Village Hall/Police Department
This house, which dates from the early nineteenth century, has rounded exterior corners, and has been renovated for its current use. On many occasions, the sheriff deputies who stay after hours to do paperwork have reported hearing strange noises.

I’ve heard that no one lasts working at the police dept. very long. They regularly go through office help and policemen because after a while too many things happen and people get freaked out. Just what I’ve heard…

I grew up in McHenry…so I was in the schools during the 80″s. Somewhere in Bull Valley there used to be a haunted attraction called the “Bull Valley Scare”. Is the Stickney house the one that I’m thinking about? Man this yearly halloween haunted house attracted lines upon lines of people. Does anyone no of this?
I would love to take my kids now that they are old enough…that is if Bull Valley still has the scare.

I live very close to this house.
And I went there with a few of my friends last night.
We had been on an exploration all night, not expecting to see anything..
But that house…
Was where the most had happened..
As we were pulling up we saw a light in the top middle window.
We turned the car off to see if the light was just a reflection of our headlights.
The light was still there.
My 2 friends had gotten out of the car, leaving me and my other 2 friends behind.
They walked over to the front of the house and took pictures with MY CAMERA.
They booked @$$ back to the car almost crying because they had heard people running towards them. [MIDDLE OF FALL, SO KEEP IN MIND THERE ARE LEAVES ON THE GROUND.]
I have pictures…
E-mail me if you would like to see everything we saw.
I promise you-it’s worth it.

So, one day my friends and I went for a walk, right? Well, it was about 6:00 in the afternoon, and we turned on this road called Bull Valley. Real creeeeepy, cuz we kept hearing noises and nothing was there. Then, like two minutes later, we saw this house. Looked haunted, didn’t know what to think…

If you all are talking about the round house with the creek in the front. I went there after the Blair Witch Project was released and it is creepy. Statues and monuments behind the house throughout the woods. This house was a hiding point for the vampire cult killings from Kentucky.

Me and my friends are lame and have nothing better to do than go out ghost hunting somtimes. So naturaly we went to the Stikney masion one night. When we got there this really cool cop let us in and gave us a tour. We have most of it on film. Unfortunately he would not comment on tape but the things he said off tape confirmed some of the supperstitions. After he left we walked around for a bit and took some pictures video and sound bits. We got nothing good on film but the flashes on all of our cameras simontaniosly went out and strage orbs apeared in the top right rear window of the house. The audio we got had what sounded like voices but it wasnt really solid enough to say for sure that it was any sort of spirt. I strongly advise going there yourself maybe youll get luckie like us and have some wierd things happen.

I too grew up in Mch.county in the 80’s. Bull Valley scare was on Mason Hill Rd. I worked in it all thru highschool. It was awesome fun! I’m sorry to say it is no longer around. I have been by the 2 houses on Cherry Valley rd. The one I was told was the Devil house was actually the house of Chester Gould (of **** Tracy fame, but I’ll tell you it is really creepy out there in the dark of night.

In the late 70’s my friends and I use to go out to the Stickney house and the house you are calling the Devil house.The house that everyone is calling the Devil house was really occupied by Devil Worshipers and you could go there at a certain time of the day/evening and you could see them all in the long gowns lined up along the road…if you were lucky enough to get far enough down the driveway wich back then had dead animal carcuses hanging from the tree’s along the drive you could see them doing there ceromonies and as for the Stickney house you could go there at night and in one of the bedrooms upstairs you could see a soft glow in the window with that of a small childs silouhette in the window.

bull valley in general is said to be a “creepy” place because of all the trees and it feels so..tight? i guess you could say? but the house you all speak of here has been knocked down for a few years now.

My Father went there in the late 70’s and alot after that we still go there to this day, and Stickeney Mansion is not the only Creepy place on that road..There use to be this Place 2121 cherry valley lane and it use to have this gate in the front of it so one day my father was going there with his buddies and he set the gate on fire not even 2 minutes later he went back and there were no burn marks at all.. There is another time him and my mother went down there and as soon as they got like 2 feet past the gate this car appears out of nowhere and starts chaseing them so they pull into this church and there was no car to be seen, They tried to find that church again but never did…. They now turned 2121 into nature trail but I did the ouja board and It says that there is a little creek there and I asked it what about the creek it said 666……I get the chills to this day just going there..

About 8 years ago I took my daughter on that same road and stop at that devils house where there was a huge fence in front. Well I got out my car and went up to the fence to see if I could see anything. Well I did there were rusty farm like equipment look like very sharp objects everywhere. I heard that they put them there so you would stay away because if you did get past the tall fence you would run into these sharp objects and really hurt yourself.I lived in crystal Lake for over 20 years so I have heard lots of stories about it. My older brother went out there with a few buddies and he claims that he saw about 6 to 8 devil whorshipers walking on the side of the road around midnight. He said that they never looked up they just kept looking down with their black hooded robes.

About 15 years ago I went to BUll valley for the purpose of checking out all the hype of the stories I had heard. That rounded house that is now a police dept was there but boarded up, all but one window towards the back, up stairs was a light on we sat in the car staring at it and the light flashed and went out. HELLO no power in a boarded up house just felt soo creepy. That whole road out there.

I grew up in McHenry County, and my Mom use to drive us down Cherry Valley Rd. to get spooked out around Holloween time. The Stickney Mansion was empty for a long time (1980’s). It is true about Mrs. Stickney being a medium, and that spirts would hide in the corners. It is a stange place. The property down the rd a bit was owned by Devil worshipers, a cult of them. There was a huge wooden fence surrounding the property, and through the trees you could see a bunch of little huts, or small houses. I know that the other residents on the street would see them walking down the road, in the middle of the night, in dark robes,and chanting. Very scary! It is so scary because at both locations on this street, here were people messing around with truly evil things.I am going to take my husband and kids down Cherry Valley Rd. this weekend, to get us in the Holloween spirt!

Yes it’s true of the house w/ no corners. But what’s NOT true is the “devils house” & ppl who were devil worshipers…it was just an old house set back in their woods down a long drive way. That house is NOT haunted & there was NO devil worshiping. MANY stories have been told about Bull Valley & the “Bulll valley monster” that I grew up hearing creepy stories of. Every one needs a good scare every once in a while…all the stories are fish stories nothing more.
As far as the house w/ no corners goes. It was infact built to keep spirits out. Mr. Stickeny was a very superstious person & it is believed that spirits will manifest through corners & the reason he built the house w/ no corners was to keep the spirits OUT NOT to invite them in.
ALSO ppl who “claim” to see blood on the walls down the “devils house” driveway are liars…no such thing. it was not a sacrificial place, simply a home. No deaths, murders, or sucides were ever there nor ever happened…Tell a good story ppl , but get ur facts straight
