James and his wife, Mandy, were buying their first home together. They had enough money to buy the house, which they saw as their ideal home. It was big and had a garden for their future children. But their perfect home was a nightmare.

They decided to make Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania their home.

Eventually, they found something that satisfied both of them. Mandy was excited when they visited the house. But the couple soon felt sad.

James and Mandy Fisher had been married for five years when they bought their dream home.

They were amazed at the amount of space.

The home office, kitchen, and living room were on the ground floor. Mandy was happy to have a big kitchen for all her favorite meals.

It was a two-story building with bedrooms on the second floor. She noticed something strange.

There was a floor hatch in the kitchen.

A real estate agent said the home belonged to an older woman without children. Mandy thought the cupboard needed a new coat of varnish, but when she moved it, she found something strange.

Mandy saw something hidden behind an old cupboard. The previous owner had left it there.

Mandy liked the old Victorian look of the house, but it needed some updates. She found something hidden behind the cupboard.

The cabinet hid a door that couldn’t be opened. 

Mandy tried for weeks to find the key to the mystery door in the kitchen.

James turned on the heating to warm the room. Mandy read a few chapters of her book as soon as they were comfortable. The smell made them sit up.

The smell was so bad they had to leave the room.

They moved to another room. The smell came from the heating system when he turned it on.

James saw something shining inside as he closed the last vent in the home office. It was a key.

An old cabinet in the kitchen hid the door.  

They decided the smell came from the basement. But they found more.

They used the flashlight to go down the steps. They could only see dust particles in the light.

Mandy worked on the chests while James looked at the photos. Mandy thought about what was in the chests. It was scary down there.

They saw more wine barrels, old furniture, wooden chests, and pictures.

James saw a reflection of metal in the mirror.

It was an old, worn crowbar. The lock was broken, and the hatch was removed.

He found something he could use as a key. Strange jars with food were also found. They also found a box with surprising contents. The storage nook held more than just recipes and cereals.

1887 James didn’t believe what they found.

There was also a rolled-up piece of parchment. James unrolled it and saw the house’s original designs.

They found lots of new information. Mandy felt uneasy.

It was coming from the kitchen. James called the professionals as soon as he woke up.

They arrived in 30 minutes, ready to force the vent.

When they finally opened it, they found something horrible.

They found jars with destructive liquids and animal carcasses and bones.

Old Pennsylvanian Traditions

In Pennsylvania, a ritual healing practice called powwow was used. He said they used animal carcasses to mix religion and healing.

The old lady needed medical help. James and Mandy decided to remove the jars and corpses to eliminate the smell and let them live their everyday lives.
