Wes’s Interview with Miss Martha about THE BOY IN THE CORNER (Part 1)…

Coop here, In Wes’s previous interview with the homeless boy, Chris, he mentioned his intention to find and interview “Miss Martha” as a possible resource to help uncover these urban legends. Hunting specifically for that interview, I finally found it hidden away in a CD-ROM file (no thanks to Wes’s lousy organization/file labeling skills). I’ve [...]

The Riddle of “The Man Behind the Door”…

Speaking of riddles (in the next to last post), I found this riddle that fell out of a folder in Wes’s files.  It immediately drew my attention because it was written on a cocktail napkin.  I did some searching and it looks like France could be the origin of this particular riddle.  Try to solve it [...]

THE THING IN THE CORNER short film and more…

Found the link to this video in Wes’s notes.  It’s a short film titled “The Thing in the Corner”.  It’s pretty cheesy but Wes had it listed as possibly influenced by “The Boy in the Corner” and “The Man Behind the Door” legends… More info on the movie HERE He also included another link to a [...]

BIZARRE POEM?…

Within Wes’s notes I found what looks like a poem, possibly translated from another language.  I’m coming across some vague references to the “Vile Enigma” and “Yohtorozu” but my research isn’t uncovering much on either.  When I entered the search terms “Vile” together with “Enigma”, I discovered this forum about “vile vortices”.  The only thing [...]

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT WES COTTEN…

Coop here again, Pardon me for getting personal here, but I’ve had a few emails from site visitors asking how I know Wes Cotten.  Not sure if these guys are friends or family but I encourage them to contact me again if they are (wescotten@live.com).  As for my relationship with Wes, that’s a valid request [...]

The Boy in the Corner: Legend revealed (Part 2)

Wes’s interview with Chris (Part 2) —Coop here again… I get the impression that Wes fully intended to post the rest of this interview, so I’m doing it for him. I’m merely breaking the surface of whatever research he was conducting and I gotta say he was right. “Spooky” doesn’t cover it. He’s got hundreds [...]

WHERE IS WES COTTEN?

Coop Cooper here from The Small Town Critic website.

I now have access to Wes’s blog that he created over a year ago and suddenly stopped using. The reason being that Wes Cotten has been missing since at least June of 2009. The Memphis Police Department has released some of Wes’s personal effects to me since they are having trouble locating surviving relatives and some of the documents investigated by the police list me as an emergency contact. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen Wes myself in well over a year.

Apparently the police only recently started investigating Wes’s disappearance due to the fact that no one came forth to declare him missing. His elderly landlady, folks at his volunteer job and friends at his paid job thought he had simply left town or eloped with his girlfriend, Sarah Reynolds… who is also missing.

This is a long shot, but if anyone knows any information, please contact me through Wes’s old email address: wescotten@live.com

Although the police couldn’t make much sense of it, I will be going through Wes’s things to see if there is anything that can help locate him. If I find anything of interest (for any friends out there who may be worried about him), I will post it here.

Let’s pray that Wes and Sarah are on an island beach somewhere starting a new life and having a blast.

Thanks,

-Coop
