31 Horrifying Tales From The Dead
|
Darren and his family had just gotten back from their vacation when they received a phone call from Darren's aunt, Matilda.
"Darren, your uncle Henry was found dead in the wine cellar, and I need you to come by the Mansion and help me straighten out my affairs. You are the only one I can trust with this matter. I hope your family doesn't mind if you come to stay with me for a while until I get this all sorted out," said Aunt Matilda.
"I will talk it over with my wife tonight, and I don't anticipate any problems," Get some rest, and I'll be there in the morning to start the process," said Darren.
"I feel so much better knowing that you'll be helping me out. I know your uncle Henry would've wanted it that way." He was always proud of your accomplishments and cared about you so much that he wanted you to have the Mansion should he ever leave us. What do you think about that, Darren?" said Matilda.
Before Darren had a chance to reply she interjected, "Before you say a word, there are no living relatives besides you and me, and we both know that my age and my health would not allow me to take on the huge task of making sure the Mansion is in tip-top shape. Your family belongs here. I know this place has a horrid past, but maybe you and your family can bring many years of happiness to it."
She paused for a moment, "Your uncle should've never gotten mixed up in the occult with his father, Merlin. Henry said that if we were to get married, someday he would give up his father's wicked ways, but even when we were married, he was too far in it that he didn't honor his word too me. But I was so naïve, and in love with him that I didn't see the secrets that he kept from me until it was too late.
Since the death of your uncle, I have now discovered hidden passages in some of the rooms that I never knew existed. The Red Room on the east side has a large pentagram in the middle of the floor, and a table with blood stains on it—where I assume was for human sacrifices. I also noticed when I touched the walls, there was heavy padding covering them, and the door was thick with blood. I would imagine the padding was done to soundproof the room so that if any visitors came by and happened to pass the Red Room, they wouldn't be able to hear any screams."
She hesitated. "Darren, you're not going to believe this, but I found a diary Henry was keeping about the rituals that took place inside the Red Room… including all the gory details. The number of people that died inside that room is inconceivable. I can't believe I knew nothing about what went on. I did notice that the door was always kept locked. But whenever I would ask the maid, she would tell me that it was kept locked because Henry and his father were working on a breakthrough invention. It would bring the family a vast fortune, and they didn't want anyone to steal their secret.
So, me being the naïve person that I was, I just left it at that and never brought it up again. If only I would have been the kind of wife that knew all of her husband's business, I might have been able to stop him from getting too involved and moved away from this horrid Mansion. My husband may still be alive today..."
Matilda composed herself and continued.
