Slaughter House Farm, Laurel, Every Friday and Saturday in October. Once a year a local farm in Laurel Delaware transforms into what some call a brutally morbid nightmare the likes of which has not been seen or recorded in history. Rumor has it that TJ Scott bought the farm after a long stay at a local mental hospital. The farm is located just off route 13 in Laurel, close enough to lure passing visitors off the busy highway and onto the farm property. What happens to those visitors after coming onto the farm has never been discovered...
