THE LOBBY


The Homestead Bones
In 2019, surveyors near Lake Tawakoni uncovered shallow, unmarked graves—no headstones, no records, just silence and bones. The land was once a forgotten homestead, abandoned in the 1940s. The remains were never identified. Locals say the site was quietly fenced off, but the questions linger: Who were they burying—and why didn’t they want them found?

Until I saw the clearing.
