About Us  

A man named John got accepted to work a better job in a factory, far away from his original place of stay. John has to experience terrible traffic each day, and he got frustrated. One day he saw a house in the forest he has to pass through everyday in order to get to work. It's as if the house is calling him to purchase it, telling him that it's exactly what he needs, that it's his ultimate solution.

John purchases the house from an old woman for a really good deal. Before the purchase occured, the old woman said to him, "It's a beautiful house. Just remember to turn of the lights before the clock strikes twelve each night." John was happy and immediately proceeded to renovate the house. As he was renovating the house, he realizes that some of the floor boards creak upon his light steps. He decided to open the floorboards, revealing a teddy bear neatly embedded on the ground within the floors. Being a skeptic, he tried to do research on the teddy bear yet found nothing.

       John places the doll across his bed because he thought it looked antique and expensive. Everything was fine, he followed the advice of the woman who had sold him the house. One day, after a long tiring day of work, due to exhaustion, he immediately falls asleep on his bed upon arriving home. Little did he know, his lights were still on.

The clock strikes twelve at midnight. From afar, the old woman who sold him the house had a gut-feeling that something is wrong. She decided to come and check the houses she had sold before, John's house being one of them. She realized that the house she had sold to John still has its ights on, something she warned him against and for a good cause. The old women freaked out and pounds on John's door loudly. The door opens, as if to invite her in, and the old woman immediately rushes to find John. She checked the kitchen, bathrooms and everywhere else, yet he was nowhere in sight. That was until she finally came across his bedroom.

        She opens the door to his bedroom, to see that a spirit has risen up from the doll across John's bed and is about to strangle the John with its arms.The old woman screams, as loud as she can. The spirit turns to her and snatches her by the throat. John wakes up upon hearing the old woman's scream. He saw that a dark shadow, a spirit, has its grip around the old woman's throat, the lady who had just sold him the house a couple of days ago. The spirit is seconds away from choking her. In the old woman's last seconds, she says, "I told you to turn the lights off". The spirit took her soul immediately, and she vanishes along with it, being drawn inside the teddy bear across of John's bed.

      John was terrified. He immediately turns off all the lights and went back to sleep. The next morning, John decided to skip work to do further research on the teddy bear. John went to the closest police station to ask if they know anything about the doll. Sadly, the police didn't have any clue. He went back to his car in hopelessness. On the way back home, a random guy saw John holding the doll on his hands. The guy rushed to John and asked "where did you find that?" John told him that he found this doll in his house that he just bought a couple of weeks ago from an old woman. The random guy immediately introduced himself. He said "My name is Darin and i can help you." Darin told John that the house that, "the house you just bought was originally a burial. A girl who was murdered tragically was hidden there. Trees were planted around the site to hide her body."
