The Murderer's Eradicator
Forty years from today, approximately in 1967, a man from North Carolina died in his local home in Charlotte after his daily visit with his children, who unfortunately lived with their mother, the man's ex-wife. This tragic occurrence by a contract killer in the neighborhood not only devastated the man's family, but still haunts the murderer today. Just seven years ago the son of the man's murderer supposedly died from severe schizophrenia. He was found on that night hanging from the banister of his three story mansion with cuts all down his left arms and missing a leg. Townspeople who knew of the man, now called the Murder's Eradicator, suspect he was the one who caused the murderer's son to breathe his last breath. The Murderer's Eradicator was often told to look like an immense boned skeleton delimited with patches of skin and a stick (spear like object) through his chest. This is where Zombies came from.
It all started back in 1975 when the Murderer's Eradicator was seen out in the yard of Joseph Cockman, the grandchild of Gary Dirals (the actual murderer). They say while walking back home from Baskin Robins at around 11:00 PM they actually saw the monstrous fiend dragging himself through Joseph's yard, equipped with a machete covered in blood. Little children also say they've seen the Bogeyman, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are telling the truth, so we'll never for sure really know all the facts. Also back in 1976 a young woman was walking on her way to work and ran into a large man looking around the age of fifty three. She reported that as soon as he had seen her he lifted from his pocket a screwdriver and immediately jabbed it into her abdomen, severely piercing her spleen. She then suffered two years of hospitalization. Oddly that was not all that happened. When they had found her she was rolling around frantically screaming, "Gockley! Gockley!" which was apparently the name of the man who had been murdered. Surprisingly, the woman was the daughter of the murderer's third cousin. The latest occurrence of the monster happened just last year near Raleigh, North Carolina. A young boy of eleven years old died on his way home from a friend's house. While walking down the rough, worn out road he happened to walk down a murky alley when "SNATCH!!" he was gone in a flash. For six days straight there was no sign of him anywhere, but then on the seventh day they found his body laying flat on the ground missing bones and flesh on his legs, arms, and face. Many of the people still believe it was caused by the Murderer's Eradicator, but investigators still have no sign of evidence that anyone did it.
This began to become a popular subject during the late 1970s, encouraging horror story writers to publish books about the strange occurrences. The popular movie titled Machete was actually based on this man. The most well known narrative regarding to this legend is The Evocative Carnage written by Carl S. Price. All through the 1980s there were occurrences which all were directed to this one essence. No one quite knows for sure what had caused all these crimes to happen during the 1960s to now, but one thing we know for sure is that these happenings were gruesome and the tale of the Murderer's Eradicator will go on through history just as the tales of Bigfoot or Yeti.
