her to care about others’ opinions and seek forgiveness when she needed it. We have many wonderful memories of Syndi, including her beautiful smile, her care and concern for others, her love of family and the positive way in which she touched many lives. We wish you could have known her.

On Saturday evening, February 19, 1989, Syndi Sue Bierman of Kansas City, Kansas had returned home from work around 8:30 pm and had invited two of her girlfriends over to watch a video with her. Syndi’s sister, Shari, and her two children were living in a basement apartment in our home.

While Syndi and her two friends were watching television, Shari and two male acquaintances came to Shari’s apartment. One of the boys called upstairs and, according to the girls, made sexual remarks to Syndi on the telephone. Shari came upstairs a few times asking if Syndi’s friends were spending the night and asked what time they were leaving. Shari and her male friends then left. Around 11:15 pm, one of Syndi’s friends left and the other left a short time later after declining Syndi’s invitation to spend the night because she had church plans with her family early the next day.

From what we can piece together, Syndi was either in bed or getting ready for bed when her sister Shari and the two males returned. We’ve heard two stories of what then transpired, but will probably never know for sure. One story is that Shari and her two male friends planned to kill my husband and me for insurance money. The other is that they planned to rob the house and Syndi woke up and foiled the plan. Whatever the case, they severely beat and stabbed Syndi to death. They then left the house thinking that my husband and I would return and find Syndi; however, Shari came back before we returned and called 911 to report that our house had been robbed. We arrived home to find the house swarming with police officers and the news that our daughter Syndi had been murdered.

Our daughter Shari Bierman and her two friends, Conrad Joseph Hernandez and Archie E. “A.J.” Owens were all convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.

OMFG!!!! I live in Piper!!! I’m gonna have to tell my dad to drive me up to the house. My dad likes the paranormal ’cause we used to live in a haunted house. We will probably watch from the car. This is so cool! I sorta don’t believe the “Red Eyed Man” story. Thats not true. But what if it were a demon… what if the only reason the adopted girl killed her sister was because she had her body possesed? Maybe the house was infested with demons? I’m gonna find out for myself… I’m feeling brave today so I’m gonna go on the inside and find out for my self!

Wow. There are a lot of people who “knew” these girls, but can’t seem to spell their names correctly. It’s “Shari” (whom I went to high school with) and “Syndi” (who was in my brother’s graduating class.) Shari was unstable from birth, as far as I could tell in school, and it was only a matter of time before she harmed someone. It was very nearly my best friend, who for some unknown reason Shari did not care for. Anyway, if anyone were to haunt that house it would be Shari and not her sister, and Shari is still alive. Also, I know many people who live within a half mile of that house and this is the first I’ve heard of it being haunted at all. It’s simply not true, or I would know of it. I wouldn’t bother driving by; you’ll just be disappointed. It’s just a regular house.

I knew Syndi. She was and is an angel. She was a very, very kind and intelligent person who just happened to be beautiful. I’m sure she is watching over her family now. She and her family are in my prayers. The anniversary of her death was yesterday in 1989. May she rest in peace.

Jacob, You’re such a pig. So disrespectful. And poor Cindy has nothing to do with this haunting ****. If this has to do with anyone, it’s the insane people who killed her… It’s disgusting. I can’t believe hate gets this far. It seems impossible. Sherri was on drugs.. she probably never would have done what she did if she wasn’t.

What a beautiful girl you are Syndi Sue Bierman. May you rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to your parents who are absolutely wonderful people.

I want to see this with my own eyes. I need to come to Kansas check it out. It gives me chills but I like scary stuff like this.

This message is for Dae Rolf. Sorry it is so late in posting as I just read their reply to my post.
HOW DARE YOU CALL OTHERS IGNORANT! You must be speaking of yourself because that certainly does not describe me. Now go back to your “ghost investigating” as if it were a serious matter because you obviously have no skills to communicating with the living. Ignorant piece of ****!
