"Wow, you must be so proud of yourself for snapping some shots of cabin 28. If you were so insanely interested in what happened at that cabin, why didn't you just ask someone about it? Instead of sneaking around the cabin shooting pictures, like a gutless wonder. Damn that redneck for having respect for the dead, what the fuck was he thinking hey?
"Of course people are fascinated with the brutality other human beings are capable of inflicting, and yes some people would pay to go and stay in a haunted house, whether it truly was haunted or not, because their they aren't held back by the same moral code that defines most of our behavior.
"If you want to be haunted why don't you grow some balls and go talk to the people who are really haunted by these murders, the survivors. Why don't you preach your free speech and haunted house bull shit to them. I am sure they would love your capitalistic attitude about the loss of their loved ones. Maybe you could even get one of them to sell tickets at the gate.
"As far as ripping on the locals around Keddie and Quincy, get a fucking clue. The whole reason people are charmed and enchanted by the two small towns is because they don't have a starbucks on every corner, or fast food joints littering the main drag. Stay in the city pansy before you get what karma has coming to you."

"I would like to start by saying the person or persons who wrote these articles are miserable excuses for human beings! you lack in respect for the Sharp family, and have no business writing this article you knew nothing of Keddie or Quincy before this so what gives you the right to make the comments of redneck and crappy little burger joint. What happened to the Sharp family was tragic, disgusting and yes still unsolved, but what makes up your sick and morbid mind to be so obsessed? as far as you saying the house should be turned into a theme park! how disgusting are you? and for that matter why would this community want to attract sicko's like you? and yes I am part of this community always have been and always will be. Just a quick question if something of this magnitude happened to your family would you want someone like you writing terrible articles as you have done??? maybe you don't need to answer that, if you have such disrespect for this family I can only imagine how you treat your own!!! I can imagine this family would like to move on and solve what has happened and yes getting the story out there can help, but that is not what you have done, can you even look at yourself in the mirror?

"I don't think you realize the lives that were taken and what the families went through I just take it as if your website is trying to make it into a show it really happened and people lost there lives and families where torn apart. I hope you know that if this were your family you wouldn't care for this either."

"... I grew up there about 10 minutes from there in Paxton. I grew up with the sons of the man who owns it. And personally what happened there is MORBID and disgusting and I think people like you shouldnt be allowed on PRIVATE property to Display it and explore for your own sick reasons."

When I replied, rather sensibly, "You're right what happened on there is MORBID and DISGUSTING. Hence, the public's extreme fascination with it. And people like you have to learn that it isn't sick to be interested in tragedy. It's healthy."

She replied again:

"How is it healthy when you want to know sick things that happened to REAL people.... Those people, that FAMILY were murdered...... and people exploit that... Thats sick..."

At which point I threw in the blood-soaked towel:

"You say tomato, I say tragedy is fascinating. Viva la difference."

i just want to say that i was very affended by the person who wrote the keddie article. i have lived in Quincy, CA for 16 years and the keddie murders was a tragety. in your article you stated why not make it into a tour place and charge an admission. FIRST OFF the murders was a tragety not out for someones amusement. you have no right to make comments like that. im glad the REDNECKY GUY made you leave you should be there in the first place, it was none of your business to be there taking pictures. IF you ever decide to come back here to amuse yourself with others pain you better do it respectfully. you say that the S.F chronicle annoys you by saying that they are going to tear it down, well who do you think you are to make that kind of responce that it could be a tourist enticement. you are the most disapointing writer i have after seen. TRY TO LEARN A LITTLE RESPECT NEXT TIME BUDDY

Alright, I want you to know something very important. The murders that took place at the Keddie Resort have impacted the family in ways you could never imagine. There is still family who lived through this terrible tragedy. The Sharp family has been trying desperately to somehow make this horror end. Sites such as yours do not help. They flaunt this story around as though it is the best thing that ever happened. You want ghosts? You want to have a haunted house? Why don't you have your family murdered, and then see how fun that is? It is not fun, it is not something to be taken lightly.
I have been to the Keddie Resort. Why? Because my bestfriend's mother is Sheila Sharp, the teenager who found her mother, brother, and friend murdered. The sister of Tina Sharp who was abducted and later murdered. We have been trying to let the world know of this incident, but not the way you have let them know. We want justice done, not an amusement park about ghosts. How sick are you? To make a mockery of these people? To say "Looking inside the back window... If you use your imagination, it almost looks like blood on the door, doesn't it? Creepy..." Yeah maybe it is creepy, but families have lived there since. There is no blood, no evidence left of the murder. Nothing left but your sick website.
You should be ashamed of your treachery.

To Whom It May Concern:

On behalf of the Sharp family, I would like to formally let you know that they do not appreciate the portion of your site regarding the Keddie murders. Behind all your talk of ghosts and the creation of some eerie purported experiences, there is a family that lost several members of their family that night. For the record, the house is not haunted. And for anyone wishing to go inside, I am sure I don't need to remind you that it is private property. I can tell you that I went inside recently, by permission, and there is virtually nothing to see.

I can appreciate your right to freedom of speech, but I would ask that you demonstrate some responsibility and maturity in your pursuit. And as far as the SF Chronicle article you have up on the site, so much of it is inaccurate that it is offensive. Given the fact that the Sharps are otherwise private figures, and given the mistruths printed, it borders on defamation. I would respectfully request that you remove the Keddie portion of your site out of consideration to the family.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and willingness to show some compassion.

Sincerely,
[name removed]
Sharp family representative

To Whom It May concern,
I am a native of Quincy California, and was born in 1981 when the Keddie Murders occurred. I understand that Quincy folks, and Keddie folks may be of a different breed, however I don't appreciate the comments of the locals. "Typical BORING people?" "CRUMMY little ice cream and burger joint?" How DARE you come into our community exclaiming that we should have Halloween parties and charge admission for people to go into the Keddie Killer House. Innocent people were BRUTALLY slaughtered in that house, and it should NOTbe used as a tourist enticement. It has only been 21 years since the slayings of those poor people, and you should be ashamed of the way you have reported on the 'HAUNTED HOUSE.' It may be to your surprise, however, this is an extremely tight knit community who cared deeply for the Sharps. For those of us who have lived in Quincy, we will never forget these murders. And of course nobody wants pictures taken of a murder scene. If you are as morbid as you think you are, try going into the house in the dark, and let's
see how "JUICY" your photos can get. I am extremely appalled with your conduct and representation of the "REDNECKS" of Keddie.

Completely flabergasted,
[name removed]

I would like to know who this Grey Wolf is? Also where are you getting some of your information? You need to respect the family and the owners of Keddie Resort. No wonder nobody wants to buy the place when things like this come out. I do understand the right to free speech, but have a little respect.
