Peter's Narration: I once lived in a place called Grains Hill. Do I want to go back there? No. *Sigh* I don't have good memories of that place. It doesn't even bring me an ounce of nostalgia. People keeps saying that childhood memories are supposed to be sweet. Well, it was never sweet for me. All it was for me was just a nightmare. Especially that night... that winter night. Every time after school, I used to walk back home. But I would always pass by Grains Hill Cemetery. There were so many conspiracies stating that Steven Foxx, the owner of the Grave House, killed his wife that was missing for days! There were so many conspiracies that Steven was a murderer. I never really liked nor believed it. But that night will always change my life forever.
(11:23 PM, December 11, 2015): 
I remember it was a dark, cold night. It was also snowing outside. Me and my friends, Tim and Quinn, were going to sneak in the grave home of Steven Foxx. I always hated the looks of the house. Everybody in Grains Hill remembers that one red light that was always turned on... every single day and night! Like a demon was in that room... watching everything outside the house! We never really believed in the things everyone says about the house. They would always say that Steven Foxx killed his own wife, and that is why he would never come out of the house during that time. We never believed that, but our curiosity took hold of us. So that night, we've decided to sneak in and see for ourselves. Tim: "Y'all ready to go in?" Quinn: "Yeah. We gon be like the myth busters!" (Quinn laughs) Tim: "How about you Peter?" Peter: (Nervously) "Y-yeah... sure!" Tim: "Oh, come on man! You don't believe in that stuff! Do you?" Peter: "N-no! It's just... I feel kinda guilty just sneaking in someone's house like this! Ain't this trespassing?!" Tim: "Man, don't worry! You don't gotta be scared like that! We ain't gonna take long!" Peter: (Reluctantly) "Well... *sighs* alright..." Tim: "Well great! Let's go!" Peter: "But how are we going to get in the house?" Quinn: "We discovered the cellar door is open. We just going to get through there and... well go up from there!" Peter: "*Sighs*... alright!" Tim: "Well come on! Let's go in!"
(11:25 PM):
I remember the moment we went in through the cellar door, I already felt cold! I was... shivering! There were rows of bunks that were filled with... corpses! I-I remember how disgusting it smelled! I wanted to gag, but if I did, I probably would have got us caught! It was dark in there alright... and foggy strangely! Of course, we had to turn on our flashlights. But while Tim and Quinn were pondering how crazy this place was, I stopped walking. I remember having this strange feeling... something I never experienced before! I remember my eyes were... distorted with... static!!! Yeah, you heard me right! STATIC!!! LIKE FROM A T.V!!! I-I-I REMEMBER THAT I SAW THESE FLASHING SHORT CLIPS... T-THEY WERE SO DISTURBING!!! Then... I remember it was getting worse and worse, little by little. And then, I had this strange feeling that a man was watching us from behind! I turned around, and I could've sworn I saw a tall man with a hat peeking at us from the corner of the far bunk behind us! B-but... it... it didn't even look like a human! It was pale as snow, and its arms were long! Its legs were covered with a long cloak-like clothing! And its eyes were unidentifiable... I was only able to see its grin! I-it was so... sinister!!! And the moment my eyes laid on... whatever it is... the static got worse! And my ears were deafened and distorted, just as my eyes, with a loud, irritating noise! Then, the second I blinked... whatever it was, was gone!!! I must have been hallucinating, but it all felt so real. My friends were questioning me after, but I told them I was fine. I still wonder what that thing is! Whatever it was... it may have been nothing but a warning to what was to come!!!
(11:30 PM): 
After a few minutes, we finally found the stairs. And up there, there was a door. And we could tell right away that the door led to the red room because we can see the red light underneath the door! Of course, I was horrified! But... I have NEVER felt this horrified in my life! I just remember how my heart sank... and it kept skipping a beat! It was making my hands cold as the winter right now! But Tim slowly opened the door, and we cautiously entered the room. The first thing we saw was the window we would see outside the house. We looked outside and we can see where we would always see the window. But... I remember looking closely at the window, and I noticed a reflection of a hanged person behind us! My heart was beating so fast! And I told my friends that there was something behind us... and we slowly turned around. We saw her... we saw Mrs. Foxx's hanged body on a noose!!! HER BODY WAS... OUT OF PLACE!!! HER MOUTH WAS CUT INTO A SMILE, AND HER HANDS WERE PIERCED WITH KNIVES!!! HER FEET WERE TIED TOGETHER!!! This was DEFINITELY a planned murder! WE WERE OBVIOUSLY SHOCKED AND HER CORPSE SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF US!!! But the moment we were all scared, a person started charging at us!!! IT WAS A FRICKIN CLOWN!!! HE WAS LAUGHING MANIACALLY, AND HE WAS SWINGING A HATCHET AT US!!! We all were dodging the hatchet and we ran back down into the cellar. The clown was still laughing, and we all quickly hid within the bunks on the blank spots! We could hear the clown talking to us. Hell Clown: "Oh ki-ids! Did y'all came to play?! (Chuckles maniacally) Well... it's way past your bedtimes! Come out come out wherever you are! Hide 'n' Seek is boring sometimes! (Chuckles)"
(11:37 PM): 
After a little while, I remember Quinn dropped his phone when we were running away. He was quietly complaining about it to us. Quinn: "(Whispering) Oh shoot! G-guys... I-I dropped my phone on the stairs." Tim: "Are you serious right now?! We ain't going up there!" Quinn: "But I need my phone!" Tim: "Shut up! We are not going up there Quinn!" Quinn: (Gets up from the bunk) Tim: "Quinn what the heck!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! DON'T GO!!!" Quinn: (Slowly sneaks to the stairs) Tim: "Dammit Quinn!!! Peter, let's go!" Peter: "What?! NO!!!" Tim: (Follows Quinn) Peter: "You have got to be kidding me!" As they insist, I followed Tim and Quinn up the stairs. By the looks of it, the clown wasn't there! But I still had a bad feeling that he was around! Peter: "(Whispering) Guys, we shouldn't!!!" Quinn: "Shut up!" I remember Quinn was slowly reaching for the phone that was right in front of the stairs, and as he slowly reached the phone, the door suddenly slammed on Quinn's arm! As Quinn shouted in pain, me and Tim backed up only to see Quinn's arm being chopped off by the clown's hatchet!!! The clown was laughing again, and he swung his hatchet on Quinn's head with a full swing!!! Quinn immediately collapsed lifeless on the floor!!! "Oops! (Mockingly) I-I-I JUST KILLED YOUR STUPID FRIEND!!! (Laughs evilly)" The clown started chasing me and Tim, and shortly once we arrived in the cellar, Tim got caught in a bear trap. He screamed in pain, and the clown was mocking him by approaching him slowly. I felt guilty for doing this, but I hid around the corner, and I observed Tim and the clown. The clown was chuckling as Tim winces in pain! Hell Clown: "Hey little fella! I see your stuck there!" Tim: "F*CK YOU!!!" Hell Clown: "Oooh! You said the f word!!! I think I know what you mean... (Smiles)... you mean fate!!! (Obnoxiously chuckles) Well, don't you worry now child! This whole thing will be over! All you have to do is... accept your... FATE!!! (Laughs maniacally)" Tim: "What the f*ck is wrong with you?!" Hell Clown: "Nothing... all I'm doing is just sacrificing to the master, kid! You don't get it now... but you WILL after you accept your fate! So... do you accept it?" Tim: "F*CK YOU A**CLOWN!!!" Hell Clown: "Yes? Okay! (Smiles)" Tim: WHAT!!! Hell Clown: (Positions his hatchet for a full swing) Tim: "NO!!! PLEASE!!! I-I-I'LL DO ANYTH-" Hell Clown: (Hits Tim's head with his hatchet before he can finish his sentence and laughs maniacally) I remember how afraid I was the moment Tim died. I wanted to cry, but if I did, the clown would have gotten me!!! After the clown walked away, I sneaked to Tim's dead body. I whispered how sorry I was, and I had tears in my eyes. But then, I heard footsteps rushing towards me as I was mourning. And as I was about to run, it was too late... the clown hit me with the hard side of the hatchet. It knocked me out and the last thing I heard was, Hell Clown: "Get ready kiddo! The circus will be starting soon!!! (Chuckles)"
(12:32 AM, December 12, 2015): 
I remember I woke up after getting knocked out. It most probably has been a while, but I just remember that my hands and feet were tied up. We were in a different part of the house, but it was dark and cold! I was freaking out and I remember how difficult it was to take a breath. I was whimpering and I... rapidly observed my surroundings. Then all of a sudden, the lights turned on and I just remembered how horrifying it was!!! There were hanged children surrounding me and I see tables filled with choices of weapons!!! They all were stained with blood!!! I-It's like... IT'S LIKE I'M STILL IN THAT ROOM!!! WHAT THE HECK!!! T-then I saw that clown walking towards me with a hammer! I tried to avoid him as far as I can, b-but I can't! All my limbs were tied!!! I WAS GOING TOO SLOW!!! Hell Clown: " (Walking towards Peter) You see, when they say this generation is doomed, well they just might be right kiddo! I mean look at you! You are nothing but a worthless wretch! (Chuckles obnoxiously)" Peter: (Dragging himself towards the exit) Hell Clown: "Are you serious right now? (Laughs obnoxiously) You are trying SO HARD to just avoid me!!! For what though?! You are TIED you idiot!!! You... you can't even get up!" Peter: (Realizes the clown is right and gives up) Hell Clown: "Atta boy! See? You are smart... all you need was just a little reeducation! (Chuckles)" Peter: "(Takes a breath before talking) Go to Hell!!!" Hell Clown: "*Sighs* Well you don't have to tell me that! (Crouches down to look at Peter in the eyes and smiles) We are already in Hell." Peter: (Looks at the clown in shock) Hell Clown: (Gets up and hit Peter with the hammer in a full swing) I felt nothing but pain when that hammer hit me. My head felt light and dizzy after the blow... GOSH... IT'S LIKE THAT HAMMER IS STILL HITTING ME!!! THAT'S JUST HOW POWERFUL THE EFFECTS WERE!!! I just remember how endless it felt hit after hit AFTER HIT!!! I was most probably disfigured after those blows! I remember how I could barely see, how I can barely hear the clown! It was truly like Hell!!! 
(12:45 AM): 
After what felt like hours of the hammer hitting my skull, I could kind of see how disfigured I was! I could see the blood spewing slowly and painfully!!! And when I looked at the clown, I can see this strange and violent... joy... marked on his face! I can see his yellow button shirt stained with my blood, that you can barely see the green, orange, and purple polka dots that was on there!!! His... blue top hat was also kind of stained with my blood!!! And his face had some of my blood on it!!! It just... RUINS H-HOW PLAYFUL A CLOWN IS SUPPOSED TO BE!!! I just remember how... DESPERATE I WAS... T-TO... TO END THE PAIN!!! I can barely keep up with life... b-but I'm surprised that I was still hanging on!!! I remember how I was talking to him... practically begging him to stop! Peter: "(Talking in pain) W-w-why are y-you... sso... v-viol-lent?!" Hell Clown: (Laughs) Peter: (Spits out blood) Hell Clown: "People always complain about the world being violent, but to be honest... violence is what the world needs! Otherwise, how will the world be complete?! What the world REALLY NEEDS is to just... SMILE!!! (Smiles sinisterly) Like what I did to my wife! She just keeps being annoying and negative... she was being a "NEGATIVE NANCY"!!! (Laughs) But eventually, I helped her smile! Sure, it took long... with a process that was difficult to "breathe", (Chuckles) but after that... I helped her smile through it!!!" (Laugh evilly again, looking Peter dead in the eyes) Peter: "(Shocked to learn the clown is Steven Foxx) M-MR. F-F-FOXX-X?!" Hell Clown: "You're really that shocked?! (Laughs maniacally) Well you stupid little bird... I think you just learned a lesson to never trespass into someone's property again... IF there is an "again" again! (Chuckles obnoxiously) That's your "LIFE" LESSON!!! (Laughs maniacally and positions his hatchet to kill Peter) I thought it was over at that moment. I was just... I-I was just starring onto the hatchet that Mr. Foxx was... going to kill me with!!! It looks like the rumors were true... Mr. Foxx really did kill his wife!!! What was sad was that sneaked into his house just to learn that... but it wasn't worth it!!! It only... killed us and killed me in the inside! As I thought I was dead, the police shockingly bust opened the door and arrested Mr. Foxx!!! I can see that they were shocked to see me disfigured, and the kids hanging around me! I remember that my heart finally slowed down when they showed up and I closed my eyes and fainted after the brutality I've been through! 
(4:51 PM, July 14, 2017): 
It's been around two years after that whole incident! But if it wasn't for Tim... I would have been dead!!! It turns out that after Mr. Foxx took me after knocking me out, Tim was still barely hanging on to life and he managed to take out his phone and called the police!!! But... he was only living for a matter of seconds, and he still died. I-I just feel so sorry for leaving him behind like that... this... this feeling of betrayal is still hanging on to me. I-I... I just can't with it anymore!!! So, we moved out of Grains Hill, and I was just... waiting to have a fresh new start! I of course still want to just thank Tim for the call, but well... you know. But as my family and I were done packing, we were in the car, and we were driving away, I... I saw him again!!! I see a familiar clown in a blue top hat, a yellow playful button shirt, and an orange curly hair just watching me from behind my old house... I-I don't know if I was hallucinating, but if it's real... HOW DID HE ESCAPE?!!
