The Flesh Farm [Official Website] J.P. Orville Butcher was born on October 17th, 1974 to a small family located deep inside the dilapidated farm country of Jordan, Minnesota. His father was a quiet man employed as a butcher at the nearby Portsmouth Slaughterhouse while his mother was bedridden due to suffering from severe psychosis, or at least that's what the townspeople were told. It was not until many years later after the birth that the public, or anyone else, found out the couple had given birth to a baby boy. When rumors started that the odd couple living in the broken-down farmhouse on Highway 17 had a child in their house, people started questioning how the mother could care for the child while the father was working long hours at the slaughterhouse. In October of 1993, nineteen years after the birth, the truth to the rumors began to unfold when local townspeople began reporting sightings of a strange man committing questionable and unsavory acts during the cool autumn nights. One farmer told police he was plowing the north-east corner of his corn-field when he noticed a strange looking young man crouched in a nearby Oak tree gnawing on what appeared to be the leg of a dog. The farmer grabbed his rifle behind the seat but when he turned to fire, the strange man was gone. The next morning, Sheriff John Antern discovered the mutilated remains of a stray dog near the field. Teeth marks found embedded in the remaining bones and the missing right leg seemed to confirm the farmers eerie story. Ms. Carrie-Ann Merrin reported another incident on October 31, 1993. She told authorities she had stayed up late to enjoy an all-night horror marathon that was airing to celebrate Halloween. She thought she heard sounds coming from the large living-room window behind her but kept insisting to herself that the films were just making her jumpy. She soon fell asleep and was awakened around 2:00 A.M. by a loud thump outside the nearby window. This time she knew there was something outside and reluctantly peeked over the couch to see what, or who, was outside her window at such an early hour. At first she saw nothing except the blackness of the night because her eyes were attempting to focus through the large pane of glass. All at once her eyes snapped into focus and she saw a man with large, crazed, eyes transfixed on the television using a rusty meat cleaver to methodically and randomly slash through his own flesh. She later told police that he must have been there all night mutilating himself due to the amount of blood everywhere (some dried and coagulated) and the wounds she had reported would've taken hours to inflict. She also told police that the strange man didn't even seem to notice when she started screaming and backing into the nearby bedroom to call for help. He just stood there staring with a blank face at the television while bleeding down the side of her house. The next morning they found a large amount of dried blood, feces and tangled hair outside the window. After this second incident, the rumors that had started over 19 years earlier suddenly sprang back to life. Perhaps there was someone, or something, more than the townspeople had originally thought, living inside the decaying farmhouse on Highway 17. Both incidents occurred within a mile of the farmhouse and motorists claim to have seen a shadowy figure lurking in the woods around the area and on Highway 17. Throughout the winter of 1993-1994 the sightings suddenly stopped and people were left to their gossip. The following summer, police decided to take action after numerous complaints of a foul odor from the house. When detectives went to ask questions they quickly recognized the nauseating stench wafting from the house as rotting flesh. They reported being able to hear the sound of buzzing when they came within 10 feet of the house, which was later discovered to be from the thousands of flies and maggots that infested the residence. The farmhouse was a complete horrific mess. Years of rotten food, miscellaneous junk, human excrement, urine, insects and broken furniture cluttered the crumbling rooms which gave the odor of decaying flesh and an antiques shop. Downstairs, the 20-year-old J.P. was found in the cellar staring at a filthy brick wall, covered in his own feces and quietly humming "Jesus Loves the Little Children." They detained the man while a forensics team was called in. Soon after, they found the remains of his mother under approximately three feet of miscellaneous clutter in the closet of an upstairs bedroom. The autopsy revealed she had been savagely beaten and decapitated approximately 11 years prior, presumably by her husband who had gone about his life working at the slaughterhouse during the day then physically, emotionally and psychologically abusing his family throughout the night. The area in which J.P. had been detained his entire life was found in the barn behind the house. From the day his mother was murdered (J.P. was 9)
