The Haunting of Booger County

Shrouded in gloom, Braxton House crumbles on its foundation in a secluded Ozarks hollow, all but forgotten after victims of a serial killer were unearthed there a year ago. Vacant except for ghosts and the occasional thrill seeker, the mansion still bears the family curse that drives its occupants mad. Author Lilith Harrowing is one of the few people who know the dark history of the house. She has a macabre connection to the mansion and cannot escape being drawn back into the horror that plays out within its walls. Local UFO fanatic Kurtis Landrum maintains a constant vigil on the disturbing events in the decrepit structure across the road. One day he will have undeniable proof about what he knows happens behind its doors. Some seek to exploit the legend of Braxton House, like down on his luck film maker Ian Tenkiller, the outsider with plans to cash in on the ghost stories by taking residence inside the moldy Victorian. Ian sets up equipment to film his experiences in a paranormal documentary despite warnings from the locals and discovers there’s far more to the term, “Beware the Bogeyman” than the old wives tale that gave the deceptively tranquil countryside its nickname.
