Next

I'm going to go back to the state schools soon. Going to see if I can get into any of the buildings that are on the second tape. Sometime this week.

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Clear some stuff up.

I don't know exactly who or what is in the video at the end. I know what it looks like but, how is that possible? I haven't been able to make out much of the face but, that is my purple sweatshirt.

Tonight.

The footage of what happened in the attic will be up tonight. I don't like the idea of having to see it again.

Sunday

How's everyone's Sunday going? So far mine's been uneventful. Like the rest of my weekend. The hotel's not bad. Had some nightmares about the house but nothing out of the ordinary. Expect the footage by Monday. Thanks for all your concerns.

Friday, August 6, 2010

I'm leaving

just got out of the attic. I'm checking into a hotel. I can't stay here anymore. I need to get away. It'll be harder for me to upload the footage on the road but I'll do it when I have the time. Expect it within three days. This is too much.

So

I've been waiting about four or five hours for my friend to get here. Nothing. I can't reach him either. My phones haven't been working tonight either. I don't really want to check out the attic during the night. I'm thinking of going first thing tomorrow morning. With or without help.

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

Tomorrow

Going up to the attic again. Bringing someone with me this time. Keep you posted.

Odd

On my way home last night I was driving up to the house and noticed that all the lights on the second floor were on. When my car got to the driveway they all turned off. I don't know what to think. I had the alarm set so no one had come into the house from outside. Also, I searched the house and nobody was there.

Tomorrow

Like I said found the Belchertown State Schools no problem. Walked around the campus and found some of the buildings from the tapes. Everything went smooth with no incidents. Will upload footage tomorrow.

Abandoned Buildings

I found the location of the abandoned buildings. Not far from the house at all. Going to check it out with a friend. Wish me luck.

Weird Post

So, I don't know why that last post came out like that but, that's not what I wrote on my phone. I was in the house when I made that mobile post. What I was trying to say is that sometime this week I'm going to head back into the attic.

Developments

Someone named Luke e-mailed me and confirmed the location of the footage from the second tape. The buildings are part of what used to be known as the Belchertown State School for the Feeble-Minded. It was an asylum for children with mental illnesses. It was shut down in 1992 due to disgusting conditions, overpopulation and mistreatment of patients. This is creepy stuff. It's not far from where I live either. Is this where the doctor who lived in my house worked?

Here's some more information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belchertown_State_School

Can't help but feel like I'm being watched whenever I'm in the house.

New Information

Sorry I didn't post anything this weekend, I was out and about a lot. Anyways, this weekend when I went and spoke to one of my neighbors about the previous owners of my house I found some interesting information. Like I've said before, I have previously spoken to this neighbor asking about previous owners of the house. All the neighbors said that no one really sticks out in their mind, because all the owners were moving in and out so quickly. But one of my neighbors said he remembered an older man. So I went back and inquired more about him.

The man that I spoke to this weekend has lived here for, essentially, his entire life. He grew up here and when his parent's died he moved into the house. So he has been living in the cul de sac for around seventy years. He told me he would try his best to remember because this man lived her a long time ago. From what my neighbor remembers, this man was already pretty old when he moved in. Somewhere in his sixties. He was some sort of doctor specializing in mental illness and it's prevention. I had never heard this word before but, he tells me that this man was a 'psychosurgeon'. He also told me that the man worked in the area. Not far from where we live actually. The man kept to himself, and would only go outside to go to work. My neighbor doesn't know why the man moved out or where he would go (as the man was in in his seventies by the time he moved out). He went on to tell me that whne the man moved out, he didn't really "move" in the traditional sense of the word. He put the house up for sale and when it was bought, he just took off. Didn't take anything with him. Just got in his car and never came back.

My neighbor says that it was only after this man moved out, that new owners wouldn't stay long. He says that children in the neighborhood tell ghost stories about my house to eachother.

Nightmare

Had an awful, awful dream last night. It's starting to fade already but, I'll try my best. In my dream, me and a friend went into the attic to investigate. My friend in the dream was someone that I've never met before in real life, as far as I remember. I don't remember much about them, they're features were blurry and distorted. There was this awful, almost mechanical grating sound in the attic that started to grow louder and louder. There was a sickening smell that started get worse and worse, until the point where I could taste it. It tasted acidic and metallic. I remember my friend and I started to gag and dry heave. We both threw up. The attic felt like it was spinning. But not in a perfect motion, more like a warped record spinning on a turntable. Wobbling up and down while spinning. Then we were somewhere else suddenly. Somewhere old, decrepit and dilapidated. Everything was ruined and neglected. My friend was gone. I started running through destroyed hallways and rooms searching for him or her. When I found them, there was nothing left but a decaying corpse. I suddenly felt like I was being watched. I spun around to see who was there, and out of the corner of my eye saw them duck into another room. Then I woke up.

Been Thinking

I've been thinking non-stop about it, and a few people have been kind enough to offer some advice. The consensus seems to be that I should head back into the attic but this time with another person, and a more powerful lamp. I'm definitely consdering it. As much as I don't like to think about going back in, it's better than hiding downstairs in my own house. I can't stay down there forever. Thanks everyone for all your support. It means a lot to me.

Sleep

Settling in for the night. Sleeping bag on an air mattress on my living room floor. Haven't been upstairs since Friday night. Not planning on it anytime soon.

Home

Sorry I didn't post earlier. Got home too late last night, and I just needed to get some sleep. Currently I am not even going to the second story of my house. I slept on the couch last night, and tonight I'll probably bring the air mattress up from the basement and crash in the living room. Nothing strange to report about this weekend. Had a really good time with my buddy and got the attic incident of my mind. But now I'm back. There's something wrong with that attic. Is what happened even possible? Am I losing it?


edit: Just wanted to clear this up, for all the people posting comments about the tall pale guy... that's not funny. I'm fairly certain that fictional monster that was thought up on a comedy forum isn't stalking me in real life. 'Slenderman' stopped being scary a long time ago. So let's forget about him.

Saturday, July 10, 2010

Questions.

I'm going to try to answer some of your questions about what happened in the attic. But I'm not really clear on it either. The video is in real time which means I was only in the attic for around two minutes. When I started filming it was about seven. As you can see, it was way later when I got out. The voice... I don't know. No one was there when I got back to the storage room. That's where the voice was coming from. I thought I recognized it. As for 1:38 in the video, I accidentally stepped onto some insulation and fell through a little bit.


On another note. I'm leaving. I can't spend the weekend here alone. I'll be staying at my friend's house for the next few days.

Uploading Now

I'm uploading the video I shot while I explored the attic. I don't really know what's going on right now. I think I might be crazy.
So, the hatch to the attic is open. I'm legitimately scared now. going to grab the camera and see what's up there. wish me luck.

it's really cold upstairs. yet the downstairs is hot.

The tape is gone. The last tape. It's not in the box. i know that's where I left it. This is weird.

Third Tape

Just decided that when I get home, I'm going to watch the last tape.

Heat Wave

The weather just won't let up! I can't remember the last time there was a heat wave like this. The weather reports say that there's no end in sight either. Heat like this can't last long though, right? At least work is air conditioned. When I get home I need to get my other two AC units put in. Which means I'll have to go into the storage room. I'm not scared, I just don't like being around the entrance to the attic. Something about it put's me on edge. Oh well, guess I'll have to deal with it if I don't want heat stroke. On another note, you guys can expect to see the third tape sometime soon.

Attic Door

It is sweltering hot today! Jesus Christ, I mean really. I hope this heat wave lets up soon. It's about a hundred and three degrees outside my house. So I went to the storage room to grab my air conditioning unit and noticed that a cold draft seemed to be coming from the hatch to the attic. Strange, as the rest of my house is boiling hot. I thought heat rises? Didn't even try to force the hatch open this time. Not sure what to make of this.

I'm back!

First off, hope everyone had a good holiday. I sure did. Spent the long weekend relaxing by the ocean. The best part was that I was able to get away from all this for a bit. But now I'm back and ready to try and figure this out. With your help of course. By the way, you guys can feel free to e-mail me about anything. My address is mattzesiger@yahoo.com

Attic

CB#: **********

This is the entrance to my attic. Around five thirty this afternoon I tried to head up to investigate more, but I couldn't get the hatch to budge. It was like it pushed up a little and then came back down. And every time I pushed up, a freezing cold draft was forced out. I gave up.

I just tried to get back up there and this time it budged right away. When I got up in the attic it was extremely hot. Also I know there is a light bulb up there somewhere but I couldn't find it, and there wasn't enough light from the flashlight to take a picture. I'll try again at some point.

Home.

Just got home for the day. Work sucked. Talked with some very nice people about the stuff I've been posting though, so that helped pass the time. Thanks again guys for all your help and support. I think I'm going to check out the rest of the attic at some point tonight. I'll let you guys know what happens.

Codes in the Second Video

The second video I found seems to have a lot to do with patterns and codes. There's the numbers that flash on the screen a few times (those have been translated already) and then there's the sequence with the numbered switches. They flash in a certain order. I'm not sure what relevance this pattern could have. There may even be things in the video I haven't noticed yet.

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

Numbers. A Code?

According to someone named Natas who commented on my last post, the numbers that flash in the video can be decoded to "Find Me" and "Welcome". I'm not sure what this means or what to make of it yet. Thanks for the tip Natas.

edit: Apparently the code is just a simple number substitution for the alphabet.
1=A
2=B
etc.
etc.


Thanks for he tip Natas.

Attic Tape 2

So what I found on the second tape was even more bizarre than the first one. I'm not even sure what to think of this one. This tape was not shot around my house like the last one. I can't really tell where this was shot. Everything about this is just weird. Similar to the first tape though, this is not raw footage. Someone edited this. There seems to be a code that flashes on the screen at some point. I don't really want to watch it again. Maybe I'll give it some more thought later. Anyway, here's the link.

All unpacked. Going to look at the next tape. Keep you guys posted.

Attic Tape

I can't stop thinking about those tapes. I'm at work right now and I can't concentrate on anything. I need to find a way to get it off my mind.

Sunday, June 6, 2010

Uploaded it

What I found on the tape was pretty bizarre. It's definitely not raw footage, meaning that someone edited it at some point, and then rewrote it to tape? Weird. I haven't looked at any of the other tapes in the box yet. Maybe tomorrow. I don't know much about this mysterious footage yet but, what I do know is that this footage takes place around my house. Probably (and hopefully) before I lived here. I'll look over it some more later to try find any other clues. Here's the link.

Attic Tape 1

This what is inside the box.

I plugged the camera in and it works. I'm going to look at the tapes. I'll post anything interesting as soon as I find it.

Found this box in the attic. Going to open it.

Nice Long Weekend

I had today off of work, which means this weekend I have a 4 day weekend! Got a lot done around the house, and it really feels like home now. I'm loving it. I've also gotten a lot more comfortable out here. At first I found the darkness and silence to be a little eerie but, now I find it relaxing and peaceful. Well, I'm going to head out to the bar with some friends. Hope you all have a good long weekend!

I'm Back

Phew, am I exhausted. Just got back from the first vacation of the summer. Spent a little over a week on one of the nicest and most relaxing beaches I've been to yet. The reason I haven't posted anything in a while is because there was no internet access at the hotel. It's nice to come back to my brand new house though... over this last week I had forgotten just how much I love the new place.

A little creeped out

So last night, I was out pretty late with some friends I hadn't seen in a long time. I got home way later than expected, around three o clock in the morning actually. Most of the way home there was a car behind me, but it stayed far enough away that I didn't even think anything of it. It only caught my attention when I made the turn onto my cul de sac, which is a dead end. I thought it was odd but, hey maybe it was a coincidence.

I pulled into my driveway and the car that was behind me pulled into my neighbor's driveway. I thought, 'Hey, maybe one of the neighbor's kids is getting home late.' Then they turned their headlights off but kept the car running. A little bit on edge, I turned my car off and just sat in it for a minute, waiting to see what this person was about to do. After a few moments of waiting, I got out of the car. As I collected my things and then locked my car, the person in the car revved their engine a few times. I quickly walked to my front door, got in, locked the door, and peeked through the window. They turned their headlights back on, and pulled out of neighbor's driveway. As they drove by my house they honked their horn three times. Then the sped off down the road. Legitimately scared now, I ran over to my newly installed burglar alarm and set it. Because of the adrenaline, I couldn't go to bed just now... so I decided to have a snack and try to take the edge off.

About half an hour later, I was laying in bed. Now, the way my new house is set up, one of the windows in my bedroom faces the hill leading away from my house. So if a car were to drive towards my house the lights shine in through the window. I was just about to drift off to sleep when headlights glared through my window. I lied in my bed, staring up at the ceiling, waiting for the headlights to pass as the car continued around the circle. But they did not move. I got out of bed, and peered out the window. The car sat atop the ridge of the hill leading to my driveway, and flashed it's high beams on and off. Then they pulled into my neighbor's driveway again, turned the lights off, revved the engine three times, pulled out, turned the headlights back on, and drove off. Instead of continuing to the exit of the cul de sac though, the car pulled onto a side street. After about five minutes the car re-emerged, honked the horn once, and sped off.

I had a little bit of a hard time going back to sleep after this. I'm kind of nervous, and rightfully so I think. At this point, I'm just really glad that I had this alarm installed, because if something were to happen... no one would really know. I live in a house on top of hill, on a cul de sac, in the middle of the woods. I guess we'll see what happens tonight.

My new house!

Just testing if this mobile blogging thing works.

WOW

I had no idea how late it was! I need to get some sleep! On the bright side though, I just finished unpacking everything. Unfortunately most of tomorrow will be spent putting all my furniture and junk in place. If anyone wants to come over and help me furnish this place that would be lovely. Give me a call. G'night.

False Alarm

Ended up sleeping great last night! My new bed here is SO comfortable. I think it's that memory foam stuff that NASA made or something. Wherever it's from, it sure is comfy. I guess the guys at the home security place were right, probably just a bug. Well anyway, I'm loving the new house! The house is beautiful, and the yard is beautiful! I'm really thinking that this move is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I'll post a picture of the house soon. Thanks for reading, whoever is...

Thursday, May 13, 2010

Phew...

Just had a little scare... my newly installed burglar alarm just went off! I was laying in bed reading my e-mail for work and all of a sudden I heard a siren! I just had the alarm installed two days ago so I had no idea what it would sound like when it went off! I just moved into a quiet cul de sac in the woods, and all the neighbors say that it's usually DEAD quiet around here. My heart stopped in my chest. The home security company called me a few moments later and asked if everything was ok. I told them I didn't know what happened, I was just sitting in my bed when it went off. They told me that it was probably just a bug or something since my alarm was installed recently and not to worry about it. I'm sure they're right. Going to try to get some sleep now.

First Blog Post!

Well, this is the first time I've ever officially "blogged", I always thought it was a little bit weird. It's like a journal or diary but, everyone can read it. Oh well, my personal philosophy is to try everything once so... here goes! Like anyone is actually even going to read this...
