He stopped his car right in front of the two-story mansion that looked dilapidated and abandoned. Then, he turned off his car lights and took his bag from the passenger seat, took out his iPad and turned it on. The website related to the dilapidated and abandoned mansion in front of him opened. Before he came to this area that was rumored to be very mystical, he had first done some research about this area and including the mansion in front of him.
Various myths and stories about the old mansion on the internet. Most of the stories are taken from previous stories and stories experienced by the website owner himself. According to the sources he obtained, the old mansion in front of him is currently built on land that should not be. This area is said to be an area for ancient people who practiced black magic to cast out their spirit and demon. A bit cliché, but not impossible to happen.
Apart from that, there is also a story that relates Kalen Doss who was hanged to death in 2002 after being convicted of murdering a man with the rank of CEO in the mansion. And the body of the man with the rank of CEO was found buried around the same mansion. It is said that the murder was done because he wanted to fulfill the requirements of a black magic ritual that was practiced by Kalen Doss.
Those are all just stories that no one can verify. However, 10 years ago 6 teenagers were brutally murdered in this mansion. The murder occurred two years after Kalen Doss was hanged. The case was closed because after several years of investigation, the police still did not find any clue as to who the real killer was. Until now, the killer in the case has still not been traced and the case continues to be silent. The police also cannot find the real killer.
There are rumors that the killer is not a human, but rather a demon who is being defended by Kalen Doss who is trapped in the mansion. The demon or perhaps the spirit needs a human life to be free. But, that is just a rumor. No one can prove the truth.
He repeatedly looked at the picture of the mansion on his iPad screen with the mansion in front of him. He wanted to make sure that he was now in front of the mansion that his best friend, Alex, was referring to.
The car engine was turned off and he took out the video camera he had brought with him. Tonight, he wanted to investigate for himself whether the old mansion was really haunted as the internet had claimed or whether it was just a myth and rumor.
The car door was locked and the video camera in his hand was turned on and started recording what was in front of him. The video camera settings were changed to night settings. The light on the front of the video camera turned on brightly, shining forward.
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Although he wasn't afraid of ghosts and mystical creatures, being alone in a dark place and far from anyone still caused a pounding in his chest. He was worried that an animal or someone with malicious intent would attack him.
Steps were arranged to enter the area inside the mansion. The small open iron gate was pushed slightly to the left, opening up space for his body to enter the mansion courtyard area.
The lens of the video camera in his hand was pointed towards the veranda. The steps began to be arranged inside guided by the video camera screen. The sound of crickets and birds chirping each other. The eerie night atmosphere was eerie. The sound of frogs was heard not far from there. The barking of a dog was also heard moving away from an uncertain direction.
The steps continued to the veranda. Two pillars with Roman carvings served as the pillars of the mansion's veranda. There was a red areca tree on the edge of the veranda.
The mansion was pitch black. The light on his video camera kept shining towards the doorless entrance. From the main entrance of the mansion he could see straight towards the spiral staircase to the upper level. Hesitantly he stepped inside.
The screen of his video camera kept looking and its lens kept pointing around the mansion. For a moment, he felt awestruck by the situation in the old mansion. He was sure he was in the middle of the main room right now. The situation in the mansion was indeed spacious.
If earlier he walked guided by the screen of his video camera, this time he walked guided by the light from his video camera.
Skreekk!!!
The sound was like the friction of shoes on the thick cement floor with dust and sand distracting his focus. He quickly turned towards the sound without aiming the video camera in his hand. The sound came from the direction of the veranda!
Unknowingly, his camera lens pointing towards the spiral staircase to the upper level had shown something. Clearly visible on the video camera screen, a figure in a bloody black robe was sitting on one of the steps. It looked like a human figure! There were two red lights burning at the top like eyes. Staring sharply towards the camera lens.
He turned back to face the front after making sure there was no one on the balcony. He looked at the camera screen. All he saw was an image of the stairs.
Steps were arranged towards a space that seemed to be a separate room on the right of the mansion. All the doors in this mansion did not have door leaves. It was true what he had read on the internet before. The project to build this mansion was abandoned before it could be fully completed.
The spiral staircase to the upper level also appears to have no railings on the left and right, and has not yet been plastered. This further adds to the belief that this mansion was abandoned before it was completed.
He looked at the floor of the central hall of the mansion. The floor where he was standing was where one of the victims of the horrific murder that had occurred in this mansion 10 years ago was found.
He wandered around the upper and lower levels for almost five minutes, but he still didn't see or feel anything.
They say this mansion has a ghost. Didn't anyone see anything? He asked himself as he recorded the rather large yard at the back of the mansion.
He didn't see anything strange. All he could see from there was the back gate.
He had always wanted to experience being haunted and seeing ghosts. But until now, he had never experienced any of that. This mansion, which was said to be haunted, didn't offer anything he wanted to see.
The camera was turned off and the screen was closed. It wasn't that he had given up on recording, he just wanted to save the battery power of his video camera. The upper floor had not yet been investigated. Steps were arranged to the middle room of the mansion. From the middle room he could see the upper room.
The flashlight inside his denim jacket was taken out and turned on. He shone it in the surrounding area. His feet continued to climb the spiraling stairs upwards.
Without realizing it, the creature that was sitting on the stairs was seen standing in front of the main entrance of the mansion and looking in his direction.
Reaching the top, he stepped into each room until he was stunned to see the courtyard on the second floor. There was a swimming pool in the middle of the courtyard. There were also areca palms planted in the corners of this courtyard, the floor of which was slightly higher than the floor of the swimming pool.
Unfortunately, the water in the swimming pool is quite explosive. The yard on the left and right is overgrown with bushes and weeds that have grown tall. Even the areca tree that is there seems to be growing reluctantly.
The flashlight was turned off and put into the pocket of his denim jacket. The video camera was taken out again, he recorded the situation around the site at the top. Nothing could be recorded other than the site being quite deserted. There were also visible areca nut fronds and areca nut fruits on the surface of the water in the swimming pool.
A moment later, he turned towards the inside of the mansion. At this moment, something seemed to be emerging from the swimming pool without him noticing. He recorded what was on that level for a moment before sighing in frustration because this mansion wasn't as scary as it was described.
I'm wasting my time here, he complained. The flashlight in his jacket pocket was taken out. He started to walk towards the stairs. However, before he could even walk far, he suddenly felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing on his cheeks. Suddenly his steps stopped. His body froze. He could feel something on his left side.
The body that had not felt anything before continued to shiver. Saliva was swallowed roughly. He quickly turned his light to the left. Only the walls of the room could be seen. He looked at the situation on his left, confused.
Is he just trying to tease me? His heart wondered. He looked at the situation to his left, confused. A few seconds later, he looked back ahead. He looked again when the flashlight's light illuminated something in front of him! His saliva felt painful to swallow.
Clearly, his flashlight had illuminated a figure in a bloody black robe covering almost the entire body including the head! Slowly he moved the flashlight upwards while shining it towards the creature's head which had horns like mouflon horns. Clearly the creature's eyes were glowing red staring at him.
A few seconds later, the creature grinned and roared loudly revealing its sharp fangs. A moment later, the creature pounced on him.
"Argh!!!" he screamed as loud as he could without being able to avoid it.
