It was just the three now. The owner had left them alone so they could do their own investigating. The first thing they did was film the intro in the front of the house.

"What's up everyone it's Sam and Colby and today we are here with Seth," started Colby. Seth made a weird noise matching Colby's enthusiasm.

While they were doing the intro Seth just tuned out everything after he felt a tug on the back of his shirt. He turned back and there was no one. He turned back and stared at the camera wondering what that was. He's been wondering whether these have just been his imaginations or not. They've been happening more frequently recently. Maybe he started getting more haunted somehow? Maybe the places he's been have been scaring him and making him imagine things? He couldn't figure it out, but he'd just have to wait.

"Seth!"

Seth looked up in shock at the fellow brunette that yelled his name. "Sorry, what?"

"You good man? You looked like you were in shock."

"I thought I felt a tug on the back of my shirt."

"Really," shouted Sam pointing the camera towards Seth. "Guys whatever is in this place has got to love Seth! You've been having things happening to you left and right since we got here."

"I know, I hate it. Although very good content," Seth laughed with a thumbs up.

"You know that's how it goes," laughed the other brunette.

They all laughed and continued on to the inside once the intro was finished.

"Okay so me and Colby have to explain the place and what it's about before we start exploring. Where would the perfect place be?"

"Weren't there chairs in the waiting room? They were cushioned," Seth suggested.

"Well cushioning is important. Must keep the a*s protected," joked Colby.

"And all of what's in the a**hole. All them entities," laughed Sam.

They burst out laughing for a minute straight. The laughing died down when Seth noticed something that made him stop. Colby noticed and questioned," Seth?"

"I swear I'm seeing things," Seth screamed, holding his hands against his head tugging his hair.

"Dude what's wrong," Colby asked with worry covering his tone.

"I could've sworn I saw something behind Sam. It just peaked out. It was a shadow figure!"
"What's behind me! Oh sh*t! Right as we were saying that!"

"You good Seth?"

"Yeah I think I'm good now. Let's just keep going."

They continued walking and got to their spot. Seth sat down with Colby sitting next to him while Sam was setting up the camera. Colby was looking at Seth, who he could tell was freaking out. He didn't want to make it weird by making some awkward touch, but he really wanted to comfort him somehow. So he decided to do what he did best.

"I feel like it would be funny if bears ruled the world."

"What?"

"What the f*ck Colby!? That was so random," Seth just bursted out laughing. "That came out of nowhere! That was so f*cking funny. Also I'm pretty sure it'd be scary."

"Well...You're right," Colby admitted looking down.

"Where'd that even come from," asked the blonde.

"I don't know. Just a random question that popped in my head...Plus the picture of the bear right there." He pointed towards the frame across from them.

They all burst out laughing and a different mood filled the air. Colby looked at Seth and saw that he was in a much better mood. It took a couple of minutes till Sam was able to set up everything. When he finished he sat on the other side of Seth.

"So now let's talk about the history of this place. It has a lot!"

"A lot a lot or just a lot," Colby continued to joke.

"A lot a lot."

"I don't think it's been around as long as England has."

"Alright then, a lot."

They all bursted out in laughter for a minute until Colby apologized, "Sorry, now let's get back to the explaining...Sam."

"Okay! Anyway, this place was built in the 30s and this is actually not the original building. The original burned down in 1940 due to unknown causes. Now once it was rebuilt, things got scary. It took a while to rebuild it due to the war going on at the time, but eventually they got it built up again. Took a couple of years, but they got it. Just took a whole new organizations to take over to build it again."

"Wait, what the heck did the townspeople around here do then if they had a medical emergency?"

"Good question Seth. Another town? I have no clue!"

"Well that's not good."

"No it is not! Anyway, after it was rebuilt for some reason it started having strange noises heard within its walls. Patients that weren't mental patients started going crazy. They would...Trigger warning by the way it's graphic...So they would cut themselves open and pull their innards."

Both Colby and Seth gagged at the image in their heads.

"Yeah, disgusting stuff. People could see shadow figures and hear disembodied voices. It's nuts. One story that terrifies me is the one about the YouTubers."

"Oh, yeah that story is absolutely something out of a movie," Colby's eyes widened as he recalled the story.

"This one is close to home. They were exploring YouTubers you know, breaking in. It could've been us. Oh! This happened not too long before the current owner took it to make it available to the public. This is a long time difference to when it was open, probably like...Okay so it wasn't closed until more recently too. It was at least abandoned for a decade, that's all where my math skills are going to go. Back to the story, so the guys were Youtubers and they came here ILLEGALLY! Imagine that." They all laughed."The one guy was terrified and kept having panic attacks, but they still kept going. So not much was going on, but the energy was just drowning them. It was like they were being watched. When they got to the operating room and found a secret room, they saw something that altered their life forever. It was a child."

"Children are scary dude! I wouldn't want to meet them in a dark alley."

"As you've told us before," chuckled Seth.

"This kid was bloody and still alive! His one eye was cut into and he was freaked out."

"Well gee I wonder why," Seth said sarcastically.

"No I'd be fine if you blinded me with a knife," Colby added another sarcastic comment. He then said, "No but seriously guys, this is f*cked up. He was very young, like eight or something, I actually don't remember but yeah. After finding him they rightfully called the police and they took him in. Not much else is known about the boy, he jumped from foster homes to foster homes, he mainly was kept away from the public. Which makes sense, whatever happened was surely traumatic. It would be for me, so imagine a kid going through that! I wouldn't want people crowding around me reminding me of my trauma. This kid specifically was sent away from this area for that reason."

"I can't imagine what could've been happening here. It's just terrible," said Seth.

"After that the current owner bought this place and changed it up. He did some renovations and made it available to the public. Whatever was going on the times before him though, was very dark and very evil. That energy is said to still remain to this day. People get cuts and bruises on their bodies. Screams, voices, and footsteps have also been heard. Others have experienced getting pushed and pulled!"

"This place is no joke!" Seth then continued explaining, "No one knows why it turned so dark, but there have been theories. One being that there was experimentation going on within these walls during its run. It had many deaths in its walls. There were a lot of deaths for just a small town."

"Well, I guess it's time to start the investigation," Sam concluded, smiling a scared smile. He turned the camera off and looked at the others. "Should we do the solo investigations first again?"

Seth felt his stomach drop, he forgot about that. It's been a while since he's done that. Plus, he wasn't thinking about the solo investigations, he was thinking about having some fun time with his bros. He couldn't speak, but he so desperately wanted to. With these guys, he didn't want to seem like a coward, especially with Colby. He came back and they were already ahead on the conversation anyway, no turning back. Plus, the camera was turned on again.

"Okay, so I think one should take down in the room where the boy was found. Another should take the first level and then someone else can take the basement. I can take the top floor. Colby, you take the middle, and Seth you get the one room below all this."

"That's also the place where probably a lot of the pain is."

"F*ck," yelled Seth as he grabbed a camera and went towards the place he was sent. He tried desperately hiding his fear. Once he got to his destination he froze. The same operating table was there and there were still some old blood stains on the wall. This room gave him bad vibes. "Okay so they sent me down here...I forgot to get a device. Oops! They probably wanted me with one. I didn't hear them call out to me so...I'll just try myself and them then. Today is really really a very scary day," he started singing. He didn't know why, but he was trying to distract himself. "Okay, I'll stop." He sat down on a chair and started saying,"If someone's here can you please~"

*BANG

He jumped and looked back towards the noise, it came from the table. The one the boy was found on. "Oh sh*t!" He was close to tears. "I'm guessing that was a yes. Did you die here?"

He heard a knock on the wall next to the stairs learning down here. He had to relax for a second before he continued. "What was your position here?'

No response. "Were you a doctor?"

No response. "Nurse?"

No response. He sat in silence for a couple of minutes and he started to calm down. He should've known it wasn't gonna last long. Just as he sighed in relief, he heard a growl right in his ear. He fell off his chair with a scream onto the ground and pointed the camera to where he just fell from.

"What the f*ck was that! Guys, something literally just growled in my ear!" He was shaking and tears were streaming down his eyes. He heard a movement from in front of him so he turned the light and camera towards it. What he saw caused him to drop the camera and scream louder than before. He saw a creature with long black hair and rotting flesh coming towards him. Crawling backwards as fast as he could, he started hyperventilating. Once his back hit the wall he screamed again and curled in on himself. He couldn't run anywhere so his instinct was to hide. Rocking back and forth, nothing happened. He was too scared to look up so he just continued breathing heavily and crying. He heard distant voices but couldn't make them out. He felt a hand on his arm and jumped screaming. When he looked at the one who grabbed him, he sighed in relief.

"What's wrong! What happened," Colby asked, keeping his hold of Seth.

"I-I saw something."

"What did you see?"

"W-wel I first heard things. A bang, a knock, and then a growl right by my ear!"

"Oh f*ck!"

"Yeah, I fell off my chair after that one. Then this rotting beast was crawling towards me," he cried, breaking down once again.

Colby just kneeled there rubbing his shoulders and saying, "It's okay." Once Seth calmed down again he suggested, "We should get Sam and get out of here."

"What about your video?'

"I think we have enough. I mean what you've been seeing has been more than enough," assured Colby.

"Are you sure?'

"Yes."

"Okay."

They both got up and picked up their things that were dropped on the ground. Seth stood close to Colby as they walked up the first level and then to the second.

"Sam," Colby shouted.

They heard in the distance, "Yeah?"

"Come here!"

A few seconds later Sam walked in front of them. The blonde saw the faces of the brunettes and asked,"What's wrong?"

"We have to go," replied Colby

"What, why?"

"Whatever is here has been going after Seth. I found him curled up screaming on the floor in the basement."

"Seriously? Bro, you okay?"

"I'm good, just feeling sick being here"

"Yeah, yeah let's go."

They packed up their things and left. They drove to the hotel they were all staying at. Seth gave them the key, he was the one who made the reservations anyway. Once they shut the hotel door, Seth felt at ease.
