Statek Pohádka (Fairy Tale Farmhouse)

The Christhof farmhouse is located in the south of the Czech Republic near the village of Čachrov. It was named the Fairy Tale Farmhouse for the beautiful Šumava landscape that’s surrounds it. Upon visiting the place, Czechmag.cz can confirm the creepiness of the abandoned building. Its crazy past has intrigued many visitors as well as experts on paranormal activity.

It was build it in the 16th century by a German family. While the family was alive, they lived orderly lives and there were no unusual happenings. However, due to the Beneš Decrees, the family was forced to leave the Czech Republic in 1947.

Today the farmhouse stands alone; the locals avoid it and there are dead animals rotting in the area – it is burned out and falling apart. The farmhouse was made famous by serial killer Ivan Roubal, who died serving a life sentence in 2015. Ivan moved there in 1991 to breed deer, however he failed to obtain the necessary permits. Instead he began raising Vietnamese pigs, to whom he fed his human victims.

Between 1991 and 1994, Ivan supposedly killed seven people, however only five murders were proven. Some of the victims were lured there to warm up by the fireplace, others were killed in their houses. Following these murders, Ivan would burglarize their homes. In 2000, Ivan was sentence to life in a prison in Mírov.

A few years ago, two families tried to spent the night at the Fairy Tale Farmhouse. One of the families couldn’t stand being there and left at midnight, which saved their lives. The second family wasn’t so lucky – within a year they all died, some by drowning and the others in a car accident.
