Abandoned Swamp

*"You think he might've gone to that house?"
"Nah... If he did, he'd be dead..."*
―Luis and DeAndre[src]
The **Abandoned Swamp** is a terrifying private property located within Orlando, Florida. The wrecked household originally belonged to an elderly couple, before being inhabited by an Ogre.

## History

### Overtaken By Ogres

*"That place is abandoned! How's it a crime if no-one is using it?!"
"It was a private area. Abandoned or not, it belongs to someone and you broke in without permission."*
―Jason Bermudez and the Melston High School Principal[src]

The property originally belonged to an elderly couple that hung up several pictures of themselves in the wooden household. Sometime later, the elderly couple moved out, leading the private property to be left behind. Despite the property's dereliction, the Orlando Government concluded that it still belonged to someone, so they put up a sign outside the entrance to the property, hoping to prevent trespassers from entering the private property without permission. The private property soon became inhabited by a terrifying Class-V Raysnipe Ogre, who claimed the old house for itself. While inhabiting the house, the Ogre would bring back dead alligators and eat them during late nights.

### Jason Bermudez's Visit

*"After they left, I noticed the creepy house they were talking about... I decided to check it out. I ran home after that. I told my mom about it... obviously she thought I was making things up."
"Did you tell anyone at school?"
"No. I knew if I told anyone about what I saw, they would think I'm weird or something."*
―Jason and Lily Moser[src]

When Jason Bermudez prevailed to escape Raymond Floyd, he entered the disgusting swamp, despite trespassing being strictly prohibited. Jason hid behind some swamp vines, hoping to deceive DeAndre and Luis, who were sent by Ray to stop him. When Luis questioned the possibility that Jason was hiding inside the swamp's private property, DeAndre concluded he wasn't, saying that he would be dead if he ever went there. Both DeAndre and Luis were then punished by Ray due to them unfortunately losing Jason, before leaving the swamp. Jason continued to remain in his hiding spot, until he was certain that Ray and his scummy henchmen had left.

Having heard what Luis and DeAndre said before regarding the private property, Jason decided to check out the place himself. Unfortunately, when Jason went up to the window, he caught a glimpse of the terrifying Ogre that resided within the discarded household. Becoming scared by the Ogre, Jason screamed, before quickly escaping the property, as well as the swamp altogether. Sometime later, Jason returned home to the Bermudez Residence to tell his mother what he saw, but she came to believe that Jason was making up the whole story.

### Second Trespassing

*"Trespassing, disturbing the peace, and damaging private property?! This will not be taken kindly, this was an offensive! A CRIME!"*
―The Melston High School Principal to the *Shrekbusters*[src]

Several years later, Jason hoped to confront his terrifying past, and decided to return to the private property with Daniel Coleman and Alex Rainsford, so they could catch a glimpse of the Ogre. The three concluded to go during the nighttime so they could enter the private property unsuspectedly. Daniel became paranoid that they would get busted for trespassing the property, but he was convinced by Jason to continue joining him and Alex as they entered the discarded household.

While looking at all the old stuff inside the house, Alex realized that the fireplace was lit, prompting him to believe that something was present within the building. The group then started to smell a very putrid odor that was coming from another room. Peeking through a doorway, the three spied on the terrifying Ogre that they were looking for, as it disgustingly ate an alligator on a wooden table. Jason hoped to have the three of them be quiet so they could observe the Ogre without it knowing.

Unfortunately, Daniel sneezed, leading the Ogre to discover the three watching him. Alex told Jason to try and communicate with the Ogre, hoping this would provoke some friendly results. Unfortunately, this led the Ogre to start slowly coming towards them. Believing this would lead to their deaths, Jason, Daniel, and Alex chickened out, before rushing back through the forest and outside the private property. Unfortunately, just when they thought things couldn't get worse, they were ultimately busted by Officer Trenten, who escorted them back to their respective homes. Some information regarding the infiltration was eventually reported to the Melston High School Principal, who decided to expel the three for their crimes.
