The first sitting

4:45 pm

Simon Wagner sat at one of the chairs at the big round table inside of the Great Hall.

"I am now ready. Please turn the lights down low I will need some darkness in order to be able to work."

Professor Vladimir winded up the old phonograph and spoke into the microphone as the room went quiet.

"It is now 4:45 p.m." he said, " this is our first sitting at the Belasco house with Mr Simon Wagner as our medium."

Simon was very quiet for a few minutes and then he began to speak in a very strange voice, “Greetings from the land beyond life." He said, "I am Alim high priest to Pharaoh Khaba."

'Mr Wagner spirit guide is an ancient Egyptian.' Thought Vivian, ' very fascinating.'

"Greetings to you Alim," said Professor Vladimir as he held the microphone near Simon, " what can you tell us about this house?"

"This house is very dangerous, like a hungry Crocodile. You must leave immediately. This place is a lot like a land of Osiris."

Simon gasped.

"Someone is coming... a giant man... he wants to talk immediately..."

Simon's voice changed again to a much deeper tone.

"Welcome to my house. I'm glad that you come."

"Who am I addressing now?" Asked professor Vladimir.

"I am Emeric Belasco. The master of Hell House, or rather I once was."

"Please explain, what happened to you? Your body was never found in many people believe that you are still alive."

"Well professor all started when I had this house built back in 1919. I heard rumors from some of the local people that the land was unclean but I did not listen to them because I didn't believe them. Over the years strange things begin to happen why didn't seem to be anything serious at first. But in the year 1929 is when things really got nasty. A plague had hit this house and two doctors were staying with me had no idea where it came from. I suspected that made in the atmosphere outside so I picked up the windows as a precaution."

"What happened next?" Asked professor Vladimir.

"All the guests and servants when absolutely crazy. The guests all began to **** and **** each other. Some of them even 8 each others flesh and drank each other's blood."

Simon grunted.

"I hid in one of the rooms for several days until eventually I died of dehydration."

"What caused all this?" Asked Vivian.

"There is a demon living here on this property. It may even be the devil himself."
