![]() Also on the calendar every summer, was the Father's Day Fly-In at the properties runway located just 200 yards from the venue featuring ultra light air craft and other small planes. ![]() It also became known as a beautiful venue for weddings, receptions, family and high school reunions, picnics, and parties. ![]() Sit down meals were served, often with local Kralltown Elementary teachers moonlighting as servers on the weekends. In 1972, The Florida Keys Restaurant opened at Footlight Ranch. The Ranch's early history saw days and nights filled with piano music from the Steinway Baby Grands, lent to students who learned from master teachers and pianists, some lured to Pennsylvania from New York. The cantilevered roof over the outdoor stage, built by a local construction company is unique in York County and provides an excellent acoustical experience for performers. The case was closed with no clear explanation of what had happened in the house and what had killed Olivia.Footlight Ranch was designed and built in 1966 by owner John Shreve as an alternative venue to New York City dance instruction for his daughter and as a hospitality center for the region. It needs a serious intervention because I’m not sure what we’re dealing with.” As far as I’m concerned, that house and that entire property should be avoided. Whatever is in there, it’s extremely possessive and behaves so erratically, like a jealous child throwing a tantrum. Its energy kept changing, but none of it felt inviting. I couldn’t breathe, my heart was constantly racing. In the hundreds of locations I’ve studied I’ve never felt such an imposing force. In 2005, in an attempt to debunk the supernatural stories, Hagen hired an Austin-based paranormal investigator, Drew Navarro, to visit.ĭrew said, “I’m not even sure this was even ever on our physical plane. Years after the discovery of the body, rumors that the house was inhabited by evil spirits grew so persistent that the owner of the property at the time, Christopher Hagen, hadn’t been able to sell the property. A being that is known as a Tulpa in Tibetan, or in English, a “thought form.” But then that makes me the crazy one, right?”īased on translations of the Sanskrit found on the altar, locals believed that Olivia had tried to create a supernatural entity of her son. And I don’t believe her spirit wasn’t still in the room with us that night. The city concluded that she post-dated everything but I don’t believe she was alone in that house. Dated the very day we kicked that swollen door down. One of the oddest parts for me is the date on the last letter we found. It was honestly the last thing I expected to see in this town. When I walked into that room and saw the symbols and the photos on that altar I felt a strong angry presence looming over me. The first officer on the scene, Francesca Santiago, describes the scene on entering the house, “I spent a lot of time in El Paso and had an uncle that was into some really dark occult stuff. But she left the flock and became the devil’s prey, plain and simple.“ See if she had reached out, her brothers and sisters in Christ would have supported her. Which is understandable after the death of a child like that, but she just balled up.Ran her husband out. The negligent damage to the house, the obsession with her deceased son, and the clearly pagan symbols and altar were all signs of something seriously wrong with her mental health. She clearly passed her time in some pretty unhealthy ways. ![]() Terry Goldscher, lead investigator for the case, said, “Nobody had seen her in years. ![]() Olivia was last seen in person in September 1991. Travis moved to New England soon after and remarried. She stopped seeing friends and family, stopped going to work, and eventually divorced from her husband, Travis, in early 1991. As a result, Olivia disconnected from society on this news. On March 13, 1990, Aiden was found dead in a pond on the property as a result of accidental drowning. Olivia Jane Mabel was living with her husband Travis and their seven-year-old son, Aiden Travis, on the 13-acre property called Footlights Ranch they owned near the town of Celina in Texas. If this story is a hoax, it is a well-put-together one and a good tale for those seeking all things spooky. It could well be a Blair Witch fictional story using viral marketing, but interesting and spooky nevertheless. Is it really an incredible supernatural story from Texas? Or as suggested by several online bloggers is the story a hoax and a fictional fabrication by a film company called ElfTree Media?ĮlfTree had a Kickstarter project to produce a film called “Thoughtform”. The story of Olivia and Aiden Mabel from Texas emerged in 2016. ![]()
