Full version finished, Ik its basically a retelling of the movie sinister, but from the first person perscpective. But I worked hard on this. Hope you enjoy it!


"Isnt this fun kids?" I said to my children as we carried moving boxes into our new house. "Its a brand new start, a new school, a new place, this house feels better than our old one". My son rolled his eyes without saying anything.


"I liked our old house better, daddy." said my daughter, Emily.


"Well honey, thats what everyone thinks in the beginning, but it will get better" I said


"You promise, daddy?" she asked


"I Promise, sweetheart."



I begin looking around my new house, I notice in the backyard there is a broken branch. I think to myself "I wonder how that happened?" The branch was big enough that it couldn't have been the wind, and the cut was clean enough that It didnt look like lightning had caused it. I shrugged it off like it was nothing and went on my way. After a long day of driving I decided a nap was in order. I slept for 3 hours and awoke to my daughter asking for paint. I get out of bed searching the boxes and find some Crayola brand paint. Being the parentrs that we are, my wife and I allowed her to express herself by painting on her bedroom wall. She drew unicorns and slightly eerie looking children holding balloons. I complimented her on her great work then walked into my office. My wife comes in and says


"The police are here, they would like to have a word with you."


"Again? This is gonna be good"


I walk outside and find 3 police cars, The sheriff walks up to me and says



"We dont take a liking to your kind in our town. You make us cops look bad"


"I write the truth sir, the real cases, the unsolved and unjustified, it is not my fault that you cannot finish your cases to the end."


"We'd prefer if you left our town as soon as possible" he said


"Bite me, It is my freedom to live in this town sir and I will do as i please" I said


"Dont expect help from the police if you come under any trouble"


"I dont plan on it" I said


I am a writer of the famous book "Kentucky Blood" Which was about the murders in kentucky that had gone unsolved and I may have done some smallb bad mouthing of the police... but never mind that. I walk back inside and sit down in the kitchen. My wife comes in and says


"Please dont tell me you said anything to harsh the the officer"


"Of course not." I said lying thru my teeth


"Good" She paused "Honey, Im worried. About this, about our lives, It just doesnt feel right."


"Its gonna be perfect, I will have the inspiration for my writing right here, everything i need"


"Dear god ellison, Please dont tell me we moved right down the street from another gruesome murder."


"Honey look at me, I would never do that again, I promise you" I said


She smiled and departed from the kitchen, I went back to my office and began to do some work and research for my new book. I look at the clock, boy time flies, its already midnight.


I walk out into the kitchen and grab a glass of water, I see some boxes not yet put away, so I decide to bring them into the attic. As I ascend up the steps to the attic with loud creeks, I hear footsteps near me, but think nothing of it. I enter the attic, I look down and see a scorpian scurry across my shoe. Surprised and frightened I crush it with the heavy boxes. I look into the darkness of the attic and find a box of tapes and a movie projector. I think to myself "Hell i have nothing else to do, I might as well see what some of the movies are" I walk downstairs to my office. I blow off the dust from the projector and plug it in. I read the labels on the tapes. The read the following:


Hanging with the family '67


BBQ '74


Pool party '84


Sleepy time '92


A night in the yard '99


"hmmmmmm" I think. Might aswell start from the beginning, I put in "Hanging with the family" I decide I should take notes and see if there may be any links to the murders in this house. I take out my notepad, load on the first film pour myself a drink of whiskey and sit back and watch. The video starts with a family, a father and son playing football, while one daughter plays on a tire swing and the other sits in the grass chatting with the mother. I write down on my notepad "Who is filming this?" The video goes on for about 5minutes and takes a sudden and extremely disturbing turn. The video cuts out and opens to a 4 people, bags over heads and nooses around their neck. They are tied to the very same branch I had seen earlier... a unseen power grabs the axe and begins to cut the branch, as the branch lowers the 4 people begin risings, the branch is cut completely and the family is about 15 feet off the ground, struggling to breath. I watch horrified at what I am seeing. I continue watching until the last person stops struggling. The video cuts off and I sit there completely speechless to what I've just seen.


Quickly I undo the tape put it back in the box and go to sleep. I am unable to sleep the whole night. By 3:28am I realize there is no way I will be able to get to sleep, so I open the projector back up. I look at BBQ, terrified to know what it is, yet curious... I pop it in, get another glass of whiskey to settle my nerves and begin to watch. It starts out with a family, The 2 sons are fishing while the father cooks and the mother supervises the children. Everything is happy go lucky, as i expected everything took a turn for the worst. The video cuts away and comes back to the a car. Everything has turned dark and eerie. One dim glowing light, illuminates the car. Chains lock the entire car, preventing the doors from being opened. The camera pans to the windows where the family is seen half asleep locked in duct tape and rope. 3 out of the 4 family members are seen, one son is missing. The video pans to the front of the car where a religious satanic looking cult symbol is painted on. The maker of the video proceeds to Throw a molotov cocktail into the car, muffled screams are heard, just barely. The video cuts off after about 3 minutes of burning. I sat there in complete shock. It is 5:30am, I take 3 big swigs from the whiskey bottle, eventually finising it and passing out on the floor. I wake up to my daughter yelling at my wife in the other room...



"We gave you the privilage of drawing on ur walls, but you abused it!"


"NO MOMMY, YOU SAID I COULD PAINT ANYTHING!"


"Not this! This is depressing and vial!"


I walk out to the hallway and ask what is wrong.


"Your daughter painted this on the wall!"


I look over to see a picture of 4 hanging bodies. Terrified, I reprimand my daughter and tell her to go to her room. I go into my office and look over at the projector. I think to myself, "I need to see more, this book I write could make me millions!" I look back at the two tapes I have already watched and reanalyze them. I check for anything hinting to the monster who may have done this, I recorded the videos with my camcorder and uploaded them to my computer so I could watch them frame by frame. I search thru Hanging with the family 25 times, the images burned into my memory.



UPDATE 7-16-2008


I took a short break then watched it one more time. Thats when I saw it. The face. This face was the face of no mortal being, but a demon of some sort. It was horrific... this was what I saw....I will speak to you tomorrow, I am too distressed to talk right now...

Update 7-20-2008


Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! You are not going to believe this. This is some creepy **** up **** shit, excuse my cussing but I have absolutely NO WORDS for what I have seen within the past couple of days...


I will try my best to explain what has happened...


So I gave myself a night to think about things, get everything together then make a plan for how I will endure the next couple videos. I planned out I will search for that face you have just seen, as well as contacting the polices to pullup some records of these murders. I refuse to turn these tapes in yet. This is my big break as a writer with VISUAL evidence. I could make Millions of this book alone. I am not leaving this house until this book has been finished.


I begin the first night searching for the face in the BBQ video. I recorded it with my camcorder, uploaded it to my computer, then frame by frame looked thru until I found it. As previously thought, I eventually found it. Lurking in the shadows. This one seemed more menacing then the last, instilling more fear and terror into my bones. I ventured on to the last 3 videos... I will give a brief synopsis of each, for it is hard for me to even recall what happened in each.


Pool Party: Family playing in pool, filmed by unknown man. Night fall comes, video cuts out and comes back to all family members being tied up to lawnchairs, and each pulled into the pool, drowning every single one. Unknown face is seen in reflection of the pool. No face seen


Sleepy time: Family is asleep at night, unknown man filming. Man walks into room where a man and woman are tied up with a dog barking. Man pulls out knife, slits both throats. And abducts child from other room. Demonic symbol seen, No face seen.


A night in the yard: By far the most disturbing of all. Man filming walks over to lawn mower, turns it on, begins mowing lawn. Suddenly out of nowhere a human is in the yard, tied down along the path of the lawn mower. I jump out of my seat and cover my eyes. The inevidible has happened, you can fill in the blank. No face seen


I begin to venture thru my house in the darkness, I dont realize the time. I figure I should go to sleep. Nothing eerie has happened, yet...


Update 7-21-2008




****. Seriously. Family is asleep during the night, I nearly go to my bed when I hear loud footsteps within the hallway. An unkown box appears in the doorway to the kitchen. Curious, I approach it cautiously. Suddenly springs out my sun screeching with a tone unlike I have ever heard before. Arched back, demonic look on his face. I pull him from the box and shake him vigurously. My wife awakens and sees my son in my arms, frightened to death


"He must've had a night terror" she said


I nod to her. Although delirious, he turns out to be find and we all go to sleep. After watching those videos, I am coming to some other weird conclusions except "night terrors" but whatever.


Update 7-23-2008


I found something... Something... terrifyingly interesting. Upon seeing it, I nearly passed out. I nearly tore down my entire office. I checked the lid of the box in which the projector came in... written in thick black permanent marker is each movie murder in stick figures. Featured in every single one was an extra person, the unknown man I have been seeing in every single video. It was referred as "The Boogieman". I sat there in disbelief then began checking the videos, in each one the boogieman's position corresponded with where I saw him. I could not take this anymore. This was too eerie... but I thought again, how nice my life would be with all the extra money I would get if I made this into a book. My wife apparently snuck into my office and seen what is happening, now she understands why our children have been acting so weird. She demanded that we leave the house, She also began reparmanding me for lying to her about the house not being a murder site. I begin to yell and explain that If she wants to live the good life,we have to just stay here and deal with our problems later. She reluctantly agrees.


Update 7-27-2008


I contacted a professional to analyze my pictures I had taken from the videos. A Professor of the name Jason Byrd. He tells me the symbol that I have been seeing is part of a demon, Bagul. Bagul is an ancient demon that christians had feared, for he abducted children. He would abduct and devour the souls of the children he caught. It is thought that Bagul lives in the images themselves, and upon seeing the videos, it acts as a gateway to our realm. Allowing him to stalk, capture, and in turn have said child kill entire families. This is more real than I have ever imagined.


Update 7-30-2008


Im done. IM **** DONE WITH THIS BOOK, MOVIES, AND EVERYTHING. So last night my son had gone missing, scared shitless I had no idea what to do, I went to my office and paced around thinking. I look out the window momentarily and thats when I saw it... My son in the bushes, with Bagul right behind him. The face looked unearthly, with long greasy hair. I grabbed my bat and ran outside. I search the bushing, I find my son, terrified but okay, I search for the demonic sonuvabitch but I could not find him. It was like he was playing games with me. This was the last straw. I grab the videos and projector and toss them into the fire pit. I grab all the lighter fluid I can find and set the damn thing ablaze, I yell to my wife to grab the kids, and pack the car with only the essentials. She asked why but I did not respond for I was ina trance staring into the relentless fire. I breakdown crying softly, but manage to pull it together and jump into the car. As we drive down the rural streets of Pennsylvania. I realize im speeding profusely, before having a chance to slow down, the sheriff clocks me and sets on his sirens roaring.



He comes up to the car and says "Whatta big surprise"


"Yes sheriff, Im doign what you told me, to get the hell out of your town" I replied


Guiltily he says "You didnt happened to be bullied out of town were ya? I wouldnt want that lying on my concience"


"No" I say. Its for other reasons


He smiles "Good then I dont feel bad about giving you this" as he hands me a parking ticket.


"Thank you officer" I say politely


"Goodnight to yall"


We speed down the road, eventually arriving at our old house (In which I am writing this from now) I had a goodnights sleep and everything is behind me.


Update 8-1-2008


This is driving me insane. So remember those tapes I burned? well I went into my attic....There they were....Promptly in the same box... same writing... same everything. I kicked the box out of frustration and spot an envelope. It reads "Extended Cut". Fearfully, I put the tape in the projector, turn it on and hit play.What I saw cannot be unseen. It was all the movies compiled into one, in each one though... there was a child....the child that had gone missing. Each child would walk soulessly up to the camera and put their fingers up to their lips... as if shushing the viewer, then scampering off. took the projector and threw it against the wall. I do not know what to do. Im sick of this. Please someone save me. I plea.
