Edward Farrior, Kenansville, NC... Another Familicide, Just 4 years and 8 Months After The Charlie Lawson Family Tragedy...
Edward A.Farrior, 70, retired real estate operator, shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Elsa Houston Farrior, 50, and her 12-year-old son, Lewis Cass Houston, shooting both in the head with a shotgun, and then ended his own life with a pistol bullet. Duplin county officers said they believed Farrior, widely known in this region as a land-owner, committed the acts under the influence of a derangement.
A step daughter, Margaret Houston, 15, and the couple's son, Abraham Farrior, 7, survived. A story passed down says the step daughter was away, and came home to find the massacre. Abraham was said to be present at the time of the killings...
Ever since, the house at 161 Best Road in Kenansville has been said to be haunted. One legend, obviously false was that the deranged old farmer slaughtered them with an axe. We know everyone died from gunfire.
I have not been able to find out what sort of paranormal activity is reported, or which of the family members is supposed to haunt the location (one, two, or all?). I also do not know if the house itself is occupied now or not, though it stood empty for years, building up its legend. If anyone knows any of the ghost stories associated with this historical incident, please let us know. Also would like photos of the house if anyone has them... Thanks much...

The house is not occupied anymore. It has been empty since Margaret (the serving daughter) passed away in 1998. It looks a little run down and very dreary.

I live hours away, and am disabled now, and can't get about. Tiffany, a girl from the area was supposed to get some, but never has...
