The Peters family was shot and killed in the house and the man who killed them burned the house down.They died November 5 1993. There is also an older man that lives in the town, the only resident. He as some rude signs that tell onlookers to stay away yet, the town does not belong to him so dont mind them. The main characters of this ghost town are the Peters family, names unknown.

The description for Lerado is fairly accurate. However, having lived there I could possibly help you out a little more. Yes the Peters family was murdered there. I was 3 years old when the murder happened. The  Father, Tim Peters,  His wife Deanna, and their two children Josh and Angela. Also the part about the man that lives there is true but it could possibly be wiser to take heed to his sign, its only referring to his property though. If you would like to know anything else just email me back.
