Trekking
A Canadian man was trekking in the wilderness one evening when he came across a spooky-looking house. The place was entirely terrifying, forsaken, and dark. However, this didn’t stop the man’s curiosity to find out more about what was in the house.

Bravery
Would you consider yourself brave enough to approach a house like this? In most instances, people would run the other way. It seemed as though it had been abandoned for quite a while, but this didn’t stop the man from inspecting it.
Bravery
Unbothered
Nothing about the house’s appearance seemed to worry the man. He was seemingly unbothered and decided to enter the house without a moment’s hesitation. The scene he saw after entering raised plenty of questions about the previous home’s tenants.
Unbothered
The First Room
One of the first rooms the man entered was a bedroom. In this room, there was a cot with dirty sheets and broken springs nestled in the corner. The scene was terrifying and it made the man wonder who could have been the last person to sleep under the sheets.
The First Room
Not Aged Well
It looked as though the house was not aged well. The wood present under the door frames was crumbling while the paint appearing on the walls was also peeling. It wasn’t clear how long someone has tended to its upkeep.
Not Aged Well
The Wood-Burning Stove
The house had a wood-burning stove, which proved that the property was ancient. There was a rusted insignia located in the middle of the blue tile, which looked like a radioactive symbol. Everything about this house was eerie and strange.

The Staircase
The man also encountered one staircase and the images were shocking. You certainly needed to be a brave soul to have the courage to walk up the stairs. Not only did the staircase look weak, but it also led to something even more creepy.
The Staircase
Many Rooms
The property had many different rooms. The rooms had doors that the man would pass through. However, each time he passed through one of the doors, he didn’t know what he could expect. Luckily, he found that the home was empty.
Many Rooms
Cover as Much Ground as Possible
The brave man wanted to cover as much ground as he could, but he wanted to do it as quickly as possible. Of course, nobody was in the home, but that didn’t mean it was going to remain like that all night.
Cover As Much Ground As Possible
From a Horror Movie
The picture displayed below looks like it can straight from a horror film. From these images, you can see something dripping down the walls. Thankfully, these strains were only from water damage, but it was still incredibly creepy to see.

The Windows
You might have thought that someone would have boarded up the windows. However, that wasn’t the case, as all of the windows on the property were broken. The glass from these windows was scattered across the floor, which was a worrying sight.
The Windows
Roofing Shingles
Shingles from the property’s room were stacked in numerous rooms. It looked as though someone was preparing to return to the home at any moment. Did someone plan on renovating the home at some point? It didn’t seem like there was anything left to repair.

The Lower Level
More stairs led to the lower level of the home. However, anyone who has watched any scary movies knows that you should stay far away from any ominous basements. It’s asking for trouble to travel down to the dark abyss.
The Lower Level
The Attic
The last place that the man decided to explore was the house’s attic. Once he peered into the eerily vacant space, he realized that it was finally time to high-tail his mission and get out of the home as quickly as possible. He already had enough of a story to tell.
The Attic
A Terrifying Ordeal
Even though the home was creepy, there wasn’t anyone in the home. This was a lucky break, but another man from New York didn’t have the same experience. He had a terrifying ordeal that could have come differently from a horror movie.

Asking for Help
Adam decided that it was time to ask his landlord for help. He took a tall ladder to meet his landlord and opened the hatch of the attic above the stairs. However, he didn’t find anything except for an old marble.

Gathering More Evidence
He wished to gather more evidence, so he downloaded an app that was designed to take pictures from his phone every minute. After this, he set up his phone next to his bed and decided to sleep. He woke up the next day to find some shocking photos.

Having the Evidence
When he decided to take look through the photos, he saw a little demonic boy watching over him while he was sleeping. The boy was Dear David, which was even more shocking to Adam. He continued to look through the photos to see if the boy was in any others.
