Hey y'all, it's been a while! I hope everyone's doing okay. I'm staying safe from the storm here in Texas, don't you worry about me.
Today's blog post is gonna have a double purpose. I always write a blog to give more context to Daniel's tapes, but history is something I already talked about a lot here. So I'm gonna be talking about a 2nd thing today too - the Walker Creek Historical Society. Someone told me last week that there was some speech in Walker Creek by a member of that organization. Doesn't really matter to the investigation but it's a piece of information to keep in mind I guess. Anyway, I'll be talking about both of those. First, the tape. Started with an ad for the Hunting and bait store back in Walker Creek. Nothing special there, just an ad with high energy bullshit. I never liked that store really. Anyway, the rest of the tape is just a history program. And a girl eating another human...looked like somewhere in Denton based on the architecture. Watching that tape was not fun, to put it simply. I can explain some backstory for y'all though. I know it'll help After Mayor Brown got in office, a lot of stuff changed. You've all seen some of it through Daniel's tapes. Mainly those changes were good things for the time I was there, but big changes nonetheless. One of those things was the broadcast station. There were new educational programs - I didn't watch em though. I didn't need education about Walker Creek and I didn't have kids so I never really saw any of them. Until now, at least. It went through a lot of stuff I didn't know, mainly the skinwalker history. It was accurate to what I knew about our town history, but it was just...offputting. It was difficult to see all of that history from their perspective. I grew up knowing our town history by heart. Being proud of it. How John Sanders built Walker Creek from scratch, how we grew larger and larger and how my family helped with that. And I was there for the economic crisis and the impeachment of Lambert and Sorkan and all those other crazy events. I didn't like watching that tape. Everything I had known being corrupted by the fact that all of it was orchestrated by them. Touched by them. Controlled by them. I don't know. It's just crazy, that's all. 3 months into this and I'm still shocked every time I see something. I want to move on from that part though. Let's talk about something a bit more lighthearted. The Walker Creek Historical Society was always an interesting little part of Walker Creek. Never really got much recognition or care for the time I was there. I mean, they're not even in the Archive that y'all found, so that tells you something. I mean to put it simply - they were a bunch of damn nerds. Nobody cared about 'em. They obsessed over every little detail of Walker Creek's history, even though it was still a pretty young town without much to obsess over. Didn't even get created until the 60's or something. They controlled the Sanders Mine Historical Park pretty much. Even though the local government maintained it, they had free reign. Fundraisers, speeches, events, whatever, it was all created by them. They did similar stuff with Bernard Overlook and a few other places. They wrote books, created TV programs (probably including the one Daniel uploaded). I don't know if they actually were important for the skinwalker plan or if they really were just a bunch of overly excited scholars like we all thought. Doesn't matter though. Looks like they're still alive and kicking according to that event from last week. Never heard of Tony Watman, so I can't help explain that speech. But hey, if they end up being important later then now you know a least a little bit about them. That's all I have for today; don't know what else to talk about really. I'll try to write more standalone blogs soon at least, I know y'all want me too. I've just been dealing with some issues in my garden recently that have been taking my time, so I apologize for that. Thanks for sticking by me and I'll see y'all later! Also, before I leave - if you're a fellow Texan, stay safe! I know it's pretty difficult right now but we'll pull through. - Trevor
