Young and vibrant, a woman named Mable decided to settle down, away from her family, at the age of twenty four. She and her husband, Herb, moved into an old cabin in a remote corner of California's wine country, 45 minutes North of San Francisco. She and her husband soon became a happy little family of 3, bringing Evelyn into the world. Their happiness proved to be short-lived, as Herb received a fatal diagnosis, in his early 30’s. Though he fought nobly, the disease won. He passed away during surgery, as Mable and Evelyn waited in the sitting area just down the hall. After only 7 years of marriage, Rose found herself a grieving widow with a small, 6 year old child. The mother and daughter lived privately, and made it through the years without their husband/father, living off Herb’s inherited stock from the wine industry.

Evelyn felt that losing her father due to illness was an unfair disadvantage to her life, and through the years, at a young age, It left an empty, scarred, angry hole in her heart. One that shaped her character from early on.

As she got older, Evelyn spent all of her time alone. She felt no remorse in neglecting her studies or when she stopped playing with the other children in the community. The only time she would leave her home was when she traveled down to the oceanside by bicycle. She was still a normal girl, just a quiet, introverted one. No one suspected anything, it was just thought to be Evelyn's way of coping. In her early teenage years, her mother discovered she was experimenting in local witchcraft. Soon, her isolation was coupled with pentagrams and spiritual studies.

As decades crept by, Mable’s socialization and contact with society became merely non existent. By the time Mable was 67, she was diagnosed with Heliophobia and Agoraphobia. She eventually moved to the upstairs attic, covering every single window with cloth, blocking natural sunlight light from entering her darkened room. Afraid to live life, her disease and obsessive compulsive disorders only complicated matters worse. Some of her symptoms included wanting nothing to do with people or being outdoors. She was not even mentally capable of checking mail from her own box at the end of the driveway. The only person who ever came to visit their cabin in the woods was a local doctor, who would check up on them from time to time.

By the time Mable was in her late 80’s, her daughter Evelyn’s mind was beginning to show signs of a deteriorating mind herself. Neighbors stated that her depression had worsened, and her vision of reality had become faltered. It was said that she would play games with her mother’s mind, locking her in the attic, and often believing that her mother had been stolen from their own home and that she would search for her mother on the grounds of the property, sometimes yelling and searching down the street. Her chemical disorders of the mind were all more than the neighboring families wanted to accept. She suffered daily with panic and anxiety, but was already accustomed to this way of life. When her name is brought up, people still share stories of seeing Evelyn on the beach side, performing spells on the sand, and spoke of her collection of shells, dolls, canister items, and other unknown memorabilia that was just recently discovered.

The mysteries of their lives, family, physical, mental history will never fully be exposed, as Evelyn was the last child of the family. Stories have been told that people thought Evelyn had cursed her mother into having phobias, which was the downfall of her sanity. When the mother finally passed, it is unknown where she was buried or if she was cremated. Evelyn eventually moved into a county home because she could no longer manage her own well being. Evelyn passed 8 years ago, and since she has left the home in which she grew up in,… no one has entered the home, until my contact, just recently.
