When hobby hunter Johnny Bush from
0:01
Columbus, Nebraska first stumbled upon
0:03
the strange hole in the treeine, he was
0:05
baffled by it, but also very curious.
0:08
This could not be natural. But who would
0:09
keep this circle so perfect in the
0:11
middle of the forest and why? After some
0:13
debating, Johnny decided he just had to
0:15
go through the hole to find out the
0:17
truth. [music] But when he found out
0:18
what the hole led to, he wished that he
0:20
had just let it be. The pathway behind
0:22
the perfect hole in the treeine was
0:24
getting narrower with every step [music]
0:25
as Johnny was quickly trying to make his
0:27
way deeper into the forest. It also
0:29
started to become early quiet around it,
0:31
[music] like he was completely alone in
0:33
the woods. Then suddenly, he had reached
0:35
the end of the path. Johnny's heart
0:38
started to beat faster. [music] After
0:39
hacking away the last couple of branches
0:41
in front of his face, he finally got a
0:43
view of what the hole in the treeine had
0:45
led him to. [music] He instantly froze
0:47
up. Johnny's eyes went wide and he
0:48
started to scream for help. He could not
0:51
believe it. One thing was for sure, he
0:53
was not supposed to be here. But what
0:55
had created this strange perfect [music]
0:57
hole? What did it lead to and how did it
0:59
scare Joanie so much? Before we start,

1:08
Johnny had spent many years of his life
1:10
in these woods and assumed that he knew
1:12
them like the back of his hand. But he
1:14
would soon make a discovery that would
1:15
turn this perception upside down. A
1:17
strangely perfect circular hole in the
1:19
treeine that he could not possibly
1:21
explain. Today, Johnny had been chasing
1:23
a deer for at least an hour. It had been
1:25
the first real target worthwhile he had
1:27
seen in [music] two days of hunting. So
1:29
he was not planning on letting this one
1:31
get away from him. But the deer was not
1:32
making this easy [music] as it just kept
1:34
walking away from him. Getting into
1:36
areas of the forest Johnny had never
1:37
been in before. Finally, Johnny felt
1:39
like he had the perfect shot lined up.
1:41
He put his finger on the trigger, but
1:43
just as he was about to squeeze it, a
1:45
loud scream went through the forest.
1:48
This distracted Johnny enough to miss
1:49
his easy shot. The deer got spooked and
1:52
ran off. But Johnny saw where it was
1:54
going, but he could barely believe it at
1:55
first. [music] When the deer jolted away
1:57
after being scarred by the missed shot,
1:59
it escaped through a strange hole in the
2:01
treeine. But this was not like anything
2:03
Johnny had seen before. He had to rub
2:05
his eyes a couple times before he
2:06
believed it was real. A perfect circle
2:08
that was so large that he could jump
2:10
through it with his arms raised. How the
2:12
hell could this be here? Johnny highly
2:14
doubted that something like this could
2:16
exist in nature. So, it almost had to be
2:18
[music] man-made, Johnny thought. But by
2:20
who and why? Johnny carefully got closer
2:22
to the hole to see if he could maybe
2:24
learn some more about it. After the
2:25
strange [music] scream and the following
2:27
commotion in the forest, it had gotten
2:29
eerily quiet deep between the trees.
2:31
Ucloud probably hear a pin drop. At this
2:33
point, Johnny started by inspecting the
2:35
edges of the circle. He wanted to see if
2:37
[music] he could find any signs that
2:38
they had been recently cut into this
2:40
perfect circle. He also checked the
2:41
ground if he could find any traces of
2:43
this, but he was very surprised that he
2:45
found no evidence of this at all. From
2:47
what he could see, it was looking like
2:48
the trees had just grown into this
2:50
position naturally. The branches got
2:52
smaller the closer they got to the
2:53
opening. There was nothing on the ground
2:55
that indicated excessive cutting or
2:57
something. But that just didn't make
2:58
sense. As Johnny was [music] still
3:00
inspecting the hole, the eerily silence
3:02
was suddenly rudely disrupted by another
3:04
one of the devilish screams that had
3:06
[music] spooked him earlier. But now he
3:07
was able to pinpoint the origin of the
3:09
sound much better. It was obvious that
3:11
the scream came out of the direction of
3:12
the hole. And this was also the first
3:14
time Johnny got a bit of a better look
3:16
at what was behind the hole in the tree.
3:18
Up till now, he had only concerned
3:20
himself with the entrance itself.
3:21
[music] But there was so much more to
3:23
this strange discovery. There was a
3:25
clear pathway after the hole. It was not
3:27
nearly as wide as the hole was and
3:29
actually seemed to get quite narrow very
3:31
quickly. But this had to be the path the
3:33
deer had used to [music] escape. But by
3:35
this point, Johnny had nearly completely
3:37
forgotten about the animal. That scream,
3:40
[music] it almost sounded human this
3:41
time. Could there be people around here?
3:43
People in need, maybe they had found
3:45
this hole before him and went through to
3:47
explore. [music] But so deep into the
3:49
forest, anything could happen if you
3:50
were not experienced. What was he going
3:53
to do? Johnny felt his heart starting to
3:55
race as he prepared to step through the
3:57
home. The entire situation felt wrong,
3:59
unsettling in a way he could not quite
4:01
explain. Still, [music]
4:02
ignoring a scream that sounded human was
4:04
not something he could live with. After
4:06
a moment of hesitation, he forced
4:08
himself forward and followed the narrow
4:10
path beyond the tree line. [music] He
4:12
moved cautiously, pushing through
4:13
branches and uneven grab. The path
4:15
quickly became [music] so tight that
4:16
Johnny doubted a deer could have passed
4:18
through it. Yet, there was no other
4:20
direction the animal could have gone.
4:21
What troubled him more was the sense
4:23
that no one had used this path in a long
4:25
time. Branches were untouched, leaves
4:27
undisturbed, just like the unnaturally
4:29
perfect hole he had entered through. As
4:31
he ventured deeper, the forest grew
4:33
darker. The canopy blocked most of the
4:35
light and Johnny began questioning his
4:37
decision. No one knew where he was. He
4:40
checked his phone again, but there was
4:41
no signal, something he was used to, as
4:43
his trips often took him off the grid
4:45
for days at a time. After nearly 10
4:47
minutes of walking in silence, the
4:49
scream never returned. Johnny wondered
4:50
if he had imagined it or gone the wrong
4:52
way. Then the path began to widen. Light
4:55
filtered through the trees, revealing a
4:57
clearing ahead. What waited there
4:59
stopped him cold. An old worn-own
5:01
mansion loomed between the trees. its
5:03
presence surreal and out of place. It
5:05
looked abandoned, like something pulled
5:07
from a forgotten era or a horror story.
5:09
Johnny could not understand why a house
5:11
of this size existed [music] so deep in
5:13
the forest, far from any signs of
5:15
civilization. Yet, he was certain there
5:17
was a connection between the mansion and
5:18
the strange hole that had led him here.
5:20
He called out, hoping for a response,
5:22
but the [music] silence remained
5:23
unbroken. Every instinct told him to
5:26
turn back, but curiosity and lingering
5:28
concern pushed [music] him forward. The
5:30
front door was already open, making
5:32
entry easy, too easy. Inside, dim
5:34
sunlight filtered through dusty windows,
5:37
revealing a hallway that had aged but
5:38
remained surprisingly intact. The
5:41
structure was not in the state of
5:42
[music] collapse Johnny had expected.
5:44
That only deepened his unease. If the
5:46
building was still standing [music] this
5:47
well, did that mean someone had been
5:49
maintaining it? Johnny tightened his
5:51
grip on his rifle. If someone was here,
5:53
[music] he needed answers. Armed and
5:55
alert, he continued deeper into the
5:57
house. He checked the kitchen first.
5:59
searching for any sign of recent
6:01
activity. Cabinets and drawers were
6:03
empty. There was no food, no water,
6:05
nothing that suggested anyone lived here
6:07
or had for years. Other rooms told the
6:09
same [music] story. The mansion felt
6:11
frozen in time, preserved but abandoned.
6:14
Nearly an hour passed as [music] Johnny
6:15
explored, his questions growing rather
6:18
than shrinking. Then he reached a
6:19
[music] small office tucked away from
6:21
the main rooms. Even before he opened
6:23
the door to the office, he already
6:24
noticed something that caught his
6:26
attention. There seemed to be some light
6:28
coming from under the door, but not just
6:30
sunlight. It looked warmer and moved
6:32
around a bit, like something was
6:33
flickering. [music] When Johnny opened
6:35
the door, his eyes went wider, and in
6:37
his mind, all the theories about nobody
6:39
having been in this house in years went
6:41
out the window. The office had no
6:42
windows. [music] The warm glow filling
6:44
the room came from several lit candles
6:46
placed around the space. Johnny froze.
6:49
Most of the candles were still intact,
6:51
meaning they had been lit recently.
6:53
Someone had been here. His attention
6:55
shifted to the desk. [music] Lying there
6:56
was an old newspaper. Johnny immediately
6:59
recognized the black and white image on
7:00
its front page. It showed the same
7:02
mansion he was standing [music] in, but
7:04
in pristine condition. He scanned the
7:06
page and found the date. The paper was
7:08
over 30 years old. As he read, Johnny
7:11
realized he had stumbled upon a place
7:12
with a disturbing past. The mansion had
7:14
been built around 1,950
7:17
by a reclusive millionaire rumored to be
7:19
losing his mind. Years later, the
7:22
[music] truth emerged. The man had
7:23
chosen isolation not for peace, but to
7:25
indulge in horrific acts hidden from
7:28
[music] society. The secret only came
7:30
out because a young boy had managed to
7:31
escape and report everything to the
7:33
police. The millionaire was arrested
7:35
shortly after, and the house was
7:37
abandoned. The article referred to it as
7:39
the devil's house, left untouched due to
7:41
its history and remote location. Yet,
7:43
the lit candles and [music] maintained
7:45
interior suggested someone had returned.
7:47
As Johnny searched the room for clues, a
7:49
loud creaking [music] sound echoed above
7:51
him. Before he could react, something
7:53
crashed down from the ceiling. Johnny
7:55
dove aside [music] just in time as a
7:56
ladder fell to the floor. Above it, a
7:59
hatch stood open. Someone was up there.
8:01
Johnny climbed the ladder and made his
8:03
way toward the upper balcony he had seen
8:05
earlier. When he reached it, he realized
8:07
he was not alone. A man sat there,
8:09
partially covered by a blanket, staring
8:11
out into the forest. The man did not
8:13
turn around until Johnny called out.
8:15
When asked who he [music] was, the man
8:16
finally faced him and introduced himself
8:18
as Matthew. The name struck Johnny
8:20
immediately. Matthew was the boy
8:22
mentioned in the article, the one who
8:23
had escaped the mansion decades earlier.
8:25
When Johnny asked for confirmation,
8:27
Matthew simply nodded. Matthew explained
8:29
that he had tried to forget what
8:30
happened here, but something always
8:32
pulled him [music] back. He could not
8:33
stay inside the house for long without
8:35
reliving the memories. Yet, he could
8:37
never fully leave. Over [music] time, he
8:38
had kept the forest entrance
8:40
deliberately noticeable, hoping someone
8:42
would find it and come through. [music]
8:43
Johnny realized with horror that he was
8:45
that person. Matthew admitted he was
8:47
lonely and did not want Johnny to leave.
8:49
As Johnny stepped [music] back in fear,
8:51
he nearly triggered a rope trap. Matthew
8:53
moved toward him and Johnny reacted
8:55
instinctively. He ran forward and jumped
8:57
over the edge of the balcony, landing on
8:59
the roof. He tried to carefully slide
9:01
down, but ended up with a lot of bruised
9:03
and [music] friction burns. But he made
9:05
it down and started running for his
9:06
life. Calling the police, a eventually
9:08
managed to make it back to a party in
9:10
the forest where he had a phone signal
9:12
and quickly called the police to report
9:14
what was happening in the old house.
9:15
They promised they would look into it,
9:17
but to this [music] day, Johnny still
9:19
doesn't know if they ever did. Johnny
9:20
never went back to that part of the
9:22
forest again and even stopped hunting
9:24
for a couple months [music] as he was so
9:25
startled by the whole thing. Every time
9:27
he knows sees a homeless man on the
9:29
street, his heart nearly stops as he
9:30
fears it might be Matthew. But up until
9:32
today, he has not seen him
