William Barker

**William "Billy" Barker** was a child who, in 1922, was given up by John Goode and was possessed by the Devil to which he then became one of Shadyside's many enigmatic killers.

## Biography

According to the newspaper clipping, Billy was a young child at the time of his possession. He was said to have had some form of deformity, which he chose to cover up with a doll mask.

One night, for unknown reasons, a member of the Goode family chose him to be a sacrifice to the Devil. Having been possessed, Billy proceeded to murder his brothers whilst they slept, bashing their heads in with a baseball bat, an event that was purportedly witnessed by a neighbor.

What happened to Billy after this is unknown, though he was presumably stopped.

56 years later, Billy became one of the many killers sent after Cindy Berman and Ziggy when they tried to reunite Sarah Fier's hand with her body, and disappeared (alongside the other former killers) after their deaths.

16 years later, again, Billy was one of the killers to be resurrected as Deena Johnson and her friends attempted to reunite Sarah Fier's hand with her body themselves. After they succeeded, Billy disappeared alongside the other killers.
