I'm Jordan.
How many times have you regretted doing something, but for a reason you didn't expect at all?
When this story started I had a thought in the back of my mind that this was not gonna
end well…
Anyway, listen up.
I live in a pretty small town in Tennessee.
There's not too much going on, so growing up my friends and I had to entertain ourselves.
The town itself is a quiet, safe place, so we had no problem exploring different parts
of it after school or… instead of school.
There were several spots that we particularly liked.
Like an old cemetery that seemed creepy at first but over time turned out to be a really
nice place to hang out.
And among all the stuff we've seen, there was one place that we never had the courage
to visit.
It's a deserted mansion at the end of Lincoln Street.
That area used be a nice suburb years ago, but then a lot of people moved out and I don't
really know why.
In fact, no one knows.
Now it's the most depressing part of our town, and there are lots of creepy stories
surrounding the mansion.
When I say "we" I mean the three of us: Felix, Jason and myself.
We have this inside joke that if we were horror movie characters Felix would we the weird
one, Jason – the funny one, and I'd be the guy who dies first.
So we wouldn't even dare approach the mansion, until we discovered this whole genre of videos,
where people take a camera and break into an abandoned house to explore it.
This is pretty dangerous, so I'm not sure what we were thinking… but we finally decided
to give the Lincoln Street mansion a try.
With a camera.
It took us some time to prepare.
Each of us had some money from savings that we pooled so we could afford a GoPro to make
the video look awesome.
Four days after the idea crossed our minds, we were standing at the end of Lincoln Street
prepared for everything.
Like again, the house is just huge.
Four stories and probably a hundred rooms overall.
And the closer we got, the more gloomy it looked.
Like the house itself did not want to be disturbed.
That feeling freaked me out a little bit, but Felix and Jason were all pumped and excited,
and I did not want to be the only one to turn back.
So I was chosen to put on the GoPro.
As we approached the mansion, we saw that all of the first floor windows had been nailed
shut, so we had to use a tree to get into a window on the second floor, some of them
didn't even have glass anymore.
Another bad sign was that the tree branch we used to get in, which seemed 100 percent
reliable, started cracking when Jason climbed on it and he managed to jump into the window
at the last moment before it broke.
Now we were finally inside.
The rooms all turned out to be almost empty – I guess the people who left the house
took most of the furniture with them.
But some was still there.
We were walking slowly through the rooms with a flashlight – with me turning my head around
all the time to capture it all on camera.
So when we entered another room and I turned my head again…
I screamed with fright.
For a moment I saw something moving in the corner!
Of course at that very second I was sure it was a ghost, the living dead or, I don't
know, a vampire.
But it was just a mirror, and the moving figure was me.
The guys laughed so hard at this.
Anyway, we kept going.
As we got used to the interior a bit, we even started to have fun, like running through
these huge halls or jumping on the leftover furniture.
We were already thinking about leaving, when we heard a noise come from somewhere downstairs.
It wasn't just me anymore, the guys got scared as hell too.
We froze for a moment and listened.
Someone (or something) seemed to be coming up the stairs!
So, we rushed around looking for a room to hide in, but it turned out that we were so
frightened we ran in the wrong direction and we found ourselves in a room with no windows!
The door was open and there was no way that we were going to run back to close it...
We were praying we wouldn't get noticed.
Now the joke about me dying first in a horror movie did not seem that funny anymore.
The door in the next room opened.
We heard slow quiet steps toward us.
Then a figure appeared in the doorway.
It was a tall old man.
Only later we'd learn what he was actually doing there, so at that moment he seemed like
a zombie butler or something.
He looked at us for several moments, closed the door, and locked it from the outside!
"I'm calling the police," – he said from the other room.
"We felt stupid.
That was a REAL problem.
What kind of trouble were we going to get in now?
But still, when Jason suggested that we kick down the door, I said I thought that that
might make things even worse.
Maybe I was the most sensible one after all.
So after a while, or what literally seemed like an eternity, the man came back with a
police officer.
The officer was pretty stern, while the old man was smiling most of the time, and asking
him not to be too hard on us!
It turned that the mansion was not completely abandoned.
At some point this man was the only tenant left in the whole house, so he left several
rooms for himself by the back door that he needed and that he could maintain.
He showed us where he lived, and it was actually pretty cozy.
As for calling the police, the old man said that he just wanted to teach us a lesson since
abandoned houses might be really dangerous and stuff.
A ceiling could fall in on you any moment!
Luckily, that mansion was not in bad shape like that.
He said that if we needed a "movie" (that's what he called it), we could come visit his
place anytime, on just one condition.
He wanted to be in the video!
So, here's the story!
We started out afraid of ghosts, and the danger we experienced was not even paranormal.
