In November 1952 Loganville police responded to a call of "people acting strangely".
First responders found five members of the Scorpios, who had recently immigrated from Sicily, standing still in the middle of Bay Creek Road, staring off into the nearby fields. The door of their blue house hung ajar, and a long trail of ichor ran from the porch out into the road.
Searchers were unable to locate the father, David Scorpio.
Officers attempted to obtain information from the family, but they never responded to direct communication. As a matter of fact no member of the remaining Scorpios ever again spoke a word, even after long years of deep therapy and hospitalization.
David Scorpio was never found.
A neighbor reported a conversation between her daughter and one of the Scorpio children. The child whispered to her friend during a sleepover that her family had run away from "the old country" to try to escape "demone scorpione", a kind of family curse. She said that the only way to break the curse and escape the demon was to creep into its thorny lair, rub its unprotected belly while it was asleep, and back away. Only by completing this ritual, only by being brave, could the curse be lifted.
Birds and deer avoid the area. In Loganville they say that something still stirs the long grass in the fields around the abandoned blue house.
The Bay Creek Demon is waiting in its lair.
