* AmbiguousEnding: Most of the mystery is left unsolved as it's written by someone who recalls what they read about it and ends with their intent to go to Moorefield and investigate the truth. It's left unknown what caused the deaths of more citizens after the original killer, Joseph Banks, was caught, or what Harold Baker, was doing inside a scarecrow like the hidden corpses were if he was the one who "continued Banks' work".
* BodyInABreadbox: The bodies hidden within the farm that weren't found would be discovered later inside the increasing amount of scarecrows.
* CornyNebraska: Moorefield, Nebraska, is the small town the murders happen in, and the one who confessed to it all after several bodies were found hidden in his farm is Joseph Banks. During their 2nd police raid there, they find the other bodies hidden inside the scarecrows, having cleared 18 of them from 35 acres of corn field.
* DeathbedConfession: Harold Barker, the town handyman, was the only one alive (but barely) that was found inside a scarecrow. His critical condition made him pass away 3 days later, but not before he confesses that he "continued Banks' work." Besides Joseph Banks being arrested earlier for several murders, it's unclear what "Banks' work" really means, and what that had to do with him being in a scarecrow (as those were hiding places for the victim's bodies).
* ScaryScarecrows: It is hinted that there is more to the scarecrows than meets the eye once the murderous Joseph Banks says, "Beware the fields. They watch it. They will finish my work." More and more scarecrows appear in his corn field during his absence. In the 2nd police raid on the farm, they find the scarecrows to stink of decaying flesh and discover that several bodies were hidden in them. The only living victim claims that he's "continuing Banks' work," whatever that means. The protagonist intends to pry deeper by moving to the town where it happened, resolving the story with, until the truth is found, they're not trusting another scarecrow.
* TownWithADarkSecret: Even after the farmer responsible for most of Moorefield's murders is jailed, more people kept disappearing, and then several bodies are found within scarecrows. The protagonist thinks "it almost seems like people wanted this to disappear" because there is so little information about the events and the town itself. There was one time where he wanted to show a website article about the murders to his father, but it vanished.

"[[https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/The_Scarecrow_Murders The Scarecrow Murders]]" is a very short creepypasta by [[https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/User:HoodQuest HoodQuest]]. Its main inspiration was Stephen King's ''Literature/ChildrenOfTheCorn''.
The events being relayed by the protagonist took place in the almost unheard-of town of Moorefield, Nebraska. Its small population was threatened with murders over the course of 14 years. However, not even the killer's imprisonment stopped people from disappearing. He did forebode that his scarecrows will continue the job for him...
Not to be confused with the r/nosleep [[Literature/TheScarecrowMurdersGrandTheftMotto story of the same name]].
