They entered into a living room which was cool, dark and mostly empty. The water stained ceiling and peeling wallpaper indicated that the house had either sat abandoned for some time or was managed by the worst slum lord in Hidden Rock..."
John Gervais's House
This small rental property is the home of John Gervais and his mother, Grace Gervais.

​The house is situated miles from Edgewater High School where John is enrolled as a junior. The driving time one way would be close to 45 minutes. It is unknown why John was enrolled at this school when the Hidden Rock High School would have been closer. 

Little is known about this dwelling except that it seems to date from the 1940s or 50s. It is located to the west of Hidden Rock outside of the city limits and was either partially abandoned or at poorly maintained in years past. The home is difficult to see from the road, being partly obscured by a large spruce tree. Most likely the home was originally used by a farming family.​

John and Grace have occupied this home since arriving in Hidden Rock. It contains very little furniture and all of the windows have been covered over with newspaper, as those the Gervaises are intentionally trying to keep others from seeing inside. The house has a small living room, a kitchen, pantry, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Grace occupies the master bedroom which is filled with new and expensive medical equipment. John sleeps in one of the smaller bedroom on a mattress on the floor.
  • The closest structure to the Gervais house is the abandoned farmhouse which is approximately one mile to the southwest.
Anti-Social or Hiding?
John and his mother share a rental home outside the city limits in a rural part of the county. But why? The house isn't located near anything in particular... and maybe that's the point. When Zac Dryden first visits their home, it's his impression that they're hiding from something... or someone.
