The Martin House (book image did not load)There have been many questions regarding this not-so-small house located along the Gulf Coast. I have brought it to paper. No one tells what happened so many years ago. It is as if they are hiding the truth for whatever reason. The Martin House is riveting and captivating. It is conceivable that the characters were on a mission to get to the bottom of all the secrets and lack of information that was shared. I spoke to many people that had first-hand encounters with the house and the entities that protected it. The mist that came from the bay was described as being a type of camouflage for the ghostly beings that lingered to resolve whatever unfinished business that they left behind with the living.
When information is secretly being withheld from the public, it forces the imagination to take over. After researching what little records I could my imagination took control. I hope it is all that has been longed for.
An answer was needed and so therefore I delivered it…

The Martin House

It appears that there is controversy regarding this house. It is all good. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I asked to go in the house, to rent the house for an event, get a tour or even have some one get pictures for me. I was just curious as to what it looked like and to see if anything happened. They shot me down. Why? You are partially right. The corporation doesn't talk about the horrors but PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY DO. They talk about their encounters while near or around the place. They all can't be lying and I wouldn't want to be to the one to accuse them of it. OPINIONS everybody has them and are entitled to them. It doesn't mean a random person's words will sway what people believe. SORRY. It is what it is.

I don't know who this, "Mythbuster" is, but I have to wonder if they have ever personally done a paranormal investigation of The Martin House or any other place, for that matter? Are they personally trained, and/or qualified to make such a claim? Have they spent ANY amount of time, at The Martin House? Ever? Myth's as we all know, are generally stemmed from old stories. Stories that had to come from a personal experience, at some point. I find it very hard to believe that people just go around making stuff up. Especially, when this author interviewed people and those people shared their stories with her. Now, having said all of that, I have lived in this area for about 7-8 years now, this time. And, several times before then, for 2-3 years at a stint. I have always known The Martin House was haunted and that there was some horrific story behind it. There were people found in the lake, dead. There were murders inside of this house. Besides all of this? The book IS a novel. It doesn't claim, in any way, shape or form, to be a non-fiction writing.

Well I beg to differ, The house in question is exactly what she depicts in her story. I have lived in Bay County all of my life and my family has lived here and surrounding areas for MANY YEARS! Everyone who pays attention knows that The Martin House story is real and true. The Mill bought the house years ago because it was an historical sight and was going to be destroyed. It is closed off to the public and only used for functions instead of made into a bed and breakfast or Historical show home because of its history! If because of your religion or beliefs you don't agree with the history of the house and that it is Haunted then that is okay. Everyone is not on the same page and the haunting of this home are very true!

Thanks for stepping up to the plate for me. I greatly appreciate your words and the response.

The Martin House: Setting the record straight.

If the person calling themselves "mythbuster" could come to the front of the line I would like to respond in my defense. Firstly I would like to say if they could read they would see it is classified as a fiction read. Plain and Simple. I used true stories in which I was told. Secondly I would like to add that I have used interviews of which consisted of many respectable people. I wouldn't go so far as to say they are liars. I believe they were truthful. Thirdly I would also like to add that I, as does everyone am entitled to an opinion. You are entitled to yours. You are only 1 individual, 1vote and 1 voice. Thanks for your input but I believe you are outnumbered as far as who thinks something might have happened in that house. One of which was DECEASED MY MOTHER. Shall you call her a liar? Probably not a good idea. If you want to get into a debate on this subject I will not turn you down but you should know I have people who are dead set on the fact that they saw something within the house and the grounds on which it sits. I am here to defend those who spoke to me with the expectation of being taken seriously and not be ridiculed for their story. Once again thank you for your OPINION. OH and SANDY CREEK is only a hot minute away from the presses. Have a great day! Trina M. Ward

wrongfully accused

I wonder if Mythbuster has thought to actually take the time to read the book. It is clearly stated that it is fiction. Just because she thinks something actually took place in the house doesn't mean the story was stated to be a factual account. I have had several encounters within the house while at company functions within the Martin house. I believe there is something in the area that haunts it. Why are the upstairs rooms locked? Because it is unsafe? why? They would give no answer to that question. I have heard stories about the lake too. Bodies were found and parts of bodies were felt on the bottom but then disappeared. So mythbuster it seems you are outnumbered regarding the legitimacy of the pretense of the story. I suggest you do a little more investigating before putting your foot in your mouth.

Thanks for your response in regards to "mythbuster" I think he/she bit off more than they could chew. I think a lot of people feel the way we do about the house and there is no denying that.

Its for real.

Ive never been able to confirm that anyone was ever killed there. However, when the house sat vacant in the 80's and early 90's you can easily confirm through public records that a satanic cult was evicted from the house. The upstairs of the house to this day still has signs on the walls and floors from their rituals. I truely believe that whatever happened during this time opened doors that havent been closed. I have personally seen and experienced things at this house that I wont even share on here because frankly, if I hadnt been there myself, I wouldnt belive that it really happened. I tempted whatever is there twice to show itself, and it did. I will never, ever, do it again, nor will I ever go back to this place.

I want to hear more

Can you tell us more about what the house looks like inside. They won't let us in. (Us being a paranormal investigation team) I have heard there are rooms upstairs that are unaccessable by the public and those who have rented it for celebratory occasions. I would like to talk to you about what you saw. I can only imagine the fear you must have felt but believe me I have been there and done that. Please respond. Thanks

I have personally seen and

I have personally seen and experienced things at this house I can not explain. I wont even begin to share my experiences here because frankly, if I hadnt expereienced it myself I wouldnt even believe it. The bottom line is this. Ive never been able to confirm that a murder happened at the Martin House but you can easily confirm that a satanic cult was evicted from the house while it sat abandoned by the police in the late 80's or early 90's. I remember reading it an article in the News Herald about it many years ago. If you ever get the opportunity to go in the upstairs of this house, which is not open to the public, the evidence of the cults presence is still evident everywhere. My freshman year of college I worked at a local TV station and was shown video from a news story that was taped there. The segment never aired due to what occured on the tape. I will never forget the things I saw on that tape, nor my personal experiences there. Whatever is in that house is not kind and does not mean well.
