Four teens who wanted to explore the vacant spots in their neighborhood as a project disappeared the hope of one. Naomi and Pippa were the two girls in the group, followed by Max and Sal, the two boys. They were all sixteen, but Naomi was seventeen. They all met simultaneously, but in the end, they all came together but didn't leave together—Pippa wasn't talkative. Max is a caring, kind person, Sal is a bully but becomes better, and Naomi is the perfect mix of Max and Pippa.
Pippa and Max met in the seventh grade. They immediately clicked. Pip never really talked as she had terrible anxiety about all the trauma she had in her past life as she lost both her parents. Pippa got bullied a lot, being known as the kid who didn't have parents. One day, Max moved into her school and saw her sitting alone as those bullies came across her. Max knew he couldn't let that happen as he lost his mom at a very young age, and it was hurtful as well. He began to protect her and help her cope with all her trauma, which made her open up more and get into the creepy abandoned spots known in their area.
They had met Sal in eighth grade. Sal had just moved, and he was already famous. He never had a problem fitting into the new school he just did. Sal knew that if he were just the new kid, it would hurt his confidence as he had shallow faith that his parents weren't the most fantastic in the world. He became famous for bullying another one, Pippa. He didn't know that Pippa would change his life in a heartbeat. One day, Pippa came up to him, saying she forgave him as she saw his hurt eyes, and that was when Sal knew he was done with being famous. They all hit freshman year when they ran into Naomi. Naomi was a shy but caring person. She met Pippa in the hallway as they were both running late for class and decided to ask if she could join lunch with Pippa. Of course, Pippa agreed. Naomi never really connected with people in school. She mostly kept to herself, fearing being made fun of because of her mother. As she sat at the lunch table, she knew these were her friends.
All four friends stayed throughout high school, and it was senior year. They had a historical project for a final grade in senior year, but it had to be proven. Max knew it had to have many articles or pictures, and Pip knew where they would go—the devil's house. The only problem is they didn't know how much would happen in those few months and soon beg to start over. Pip told everyone to join her in her home, and that's when they saw all the proven stuff they needed, or so they thought. These were the articles Pippa had.
The house on Elm Street
This house on Elm is what people like to call the devil's house. Many traumatizing families have lost their lives, and no one dares to walk in again. Many secrets were hidden as the house was built and even before. In the early 1900s, many gang and drug deals were on the property. A lot of deaths have been committed in the area, and everyone just left it alone. There were over 400 deaths on the parcel before the house was even built.
They would leave the area alone and keep it peaceful, but the wealthiest real estate agent, Agatha, had a different idea. She hid the crimes as she began building the house as the haunted layer came alive. As Agatha started to set up the house, she noticed weird things happening while she was there. One day, people were passing by, shaking their heads as they saw the home built, but soon screamed when they saw Agatha hanging from the side of the house dead.
No one realized this was only one of many tragedies in and outside this house. As more real estate agents came around, one out of the other got the home for sale without going missing, or so everyone thought. As the first family moved in, we found all the missing real estate people 2 miles away from the house, but they only connected until years later.
Everyone had looked into everything, and only three articles in Pippa's stash could prove why this house had been haunting families. They decided as Pippa got her piece, they would try to look online for even more.
The Devil House
One more tragedy in 1975: A family of 6. The kids were all a year apart, 8, 9, 10, and 11. They played in the front yard while their parents were inside making dinner. As their parents returned, the boys were nowhere to be found. Everyone was extremely concerned as they thought the four boys were kidnapped. It was devastating as the mother took it extremely hard.
The mother soon began claiming she heard the voices of her children saying they were gone. The husband believes the wife had gone hysterical after losing her only children. The mother started screaming, saying her kids were with her; she soon went into a hospital.
After three weeks of looking for the children, a strange woman appeared around the house. Everyone thought the husband had a new woman after his wife went, but the father claimed he never knew that woman and why she was near the house. She didn't move from the one area where she was seen; as people asked her, she would look but not say a word. One day, she said one word: “ Mother”.
The father ran to his wife and found out she had killed herself, but on her wall said backyard woods. The father went to the police and immediately asked if they could check the woods at the back of the house. They went and found the kids buried in the woods and blamed the father, as he knew randomly where the kids could be. He was under arrest for the murder of his kids, but one thing he wondered was where the lady at the house had gone. The father later died in jail due to being beaten by other prisoners for killing his children.
The following article would make them rethink the whole idea, but Pip believed it was the truth of the house.

The ghost of the house
The house on Elm, when the first family tragedy happened, she was there and began to show up every single time. In the family of 1975, the father had called to see this woman, and many others have as well, and that she was the cause, but she had disappeared as the tragedy was solved. This lady was called the tragedy lady. If you saw her, someone had died. As the tragedy of the four boys went missing, the father was convinced that it was this lady, but no one claimed to have seen her before the children went missing. He began the name of the tragic lady.
If you ever saw this lady, you need to start praying, or someone is going to die in disturbing ways. Most people believe it's just a neighbor wanting fame, but many think this is the most haunted Elm, and there is no escaping.
As Naomi looked through all the articles, she knew this wouldn't be enough proof to see if it was haunted. Pippa said she had more stuff in the basement if we needed more evidence. She even has the interview of the police report during the last tragedy. Max had spoken up, saying he had some articles he brought from home if they would like them as well, and for the next hour, that's what they spent their time on. Here are the interviews and articles they had.
Scott L. police interview
Today is Tuesday, Nov 5th,1995, at 5:30 pm. I'm interviewing Scott L. about the incident on Elm Street involving the destruction of the surrounding property.
Lt: Nolan: So, tell me what happened
Scott: There was an earthquake; why am I here
Lt. Nolan: It didn't hit the house in front of you, but it hit yours and was way worse than any earthquake I've ever seen.
Scott: Well, I don't know what you need from me
Lt.Nolan: I want information
Scott: I do not have any
Lt. Nolan: Just tell me what you know
Scott: I don't know anything; why aren't you asking —-----
Lt.Nolan: We found a lab in your house
Scott: I’m a scientist, that's nothing
Lt.Nolan: What kind of scientist are you
Scott: I work for octamer. Im a pathologist
Lt.Nolan: Why does a pathologist need an industrial barrel of propane fuel
Scott: It’s for heating things
Lt. Nolan: The area wasn't clean enough, plus there were trace amounts of methamphetamine in those tubes
Scott: I don't know anything about that.
Lt.Nolan: Scott, you’re looking at 25 years in prison. Tell me what I need to know, and we can discuss it in a shorter sentence.
Scott: I don't know anything, I swear.
Lt.Nolan: Then I need to learn more about helping you. You got to help me so I can help you.
Scott Lane remains silent for a few seconds.
Scott: I was cooking meth for a street gang. They promised me 35% of whatever they made that didn't cause an earthquake.
Lt.Nolan: So you telling me it blew up but didn't cause that with how much you had or made can make a big explosion; what I don't understand is how the house in front of you was untouched; the family —------ was unharmed completely, so tell me, Scott
Scott: That house is tragic, so I don't know why it wasn't harmed; it's like it hurts only the people like ——————————.
Lt.Nolan: Your court will be soon, but now you will stay in prison.
Pippa said, “ I know this doesn't prove it haunted, but this neighbor believed in this, and how come that was the only house not hit by this earthquake? It’s weird”. Naomi approached Max, grabbed the paper, and prayed this would show more.
The last tragedy the house will live
This horrible tragedy ruined a newly-born family. A pregnant woman and her husband, “ The Smiths,” had moved in to live in a “nice” neighborhood for their children, but they didn't realize how much it would change their lives.
As the Smiths moved in, they realized none of their pictures came out clearly, as you can see. Their faces are always distorted. As the family had gotten comfortable, they had begun to get ready for their child to be born; Ms. Smiths had started having problems with the pregnancy. They had lost their baby due to complications during the labor. They were both crushed as they couldn't believe the baby was gone.
They had become very distant from their neighbor and refused to leave the home. They were very depressed, and nobody could help them. The mother began to be more mobile, seeing leaving the house, but the father was never seen until the day he passed.
Two weeks as the mother goes back and forth from the house, one day, we see the father hanging out on the porch just sitting. As the mother exited the house, she looked distressed until she returned, and there were ambulances everywhere. The mother had come home to the father hanging from her ceiling; she was worried about leaving him home because she noticed something was off, but she knew they needed food. The father had written a note of why he did it on the stress of losing the baby and feeling like he had lost touch with the world. He didn't want to live without his baby girl, but he didn't realize he was leaving his other girl. The mother was in complete shock as she read this letter and became even worse than she was; soon later, she went into a mental hospital due to her feeling of lost connection and her drug addiction.
After she went two months later, she killed herself to be with her husband and baby girl. This family had a horrible time living inside this home and didn't live out their life to be the happy family they wanted.
As these friends looked through all the articles and paperwork, they decided to work on the project, and as the day came, Pippa was the only one who presented it. Now, they are getting more proof by going over to the house and spending two weeks there, and as she edited the video and began putting the pieces together, this is what her classmates saw/heard.
Pippa Article
We have many resources that can prove that this very house is haunted. We have a picture, an article, and a video of the house. We had caught many things on camera for two weeks in that house. We researched living residents of living family members who claimed they never showed any sign of mental health issues.
As we began residing inside the house, we realized how tragic it was, and I believed this house needed to be shut down before anyone else got hurt like Sam, Naomi, and Max. Max was put in jail for Naomi's death, and Sam got put into a mental hospital as the house was just too much for him. Here is the video I got inside the house as we entered it.
