I went back into Blackwood Logging records and found three separate incidents that echo what Tom described at Site 27, but years earlier and across different crews. The most unsettling discovery isn’t the stories themselves, it’s the workplace rules Blackwood appears to create afterward, like you can’t trust voices, time, or even a headcount.

I am piecing together company records that were never meant to be seen. Between strange mechanic reports and a pattern of unexpected absences, the evidence points toward restricted areas that the town prefers to keep quiet. This is about what was truly left behind when the operation supposedly ended.

The official story is that Blackwood Logging “shut down” in the late 70s. But when I start pulling property records, leases, tax payments, and maintenance agreements, the timeline breaks wide open. Why would a company that no longer exists keep buying industrial equipment, paying contractors, and maintaining roads inside Blackwood Forest years later. So what actually stopped in 1979? The logging, or the public-facing version of Blackwood itself?

What do you think really happened to the Blackwood Logging company?

Last week, I told you I found two interviews in the Milbrook Historical Society. Both were conducted by a reporter named Jacob Springer and Both were with men who had worked for the Blackwood Logging Company. The first was Walter Harlan. The second… was Tomas Bell.

Today we walk through Tom’s story, built from reporter Jacob Springer’s original interview notes. You’ll hear why Tom volunteers for the winter crew, the specific rules foreman Frank Mercer lays down about the forest, and how the Blackwood slowly changes from “cold and quiet” to “quiet in the wrong way.” Then it escalates: an unseen force drags a man from his tent after he answers to his name, voices imitate mothers and dead brothers, and Tom’s own wife calls him from the trees with a fear he cannot ignore. When boot prints appear around camp that match the tread of the crew’s boots, the line between folklore and evidence disappears.

The mystery only deepens when radios fail, compasses disagree, their stored water turns oily overnight, and the crew breaks the one rule they were warned about: do not drink from the creek. What follows feels like contamination, hallucination, and something else entirely. A radio call finally goes through and headquarters insists a search team already reached Site 27 and found nothing there, no camp and no men. When rescuers arrive, they claim the survivors are miles from where they think they are.
