A night in hell house

Part 3 Chapter 2

It was a very long drive to caribou falls all the way northern part of Maine, literally a stone throw from the Canadian border.

I'm not going to bother going into detail about the conversations that took place on my way over all I do feel that I should mention that my mother insisted that she accompany me at the house what dr. Rand insisted that she stay at an inn and caribou falls.

He wasn't too happy about the idea of a stage mom at the house with us although to be honest I was actually quite happy that my mother was not going to come along this time. After I was growing up and I had to get out on my own at some point.

Professor Ambrose had told mother that she come and see us on the third day since that would win Dr Rand's assistant was going to deliver some food to us and pick up any notes that we have made time.

But enough about that...

When we finally reached the gate at the old house dr. Rand unlock the gate with an old rusty key and we drove on for about another half mile.

Finally through the dense fog I could see hell house for the first time.

Hell house with a huge Victorian mansion made mostly of red and grey bricks.

As I walked across the bridge led to the front door I look down under the bridge into the Tarn that surround the house, according to Professor Ambrose that time was supposed to hold the spirits of little babies who are the bastard children of Belasco that he is grounded in the Tarn. According to the diary of the second Mrs Belasco, 13 of Belasco's female guests all got pregnant and their children all ended up here.

As I look into the thick gray disgusting water I thought I saw some movement.

" what up son." Said dr. Graham, " we have to unload the truck." I heard back as we are unloaded the equipment including my spirit cabinet.

Dr. Carline, dr. Rand's assistant unload everything from the truck as all of us carried it up to the porch.

" it's got no eyes." He said as he looked at the house, " it's blind."

He was referring to the bricked up windows, according to Professor Ambrose, Belasco have bricked up the windows when an influenza struck the house and most of the guests got sick.

According to Rose Belasco's Diary, he have bricked up the walls because he claimed that the fog outside had called the plague some now but she was more under the impression that he wanted his guests to forget about the outside world.

Anyway if I was going to solve the mystery of Hell House, I had to learn everything that I could.

As dr. Rand unlock the front door of the house, I turned to grace Lauder, " miss Lauder," I said to her sound as polite as possible, " it's about Mr Wagner."

She was very intrigued, " yes Ben?"

" I was wondering, what exactly did he do? I know that he attacked miss Benson but did he rape her too?"

Grace looked down for a moment and then replied " yes he did. According to the reports, and strangled her while he was violating her body. I'm hoping that we can find the answer to what really happened here and clear Simon's name."

"I understand." I told her, "I'm so we can find out all the answers to what happened 9 years ago in this house."

I just talked to her and stepped inside the house I thought I saw a shadow moving around.

" this house knows that we are here." Grace continued as I stepped inside,

"Can you feel it Ben?"
