My family was recently featured on the television show The Dead Files. Our episode aired this past May. Although the show did a great job telling our story, it's more of a Cliff Note's version of what happened to us. There was so much more that didn't make the show. Our experiences that lead up to contacting the show were terrifying and heartbreaking. It left us drained emotionally and psychically. It is something that we are still recovering from. Part of our recovery, and a goal of ours, is to share our story with others. Our hope is that it will help one family come forward and get help. There are so many people out there that are too afraid to talk about what's happening to them for fear of being ridiculed or made fun of. No one should suffer in silence.
Lance Eberhardt and his family moved to the small rural town of Kearney Missouri 9 years ago and they currently live on a small horse ranch on 15 acres. Lance was attracted to the area because of the rich Western history, as it was the birth & burial site of the outlaw Jesse James as well as many others who lived or passed through the area. He & his wife, along with their 4 daughters thought that escaping the larger cities would be a better & safer place to live. However, that proved not to the case as unexplained things starting happening and escalated to the point of violence; attacking the family from all angles. Seeking help was hard as some didn't believe or were too scared to help. It wasn't until they sought the help from The Dead Files that they finally got control of their home and can finally live somewhat of a normal life.
