"And now back to our regular scheduled programming of Unsolved Crimes. Hosted by Horton Rivers."
"A story that had rocked the nation in a storm! Incited a hysteria on a traditional holiday! On Halloween in 1998, a brutal mass murder occurred in a quiet small town of Simon Creek in Maine, United States. When authorities arrived, came an aftermath of a tale of bizarre senseless violence and a loss of some of Simon Creek High School's known students. All happening in a house of horrors. The Vanderbilt Manor. The manor was built during the times of the Puritans. As time past by, it became a well-known summer holiday house for merchants. However, it had earned a reputation when in 1889, a double murder was committed inside the home. Since then, the house has been in a state of vacancy and murder. A high profile murder occurred in 1967 with the familicide of John Vanderbilt and his family. For years, the local teenagers of Simon Creek, along with several locals would nickname the Vanderbilt Manor, calling it "The Bloody Shack."
"Despite the stories of murders and decades of being abandoned, some town youngsters would dare each other to enter the building. Due to the lack of murders, the atmosphere of the Bloody Shack was less tense. Many would still say that the house is haunted by the ghosts of the Vanderbilt family, among others. The focus of the Bloody Shack was more of a landmark to be eaten by termites, until the events of 1998 Halloween."
"At the death toll of 11 people, the night of partying at an abandoned mansion turned into terror when two murderous killers posing as teenagers wracked havoc and bloodshed on the party goers. Lily Hills, a high school student, along with April Oberlin, committed a spree killing within the old mansion. By the testimony of the only 2 survivors of this massacre, there were two murder sprees happening at once. Both had no clue that the other were planning to commit atrocities. While the motives and reasons for Lily's part in the murders are unknown, it is said that April Oberlin had already confessed her involvement towards both survivors before she had deliberately spared them. Among those killed was Lucy Gallagher, where it was explained that she was killed by basketball player Kier Leon, for reasons unknown though it could have been due to Lucy being under suspicion of being one of the killers."
"April Oberlin is currently at large to this day. After police arrived at the scene of the Bloody Shack, both of Oberlin's parents were found brutally murdered. Even after Halloween ended, there had been a string of mutilated bodies that began to crop up from the state of Maine towards neighboring states. Police have been baffled, where while they do have some confirmations that Oberlin is responsible for several confirmed victims, they are unaware to determine how she has managed to evade police during these killings."
"Today, the Bloody Shack is no more. The negative reputation established by the murder site had soured the town. After the 1999 Halloween scare, the town council along with approval from both the governor of Maine and overall public opinion had the Bloody Shack commissioned to be demolished. Emptied from it's ancient furniture and items of value possibly worth hundreds to thousands, the Bloody Shack had been destroyed via a demolition crew. When interviewed about the demolishment of the mansion, a worker had claimed the following:
"It's weird. We had to do it the hard way, because how unnaturally sturdy the place was. We had a guy in a wrecking ball to knock it down, but the walls barely budged. It was something we nearly had to demolish by hand, but at least we still managed to find ways to take it down in the end. What's uncomfortable was that we put in some explosives in the place. We thought it will help with some of our fleeting patience. However, after we detonated the explosives and the smoke cleared, the whole structure just remained standing. It was like whatever was once in the house didn't want it destroyed."
"The current whereabouts of April Oberlin are still unknown. Murders are occasionally linked to her across the Eastern United States, however due to her elusive nature, we may never know of if she's really still killing. This is Horton Rivers and another episode of Unsolved Crimes."

Party House Murders II: Curse of the Carballal Estate

Eterna Key, Florida, United States
Across the glittering waters was a single ferry, as it cruised towards the island not far from the coast of Pickering, Florida. For mostly everyone, the Eterna Key was the subject of the infamous Carballal Estate. Stories of death and despair seem to brew from it like wildfire. But for a bunch of high school kids who are enjoying their summer break, the talk about a party with a promised reward to whoever stays in the Carballal Estate the longest. The reward of money isn't new, but for many students in Pickering High School, this was coming from Scott Houghton of all people. Scott Houghton was probably one of the most infamous students in Pickering High, where even though everyone knew he was rich, due to his job being a movie director, he was a complete psychopath from his peers.
There were an abundance of incidents with Scott involved, from bullying kids to behaving violently, there was a large rumor going on that Scott's father was bribing teachers to keep him in school. When news of a party appeared with Scott trying to invite the whole school during the summer, lots of people made the smart decision of declining. Mainly most kids declined simply because the party was hosted by Scott, others because they didn't want to get into trouble, and the paranormal believers due to the stories of Carballel Estate.
However, some decided to go to the party, either by boredom or to obtain the prize that Scott promises. Now, roughly 16 teenagers were on their way to Eterna Key. The dock was getting visible, though as the island gotten closer, there was a strange vibe in the air. Was it the paranoid feeling about what happened in Carballal Estate, or was it just butterflies in the stomach?
Spencer Hopkins snapped some photos from his cameras, as he saw the island in front of him, flashes appearing in front of him, looking like some sort of tourist. Like most of the kids staying at the Carballal Estate, he brought his backpack that was meant for school, due he had already told his parents he was going to stay at the Estate for most likely overnight, like some sort of demented sleepover. Patrick Walker was reading quietly from his pocket bible, where he was whispering to himself quotes from the Bible. "We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one." Patrick whispered to himself, where he was trying to bring some comfort.
Victoria Brooks looked out of the window of the ferry, as she let out a sigh. She didn't want to do Scott's stupid party, but a lot of some other random students decided to tag along with his idea. Plus, she wanted some breathing room from her parents, since they had been trying to force her to do another tennis scholarship program, despite the fact she doesn't want to do anything related to sports. Julia Stone was reading the Goblet of Fire, which she grabbed from her backpack, among some other books she planned on reading at the Carballal Estate. Julia had read Harry Potter books before, though she was getting a bit invested in the story, seeing the book was only released a couple days ago, as the ferry was already near the dock.
A ferry worker, who helped put up the walkway to the dock, gave a rather uncomfortable looks at several of the teenagers. Spencer Hopkins noticed this, as he was carrying his stuff, though the worker didn't say a word. Leaving the ferry, Spencer saw the sight of the island in front of him. The island was almost beautiful. The mainland was still visible from Eterna Key, but the island itself looked like it belonged in a new region. Palm trees were lining the tropical forests of the island, as the calm waves splashed on the white-tan sand near the dock. There was a small road in front of the dock, where several arrows were picking left from the dock. "Inn" and "Casty Cove" were the only signs pointing left. A third arrow sign that was in a state of rot from being made out of wood was pointing the complete opposite direction. Somewhat obvious, the sign led to Carballal Estate, if one could squint and see the writing on the dilapidated sign.
It didn't seem so bad, Spencer thought. It was going to be a short walk to the Estate. Along the way, it was most likely that some people would mingle with him.
