Behind The Door

The Disappearance

(Twelve-year-old Jacob Evans went missing around 2 A.M. the night after Halloween in Columbus, Ohio, last seen with one of his friends, twelve-year-old Freddy Black. This is what Freddy Black confirms happened to Jacob Evans.)

QUESTION #1: Where were you on this night?

"I was trick-or-treating with him, it was when the night was almost over, kids were getting home, but me and Jacob wanted to find more candy. So we continued looking around for houses that were still passing out candy, and we couldn't find any, except for this one regular looking house that had lights on."

QUESTION #2: "Was there anything strange about this particular house?"

"Nothing that I found weird or nerved about, no, except for the fact that there was an empty bowl on the porch that had a small note inside. Me and Jacob read the note, it said 'Want more candy? Come Inside.' I knew something was off, but Jacob wanted more candy and tried to open the door, but it appeared locked. I checked for cars or a sign of any police nearby, surprise there wasn't any, but I didn't want to get caught because of him. He tried to slam himself at the door, and of course, the door finally opened. He broke the lock. I tried to tell him that we should go and eat whatever we had of our candy, but Jacob ignored me and tried to scout over the house for some candy. This wasn't like Jacob at all, he was just acting strange. Every time I tried to get him to leave out of the house with me, he'd just growl at me and threatening me. He was freaking me the (CENSORED) out. Sorry for the language, sir, but he was freaking me out. I also tried to mention this to him, but I never spoke of it to him. I tried to tell him this, but he never listened to me at all."

QUESTION #3: "And what did you try to tell him?"

". . . the house . . . it . . . it was for sale. Nobody lived there . . ."

QUESTION #4: "Did Jacob notice this when he approached this house?"

"No, he didn't. I did, however, but when I tried to talk him out of it, he never listened to me at all. Something changed in him, I just know it!"

QUESTION #5: "Before you can tell us why you think that, could you tell us more about what happened next after you went in the house with him?"

"Sure . . . he started looking through the bedrooms, the cabinets, the refridgerator, and even the bathrooms. He even looked down in the basement for some candy, but I didn't go down there with him, because of how dark it was down there. He went down there without turning on the lights, which was the weird thing. I known Jacob since we both were in kindergarten, he was afraid of the dark, and always slept with the lights on. He just ran down the stairs without stopping to turn on the lights, he went to search in the dark. I was oddly weirded out and scared. He came back up a few minutes later, saying he didn't find any, although the lights were off. Jacob then told me there was one more room he didn't check, and it was another room in the upstairs hallway. It seemed like he skipped this room on accident, but without hesitation, as he ran up the stairs, he immediately grasped the door knob and twisted it. He opened the door, and this was where I felt like Jacob was losing his mind. It was another dark room. I couldn't even tell what room it was, but it was definitely dark. Jacob tried to search for a lightswitch, but he said there wasn't one. And another thing he said that freaked me out more . . ."

QUESTION #6: "What did he say?"

". . . look, can this be over please? I can't take it, just telling you about this whole situation anymore! PLEASE! CAN YOU JUST END THE INTERVIEW??"

"Not until all of our questions are answered. This is very important, Fred. You need to tell us what he said to you. So just calm down, take a deep breath, and whenever you feel comfortable, tell us what he said."
