THE HAUNTED MILL PRESENTED BY THE SCREAM SHACK

The Dravens

Barclay Draven was the owner of a travelling side show (though most called it a freak show) that travelled through the town of Coldwater every October.  The show consisted of freaks and oddities from all over the world.

In the late 1920’s, Barclay decided he wanted to settle in Coldwater with his family and sold the side show.  The Dravens took up residence on the vacant upper floor of the Mill and settled in to the town of Coldwater.  The following

October, Barclay opened a smaller version of his side show inside of the Mill where he would charge locals a shiny nickel to view the show.  

This is when things got strange.  Those who went through the show came out forever changed. Some lost their ability to speak, some their vision, and some became bedridden (among other things).  The Barclays were eventually driven out of town by an angry mob after half of the town went missing.

It is said that every October the Barclays still walk the Mill.
