Some Swear This Kentucky Town Does Exist

Several years ago, there was a Hulu mini-series called 11.22.63. It was based on the a Stephen King novel and told the story of a man who goes back in time to prevent the Kennedy assassination. When he lands in 1963, he's in the fictional town of Holden KY.

A Fictional Kentucky Town Presented Very Realistically as a REAL Town

But Holden was PRESENTED as fictional. There's another town that was given a rich history by its creator, and folks have actually believed it DOES exist. I'm talking about Elsewhere, which is near the Kentucky Lake area. Of course, writing that feels weird since it doesn't exist. How can it be near ANYWHERE?

So, what's the deal with Elsewhere KY? I'll tell you what the deal is. Actually, Seamus Coffey--who has one of the best names ever--can do a better job of that. Coffey wrote a disturbing story and posted it on Reddit back in 2015. Fourriversexplorer.com offers this summary:

The Story of Elsewhere KY Was Written Documentary-Style

Coffey wrote it from a documentary-like point of view. It makes sense that people have believed that Elsewhere KY actually exists. The story is available to read here, but it does come with a language warning. Or you can hear it right here:

My favorite part just might be the mention of how it's been scrubbed from Google maps. Very nice touch. As for Halloween--or ANY time of the year you're in the mood for something creepy--this entire STORY is a nice touch.

Now, I'll sit back and wait for the movie; there really should be one.
