Buzzfeed Unsloved: A Case of Their Own

Chapter 1: Pittock Mansion

"Ryan I'm not saying that supernatural is terrible, but true crime has it's roots firmly in fact'

"So you're saying that all of the witnesses that have experienced these strange phenomenon are all lying" Ryan retorted, obviously agitated "maybe if you had more belief then the ghosts would show themselves!"

"They are't Peter Pan, Ryan" Shane looked down at his companion, and started to laugh. "just a bit of pixie dust and they'll appear" Shane was now in hysterics.

"shut up Shane" Ryan turned to the camera "Hello and on this weeks episode of buzzed unsolved we are at the Pittock Mansion in Portland, Oregon, asking the question; are ghosts real? Shane began shaking his head at the camera. 

"The house was built back in the early 20th century by a couple named the Pittocks, who are said to have remained in the house, people have reported smelling roses which were Geogiana's favourite flower and a portrait of Henry moving on its own."

"The painting changes?" Shane asked bewildered.

"No, it changes location in the house" Shane began laughing hysterically again.

"anyone could be doing that; it doesn't prove anything. I bet theres just one worker getting a kick every time they move it and all the others shit themselves."

"sounds pretty creepy if you ask me" Ryan said defensively.

"you would say that. This place is probably the least scary place we've visited yet!" 

"Just you wait!" Shane scoffed and the two boys headed into the front doors of the bold looming mansion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is the place where the painting of Henry Pittock currently resides, what a creepy painting."

"Creepy? He's just having a good old time playing in the garden"

"You won't be saying that when he decapitates you. It's the eyes, they follow you" Ryan replies, never once taking his eyes from the painting. Shane shuffles from one side of the painting to the other and stops.

"I mean don't all paintings do that? Shane asked puzzled "I think this would be a good room to try and make contact, I'll leave you here for a couple of minutes.

"Oh god!" breathed Ryan. "Fine, but if he decapitates me..."

"I'll avenge your death" Shane jokes. With one last sultry stare Shane leaves the room with the teams cameraman, leaving Ryan on his own.

Shane stands outside the door.

"He's gonna be shitting himself" Shane gives a little laugh to the camera before checking his watch. "one minute left Ryan" Ryan can be heard muffled from behind the door.

"I'll stop talking now, feel free to speak though." Everything went silent, Shane looked at his watch and whispered the countdown to the audience.

"4..3..2..1..Ryan your times up" Shane and TJ the cameraman stood in silence "Ryan?" Shane slowly opened the door and glared in. "Ryan you coming out or what?" the floorboards creaked as Shane made his way to the centre of the room. "Stop trying to freak me out Ryan It's not gonna work." The statement was followed by an eerie silence. As Shane looked around the room he could see that Ryan wasn't hiding; there was no where to hide, in this room there were only a few old wooden chairs with a table that was pushed against a wall, a window that could not be opened and the old painting.

Shane stopped dead in his tracks and motioned for TJ to do the same.

We better call the police, I think Ryan has actually gone missing!
