The town was founded on September 20th or 21st, and the sacrifices happen on the 23rd. You can figure that out with a tombstone in the cemetery.Mantorok wrote:I guess the sacrifices must have taken place a few years after the town was founded then.

that's just what you think. i still believe the first sacrifices took place in '53. waiting years with that doesn't seem plausible to me.
still it proves that the celebration was in 2003 and the founding was in 1853. Sorry, if this was directed to war machine.The celebration may have only occurred on the 20th & 21st b/c of the weekend.

Judging from game text and audio files we can be quite sure. Yes, it was not included to final version, it's not canon, but still...
Wheeler: «You've been gone a while. So I'll assume you don't know squat. This all started a few years back. Probably just around the time you left. This damn fog rolled in, and the town started to fall apart. The clocks stopped, people starting disappearing... Your brother was one of the first to go missing. It took quite a toll on your mother, I'm afraid. But a lot of other kids disappeared too. Dr. Fitch's daughter and... *huff* there's been a lot».
Judging from game text file we can even figure out the exact dates of sacrifices:
«Beneath these stones are lay the mortal remains of Ann Holloway. Died September 21st at 17 years of age».
«Sacred to the memory of Daniel Shepherd, son of Isaac Shepherd. Died September 23rd at 5 years of age».
«Helen Bartlett daughter of Mr. Mason Bartlett Died September 26th at 2 years of age».
«Erected by Cornelius Fitch to the memory of Theodore his son who departed this world September 29th at 9 years of age».
So they found Shepherd's Glen at September 20/21, 1853, killed the first child at September 21 and continued murdering till September 29.
That makes sense to me.
