Freefall voiceover: I discover that Sven, Edie's husband (Using her nickname) was the one who design the tombstones for the family, more on that later as it is a pinicle subject. I soon found myself in another bed room, where there was someone sleeping on one of the beds.
Freefall: *Smiles* Look Chris, seems we found one of your sibling.
Freefall voiceover: There was the midlist child, sleeping in a blue blanket...till I picked him up and he awoke.
Freefall: *Smiles* Why hello there, you have any idea how worried your brother was.
Freefall voiceover: Looking around I notice that there was another memorial up in the second half of the room. One half for military, the other half space and that's where the nexts clue was in the command center.
Freefall walks over the bridge and into the command center.
Freefall: *Bit sad* Aww...this kid was only 11...*Sees note* what's this? *retrieves and reads it*
Freefall voiceover: Calvin Finch was the twin of a brother named Sam. Calvin was fascinated with space (Given during that time was the Great space race) and dreamed to reach the stars. He sadly died when he swung to hard and flew into the ocean on September 23rd 1961. To be honest, I kinda felt that foul-play was at hand. He was holding tightly to the swing...did someone grab the swings rope, jerk it and he fell. In any case, I decided to name the middle child Calvin...perhaps one day he will reach the stars his ancestor wished to do.
Freefall went back to the sibling, secure them, then proceeded to the bookcase. However, he paused and turned to the command center, doing a small salute. He continued to the bookcase, and immediately notice the puzzle. He pushed the small books into the big one, finding the handle and pushing it up before proceeding in.
Freefall voiceover: To say the Finch Family tragedies were sad, doesn't explain most of them...Barbara Finch was the most dark.
Freefall: *Pokes his head out* Movie posters, bigfoots everywhere...yep, Barbara's room. *Gets out* let's hear your story now.
Freefall voiceover: However, Barbara had no writing about herself, did that stop me...no, I found something else.
Freefall: *Walks over to Memorial, sees comic and picks it up* 'Dreadful Stories: The Surprise Ending of Barbara Finch!', heard it was a best seller back in the day, maybe it has some clues in it?
Freefall voiceover: Creepiest story ever...Barbara Finch was the child star of the family, staring in the cult classic 'My Friend Bigfoot' where she was most famous for her scream. She was also, however, the one Finch that was born and died on her birthday, Halloween October 31st 1960, her music box playing. Due to there being no information on how she died, theories and speculation rose up like wildfire. The clue I got from this...Rick. I remember asking the police force if they had any information on him, there was none...nothing, it had gotten to the point where I had to ask Chief if he could find any documentation on him and he found nothing...so who was Rick? I find it hard to believe he just came out of nowhere, says 'I'm your biggest fan and I have a crush on you', and then vanishes on the day she died...something foul about it.
Freefall: Well...that's nightmare fuel. *Sees Calvin poke at the book* No, you are too young to read this-wait? *Turns to the back* The music box..*Thinks then-* The key is in the music box!
Freefall voiceover: With this revelation in mind, I hurried to the hallway and wind the music box to the point the key popped out. Turning the key, me and the boys went into the basement. This was where Sven workshop was, before he was killed by a 'dragon' in August 26th 1964...No seriously, that's how he wanted to be remember. Too bad it was on his youngest son's birthday.
Freefall: Feel kinda sorry for Walter, He lost his sister, his older brother, and then his father on his birthday...but where did he go?
Freefall voiceover: Traveling down, I found a secret door into a cave system...which led to a bunker underneath the house. Shock and surprise were plain on my face as I entered and explore the bunker. Cans of peaches, a bed, and there was a memorial of an old man...then it click, Walter was down here this whole time. He spent 30 years in here.
Freefall: *Confused; bit sad* Walter...why, why didn't you come back out? *Notices the note* What's this? *Opens it*
Freefall voiceover: Turns out he did leave from the bunker, but also earth. He finally had the courage to face his past, but was killed on March 31st 2002 by a...train? That did not sound right...the train from here to the Island have been close before the 2000s. Someone ran him over. It was there that I concluded that foulness was in effect on this family, someone wanted them dead. At least Walter is with his family now, so I guess it was a happy ending for him.
Freefall voiceover: Walking out of the Bunker, the caves and back outside, it was nighttime...the storm predicted for the night was brewing. I walked, thinking of all that I had learn so far. 'This family...why did they go through this? Who was doing this?' I wonder. My mind went back to the children's mother and the writer of the journal I found, Edith. I can't imagine how she felt discovering her family's tragic past and how important the bloodline was. I stopped at the shores of the lake, and turned towards it. I was fallowing her route.
Then, without knowing at the time, I placed my hand on my stomach. I could feel her emotions. A Women who went through tragedies and was the last of a bloodline. A mother who knew she would not survive while bring her children in the world. A person...whose family did not deserved this.
Calvin: Bwaaa. Bwaaa?
Chris: *Tugging*
Freefall: *Looks at Calvin and Chris; smiles sadly* I'm okay...I'm, just thinking.
Freefall voiceover: Side note, pet cemetery was creepy...As for the family cemetery, it was a site to behold. I mean, the cemetery was finished before the house...but I could see why. Each grave had their own uniqueness to a family member. Molly was a angle cat; Calvin was a rocket ship and moon; Sven was a saw; Edie was a book with 3D Words; Walter was a stone carved with a piece missing, a tiny stone man in it; Barbara was a star (Of course); And Odin was memorialized with his death scene, as he sent his child and family to safety. There was also a telescope that pointed to where the wreckage was, the red light still going; A curiosity went over me as I flew there. The building was old and moldy, but still intact. I found an old journal from Odin Finch and read it finding that half of the book was ripped off...then I returned back to land with it. I'll tell you about it later, back to the graves. Three of the graves were normal and they were Sam *He had a little flag placed though* Gus and Gregory; Though missing and presumed dead, Milton had a paint brush; Sanjay was normal; and Lewis had a jar of something on top of his grave; Looking at these got me thinking…after they died, did they discover that there was no curse and it was done by one person. I think so. They wanted justice, I was losing control of my emotion. Though I kept them in to find answers...they were about to burst.
Freefall voiceover: If anything, I was amazed that this women got around when she was 22 weeks pregnant. I exited the cemetery and walked back to the house towards the next room.
Freefall: So this must be her Grandfathers room...It says he and her mother were close.
Opens the door and finds taxidermy and war medals
Freefall: Huh, both were persistent...Okay. *Looks around till he got to Sam's memorial* No writing, only picture...*looks through them*.
Freefall voiceover: Death by dear...yeesh! Apparently the dear was supposed to be dead, but it wasn't and he died on June 16th 1983...ya know, the same year in summer when Scavenger and Chief went to investigate that Park with the deaths of the children. Looking at it, I notice a rock flying towards the dear...Dawn missed, but someone didn't, leaving it stunned till Sam went up to it. Worse, the scene where he began to fall was taken...what a way to go.
Freefall voiceover: Poor Sam...I walked around the room a bit more till I found a door. Opening it I entered a small hallway to the next room...It was a nursery.
Freefall: *To the babies* Well, this looks like a good place for you to sleep, there's even a cri-
Freefall voiceover: I remember...that memorial. I stopped, my heart felt still.
Freefall: *Horror* No...*Walks over* No-no-*picks up paper* Please no...
Freefall voiceover: A baby drowned...a one year old...drowned. This paper was a divorce paper to Sam for a women named Kaye. Someone called Kaye, pretended to be Sam and the baby-At this point my emotions broke, I broke down sobbing. Why was he doing this...why! WHAT DID THIS FAMILY DO TO DESERVE THIS! I continued to cry on the floor...A note; Kaye died months after the divorce from a broken heart...and that made this discovery worse.
Freefall voiceover: After calming myself and placing the two children on an open mattress. I proceeded to another memorial in the same room...like I haven't seen a tragic story few minutes ago, there was another one.
Freefall: -sighs- Oh boy...*grabs roll of paper* Now how did you die.
Freefall voiceover: Head trauma...this child named Gus was avoiding his father's remarriage, flying a kite on November 8th 1982 when a storm came through...causing all guest minus him to seek cover. His body was found later. Now this person wasn't being secretive...does he want to be found.
Freefall voiceover: Climbing up to the next, I discover somethings about Edith's mother, Dawn. With all the deaths and tragedies, she became intense and emotionally reserved individual, developing an interest in both spirituality and religion, becoming a humanitarian aid and traveling to India where she met her husband, Sanjay. She had Milton, Lewis and Edith afterwards, then moved back with Edie after her husband's death. After Milton disappearance and Lewis's death, she distance herself from Edie with the belief that if they continue remembering tragic history and legends it would kill them...She died in 2016 due to a stress related illness.
Freefall voiceover: After a small tour of Dawn's room and the home school room, i open the door to the next's room, a bridge which led to a Castle. The storms wind blew hard as I walked over to the building.
Freefall: -Shivers- If I knew I would be here this late I would of grabbed my coat. *Tries to open the door* Of course it's lock...
Freefall walked to the other side and finds an open window...jumps in.
Freefall voiceover: It was an artist dream room. Turns out Milton was the artist of the family. Finding a rope elevator, I hosted myself up to the top, where his memorial was. Milton was another mystery, I thought as I flip through his flip work book...he disappeared in 2003. This is what cause the remaining Finch's' to break...I wish there was a way to find him, but if we did...well, that's for later...He would have been a great artist.
Freefall voiceover: I really wished I had brought my coat with me as I exited the building...I left it at the hospital, guess it doesn't matter now. I was nearing the end. I continued back but instead of going back in, I went up the set of stair next to the door. I found myself at the top and entering his-boat like room?-though the window.
Freefall: *Lands and smell the place;crinkles nose* Aww...weed smell...*finds a device* Well, found the source.
Freefall looks at the room...it was trippy to the nights.
Freefall: Where oh where do I find info about you..*Sees envelope* Ah...*grabs it and opens it up; bit nervous* Lets see what happen to Lewis...
Freefall voiceover: Beheading...he and Dawns death were the only ones that was not caused by foul play...but yeesh. Turns out he developed a mental disorder which stemmed off on how boring his life was (Though I think he was feeling guilty about Milton) which made his mind wonder and made him apathetic and depressed, which caused him to go through rehab...he died on November 21st 2010, when he thought he was being crown...It was there I notice, I haven't found the youngest of the triplets yet.
Freefall voiceover: There was one more room left. I exited Lewis room. I didn't need to know where I was going...I was already being shown the way. I enter the room...I climbed the stairs…And there he was, the youngest wrapped in an orange blanket, and Edith's room...Looking back, I don't regret my decision to go on this mission, I just wish I was there to stop this. On her bed as I held the infant was half of a book...I found the truth. Edie, when the tide was low, walked to the old house. There she discover the book. As I read the re-completed book, I found out that before the Finch's became rich, they had a rival and that's when it all clicked. The book I found at the wreak, Edie's pages on the bed and wanting her family to know, the deaths; those were not accidents...they were murdered.
