There Goes The Neighborhood

When I still was living in Vermont, we used to see abandoned or burnt down houses all over the place. One day me and my friends were walking through the woods out behind my house and we stumbled across a field with an old mansion in it. We immediately went back to my house and asked my parents if they knew anything about it but they said that they didn't. The next day me and my friends went back after school to see what the house was like up close. We discovered that there was a homemade graveyard with four crosses made out of wood that we later found out was the family that lived in the house. We went down to the library so we could find records of the house. It turns out that the house had caught on fire but never actually burnt all the way down, the family had been trapped inside and had died. To this day nobody knows who buried the bodies in the field.
