This day in history: On August 5, 1956, Donald Lee Baker, age 13, and Brenda Howell, age 11, disappeared while riding bicycles near the Devil's Gate reservoir in California. "An extensive months long search, including divers in the reservoir, failed to turn up anything except their bicycles and Brenda's jacket. A year later, Tommy Bowman, age 8, disappeared only a few yards from his family while hiking the trail above the reservoir. A thorough week-long search by 400 searchers failed to turn up any clues. Three years later, Bruce Kremen, age 6, disappeared just yards from a YMCA camp in the area. Another massive search party failed to uncover any clues to his disappearance." Source
But why in this one area?
"In the 1940s, a group of occultists became interested in the area and attempted rituals intended to open a portal to Hell. The group included rocket scientist Jack Parsons (a follower of Aleister Crowley's Thelema) and L. Ron Hubbard (future founder of Scientology). Their goal was to bring forth a 'moonchild,' which they hoped would be an Antichrist figure that would lead a Thelemic revolution....Some people believe the rituals Parsons led in the area opened a portal to Hell and made the area a magnet for all kinds of dark activity. Devil’s Gate Dam continues to draw the attention of people interested in paranormal investigation. The face in the rock remains, silently holding its secrets, the laughter of the water providing no clues to what it may have seen." Source
