Department: Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, Maine

Case #: 25-48812

Date/Time of Report: October 14, 2025 – 02:37 A.M.

Reporting Officer: Det. Sgt. Laura Kent (Badge #4711)

Incident Type: Disturbance / Possible Homicide / Unclassified Phenomenon

Location: 11 Barrow Point Road, Owls Head, ME

SUMMARY:

At approximately 00:41 hours, Rockland County Dispatch received a 911 call originating from landline (unregistered, no subscriber found in databases) at residence 11 Barrow Point Road. Caller provided no verbal information. A recorded line captured the sound of labored breathing, muffled crying, and a repeated word: “underneath.”

Patrol units were dispatched. Upon arrival, officers encountered evidence consistent with a violent struggle, as well as conditions that cannot be explained under known physical laws. This report documents all observations, witness statements, and physical evidence collected as of this writing.

ARRIVAL ON SCENE:

Deputies M. Rourke and T. Jeffries arrived on scene at 00:54 hours. The property appeared abandoned: windows dark, front door ajar, no vehicle in driveway. Exterior presented as a two-story shingle house, circa 1900, in significant disrepair.

Upon entry:

Strong odor of brine and decomposition detected.

Interior temperature noted at ~42°F despite functional heating system (thermostat set to 70°F).

Living room contained heavy furniture overturned, deep gouges across hardwood flooring, and a dark residue later confirmed to be human blood (type O-negative).

WITNESS STATEMENT:

At 01:03 hours, deputies located a witness on scene: Child, female, approx. 10 years of age, later identified as unmatched in any school, missing persons, or state registry. The child was discovered crouched inside a hall closet, uninjured, clutching an antique porcelain doll.

Statement recorded (abridged, verbatim excerpts):

“It’s not supposed to be open. Daddy said the boards would hold. But the boards didn’t hold. I heard them crack in the night. Then the whispering started, under the floor. They came up through the slats. They pulled him down. They keep pulling.”

Attempts to clarify “they” resulted in distress. Child was transported to Pen Bay Medical Center for evaluation.

DISCOVERY OF VICTIMS:

Kitchen:

Victim #1 (Adult Male, approx. 40–50 yrs). Remains located partially embedded into the kitchen floorboards. From waist upward visible; torso intact but skin marbled with blue-green discoloration. Lower extremities appeared fused with the floor structure itself, as if absorbed. Eyes open, pupils dilated. No pulse.

Victim’s right arm extended above head in gesture resembling defensive posture. Fingernails broken, traces of wood splinters under nails.

Second Floor Master Bedroom:

Victim #2 (Adult Female, approx. 30–40 yrs). Located on ceiling plane. Body adhered flush to plaster overhead, supine. Blood pooled downward in trails but defied gravity in certain areas, flowing upward to the ceiling junction. Extensive contortions of limbs noted, consistent with postmortem placement, not livor mortis.

Basement:

Victim #3 (Identity indeterminate, approx. 5–7 yrs). Only partial remains: lower half of body present. Severed above diaphragm by means not consistent with blade, saw, or tearing. Flesh smooth, cauterized-like surface. Missing upper half unaccounted for.

ANOMALOUS CONDITIONS:

Throughout search, officers reported auditory phenomena: indistinct whispering localized beneath flooring. No recording devices captured audio.

Watches and body cameras experienced battery drainage within 10–15 minutes of entry.

Floorboards in hallway buckled intermittently, rising and falling in waves (like respiration). No seismic activity reported in region.

Deputy Rourke reported sensation of “grip” on right ankle while descending basement stairs. Visual inspection revealed no assailant. He presented with five small, circular bruises around ankle consistent with human fingers, though pressure required would exceed adult male hand strength by estimated 3–4x.

EVIDENCE COLLECTED:

Porcelain doll carried by witness. (Hairline cracks along face; whispers reportedly audible when doll was in proximity to floor.)

Splinter fragments from kitchen floorboards containing human DNA and trace of unknown protein compound (lab pending).

Photograph sequence of ceiling-bound victim (several frames corrupted; distortions show elongated figures not present at scene).

Audio capture from initial 911 call (includes whisper “underneath” repeated 17 times).

INVESTIGATIVE NOTES:

Property records indicate residence abandoned since 1978 following unexplained disappearance of the Barrow family. Several urban legends in local community describe the house as “hollow underneath.”

No landline service registered to address in past 25 years; phone cord found cut behind wall. Still, call originated from this address.

Forensic pathologist Dr. H. Latham (Pen Bay Medical Examiner) unable to assign cause of death to any victims. Report states: “Tissue demonstrates properties inconsistent with known decomposition. Cellular walls collapsed inward, as if pressure exerted from void rather than environment.”

INCIDENT ESCALATION:

At 02:15 hours, while evidence team prepared removal of Victim #1, floorboards surrounding body collapsed. A void beneath was exposed, appearing far deeper than foundation. Flashlights failed to illuminate bottom; beam dissipated after approx. 6 ft.

From void, heavy air pressure change noted, drawing in surrounding oxygen. Multiple personnel reported muffled screaming rising from below, identifiable as adult male voice repeating: “Help me, I’m not dead.”

At this point, Victim #1’s arm (previously rigid) moved, fingers curling toward deputies. Several officers restrained one another from attempting extraction. Within 30 seconds, floorboards reconstituted themselves, shifting back into seamless, unbroken wood. Victim #1 no longer visible. Blood evidence at scene reduced by ~60%.

OFFICER STATEMENTS:

Deputy Jeffries: “I swear I saw him move. He was reaching. His mouth was open. He mouthed my name.”

Forensics Tech Alvarez: “The boards sealed themselves. I watched them knit together like muscle. This is not… physical reality as we know it.”

Sgt. Kent (self): Personal note—severe vertigo experienced during void event. Smell of seawater overwhelming. Still lingering in clothing.

FOLLOW-UP:

At 02:37 hours, command determined scene unsafe. Personnel withdrawn. Residence secured with police tape, though recommendation submitted to not re-enter without specialized hazard team.

Child witness currently under psychiatric observation. During transport, repeated phrase: “It’s following you now.”

ADDENDUM – VIDEO FILE #4711-BODYCAM:

Review of Sgt. Kent’s body camera revealed final 11 seconds before battery drain:

Angle shows floorboards beginning to reform.

Whispering grows louder; transcript analysis identifies multiple voices speaking in unison: “Not beneath. Behind.”

Last frame before power loss depicts a pale hand—six digits visible—emerging briefly from Kent’s shoulder area, though no one was behind her at the time.

STATUS:

Case classified as OPEN / ACTIVE INVESTIGATION.

Federal authorities notified (FBI Special Case Taskforce “Anomalous Phenomena”).

Property sealed pending further analysis.
