On November 22nd 1923 a Man and his Family who were very prominent figures on wall street, the elite 1%; were murdered in their mansion after a group of people tried robbing it thinking no one was home at the time. The man heard noises coming from downstairs so he ran down stairs to see the men and they shot and killed him. They then went through the house looking for the other members and killed the rest of his family. An investigation was placed on the house right away and detectives and police were looking for clues but after years of searching no traces or leads were ever found. The house was boarded up and remained vacant indefinitely. Some people set out to explore the mega mansion. Some say it's haunted, some say its homeless people or squatters, but no one really knows what's wrong nor what really happened that day other than just what the investigation said which some testify that it was forged or false to hide something. 

6:00 am December 23rd, 2023 I woke up in bed thinking about that house ever since I saw it on the news about people seeing and hearing strange things at night as they go by and near the house. I knew I had to explore it and see what it was really about, so I drove up to Walmart to buy some gear. I buy a large duffle bag, Cameras, mics and recording equipment, food, water, sleeping bag, and candles. I get ready for the search. I decided to bring a gun with me just in case of wild animals and if there were people in the house who aren't fond of strangers. 

10:00 pm I get myself ready for the drive . I decided to bring my friend with me as he also wants to see what's inside. I grab all my things, walk out the door, and start driving . It almost felt like time travel because it went by so fast I don't even remember the drive. I walk up to the House and it's big like its own zip code . The house used to be a beautiful white siding and oak wood mansion, now it's stained yellow and brown. We walk up to the massive french doors and break off the giant padlock. All the old air from the house hit us and it smelled like an old book. We turn on our cameras and flashlights and start walking through the house. We passed the double spiral staircase that greeted us at the entrance. We start walking towards the kitchen and my friend says “dude this place is massive”, I agree with a “i know”. 

2:00 am  Christmas eve We’ve explored not even a quarter of the house so far and we haven seen nor heard anything but the house moving and creaking and a rat or 2 running across the floor, but as we start walking into the basement our cameras die, which killed the flash lights lucky I brought candles. I flick the lighter on and it ignites the candle in an orange reddish flame lighting up the staircase leading to the basement. As we start walking through we hear a loud bang like someone smacked the basement windows and we thought we saw a black figure run past it. “Dude what was that?” my friend asked with fear in his eyes. I don't know what it was but I just told him “it was probably a bird or animal that ran into it or the wind” as it was starting to storm. We start walking and we get into the cellar and freezer area. We see hooks of old decaying meat hanging from the ceiling. The smell is horrible. We skipped it but then the cellar door in front of us slams shut like it was trying to keep us out. We ran as fast as possible up the stars. We are about to leave but I tell myself “I gotta know what's in there”. I convinced my friend to go back down there . We went back in the house and down the stairs into the cellar. The door was open. “I thought the door was shut.” I asked “it was” my friend said we walked in and saw all the decaying meat and the cellar was big. We see metal cabinets and draws near it filled with butcher tools. The door in the cellar slammed again locking us in. At this point we are freaking out as we for sure this time saw a figure run by it so fast it was like blur. It was tall and dark and we started looking for a way out. We saw another set of stars in the house leading up to another part of the house. This time we are in the garage. All we can hear is the sound of rain hitting the garage. We start wandering around again and we stubble into the massive indoor pool. The water was green and filled with algae and I heard a whistle in the air and turned around to look at the glass roof and nothing there. I turn back around and see the bodies of the family members floating in the pool face down. I tensed up and froze and when I blinked they were gone I asked my friend if he saw it and he said “saw what”. I think of it as just imagination and we walk on but this time it's 4:36 am we walk into the cleanest room we can find which is a walking closet in the master bedroom. It's timeless like nothing happened. We set up camp and fall asleep. After about 3 hours of sleeping we are awoken by the sound of someone sprinting up the stairs. We jump out of bed and grab our gun to investigate but we see nothing and hear nothing like it stopped dead in its tracks.

8:30 am we open the snack bag of food we packed and start eating. We each had 1 MRE  as we are avid campers and are used to it and we try to get our cameras to turn back on to see if we ever caught anything. We let them charge up and they power on. We see that it was almost like the memory card was wiped. Nothing was on it. We set out to explore more of the house. At this point we've explored about 75% of it. Our next room is the attic we walk up and pull on the pull out staircase dust flies everywhere and we start choking and coughing when we get up there is almost pitch black so we get out our flashlights when we turn it on the dead family of the house was standing in front of us we freak out but then it just disappears like we were seeing things “ dude im starting to freak out” my friend said “yea” i responded. We keep walking through and things get worse and worse. We again saw a figure beating on the window like we did in the basement and cellar of the house. Then we started hearing screaming and yelling, the final straw was when something bolted at us and knocked us over. As we are running out the house and down the stairs it sounds like something is chasing us. We take quick glances behind us and see nothing, as we start smelling wood burning and we start seeing smoke we run even faster out the house and we finally get to the car and bolt out as the house is on fire and burning down we hear faint sirens in the distance as police and firefighters start to pull in to take out the fire but they never were able to and the house burned down to ash from time to time i think about what was lurking in the house or why we kept seeing things but  i'll never know .“ who or what was in the house but whatever it was died with it”
