About:

The NEST is three different haunted attractions based on Jacob Kell and his actions and his victims. It is a totally interactive experiene produced by the producers of Alice Cooper’s nightmare. The Nest Haunted house is a journey through the barn that the psychotic Jacob Kell made his home. The patron will experience a room by room journey of a demon’ lair culminating with a trip over the bridge, through total darkness for a glimpse of the creatures for Kell revenge. Those who are brave can venture through the graveyard where he buried his beloved sister, “sissy.” Try to make it through a maze of fence symbolizing the messed up mind. And then challenged the CARNAGE, where Jacob performed most of his tortures. THE NEST is not for the faint of heart. It is a story that had to be told. An Arizona legend, that lives this year in Queen Creek.

History:

As legend has it, it is the gruesome tale of Arizona’s most notorious serial killer. A monster who casused more destruction than Winnier the Hudd and Charles Manson combined. It is the life of Jacob Kell, who in 1945 slaughtered an unprecedented 35 people before he was killed. Jacob kell was born slow but that was the least of his problems. Like his father before him Jacob also heard voices. These voices told him to do things…bad things. The voices drove his father to commit suicide when he couldn’t silence them. Jacob couldn’t silence the voices and was often seen by neighbors yelling and screaming at things that weren’t there. Jacob’s sister, “sissy “ Kell also heard the voices but unlike her brother she knew how to drown them out. She was also the only one who could calm Jacob down. After Jacob’s father died his mother married Otis Keller. Otis was an abusive drunk who forced Jacob to sleep in the barn outside thehouse often telling Jacob “only humans is allowed to sleep in the house!” Over the next two years Jacob made the barn into a home. At 15 Jacob stood over 6/’4’’ .. when Otis beat him he didn’t even flinch this made Otis extremely angry. One night in September 1945 Otis in a drunken rage chased sissy out of the house . He grabbed her by the arm and threw her on the ground. Her head snapped against a large rock. She died instantly. What Jacob did to Otis is unfit to be told. After killing Otis, Jacob took his sister’s body and waged a war against the society that shunned him. By the end 35 people were dead. It wasn’t until October 31, 1945 that Jacob was killed. Legend says that the voices told Jacob to bury his sister’s body in a graveyard behind the barn. And someday in the ultimate societal regevenge Jacob will come back from his grave. Now, 60 years the resurrection of a “killer kell” is upon us.
