As the family's car winds its way through the rugged terrain, Enix can't help but feel a sense of excitement building inside him. This trip to Majayjay has been in the works for weeks, and he's thrilled to finally be on his way.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8leWFUHmW
But as the morning wears on and the road grows increasingly narrow and rough, Enix begins to feel a sense of unease growing within him. The scenery may be beautiful, but the feeling of isolation and abandonment is palpable. It's almost as if they are the only ones left in the world, driving through this forgotten corner of the country.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK476fcmc5
As the car approaches a particularly steep and winding section of the road, Enix's unease turns to outright fear. He can feel the wheels slipping and sliding on the rough terrain, and he knows that one wrong move could send them tumbling down the mountain. His heart races as he grips the edge of his seat, praying that they'll make it through this perilous journey unscathed.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWV4byjvkL
Enix's father had always been a practical man, and the low price of the house in Majayjay had been too good of a deal to pass up. They had spent many summers in the city, suffocating in the polluted air of Manila, and he had been eager for a change of scenery.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm5c2APPbq
So when the opportunity to purchase a vacation home in the province presented itself, he had jumped at the chance. The fresh air and beautiful surroundings of Majayjay seemed like the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.

As the family arrived at their new vacation home, Enix couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. The house was charming, with a wrap-around porch and a sprawling garden. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the countryside.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHe7okadk2
After the long drive, the family was happy to finally be able to rest and settle into their new vacation home. As they explored the house, they were pleased to find that it was spacious and comfortable, with three bedrooms and a wrap-around porch.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqxIpBpFtv
But as the mother went to inspect the terrace, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The metal bars that surrounded it were shut tight, with no visible fire escape. It was as if the house was trying to trap them inside.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Kq1D3gFN
Despite her misgivings, the mother couldn't help but be drawn to the deep well in the garden. It was a beautiful feature, and she knew it would be a great source of fresh water for the family.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5Jhc7buZA
As they sat down to rest, the mother turned to her husband and asked him the question that had been on her mind. "Why was this house sold at such a low price? It doesn't make sense."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vUA2zkFmZ
The husband hesitated for a moment before responding to his wife's question. "I'm not sure," he said, "but I heard that the former owner was in a real hurry to sell this place. They needed the money, and they were planning on moving to another country. I guess they just wanted to get rid of the house as quickly as possible."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8LKHHec3z
The mother was stunned by this revelation. It was unusual for someone to sell a house at such a low price, especially if they were in a hurry to sell. Something wasn't adding up.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzRACSYf63
But as the family settled into their new vacation home, they tried to push these concerns to the back of their minds. After all, they were here to relax and enjoy their time together, not to worry about the strange circumstances surrounding the house.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WCWDXlKlH
As the family settled into their new vacation home, they quickly realized that life in the countryside was quite different from what they were used to. There was no cable television or internet connection, and Enix found himself spending most of his days texting his friends back in the city.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCcfUiRjsh
One evening, as they tried to watch a movie on the old, grainy television, a loud bang echoed through the house, followed by a deafening scream. Enix's heart raced as he bolted upright, convinced that someone was in trouble.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tcjEACm0x
He rushed out of the living room and into the kitchen, where he found his mother busy preparing dinner. "Mom, was that you screaming?" he asked, panting and out of breath.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o98zrb7EO
But his mother looked at him with confusion. "What are you talking about? I was just cooking dinner."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX63fipU68C
Enix couldn't believe what he was hearing. If it wasn't his mother who had screamed, then who was it? And where had the loud bang come from? As he stood there, trying to make sense of it all, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was very wrong in this house.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXVB2oKIP5
Enix realized that he was the only one who had heard the loud bang and the screams. Was he going crazy? He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts, and decided to go outside to check on the light post.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3C145gehx
As he walked out into the cool night air, he felt a sense of relief wash over him. The fresh air and the peaceful surroundings were a welcome change from the strange and unsettling events that had been happening inside the house.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrXHQDoZWY
But as he turned to go back inside, something caught his eye. A shadowy figure ran across the side of the house, disappearing into the darkness.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkWgkpzZU0
Enix's heart raced as he stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do. He wanted to call out to his mother, but he was afraid that she would scold him for bothering her. Instead, he picked up the wooden dustpan that was lying nearby and held it up in front of him like a weapon, ready to defend himself if necessary.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLtWwJZGJx
The area outside the house was already shrouded in darkness, but the faint light from the post provided just enough illumination to give him a clear visibility of that area.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtZswlV707
Enix let out a sigh of relief as he realized that the shadowy figure he had seen was nothing more than a trick of the light. Still, his heart was racing as he made his way back to the safety of the house.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ClVzlZ7jn
But as he turned to go inside, something caught his eye. There was a small basement locked up with metal bars and chains, and it appeared as if it hadn't been opened in a very long time. The rust on the hinges had piled up, and the lock was old and rusted.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCiuaOMtDK
Enix couldn't believe what he was seeing. What could be down there, locked away in the darkness? He rushed back inside the house to tell his parents about the strange discovery.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVdxNb8KcJ
His mother listened intently as he told her about the locked basement, her brow furrowed in concern. "We'll check it out tomorrow morning," she said, "but it's too dark to do anything now. Just try to get some rest, and we'll deal with it in the morning."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoneokS6PU9
Despite his mother's warning, Enix couldn't shake the feeling of curiosity about the locked basement. He knew it was dangerous, but he couldn't resist the urge to find out what was down there.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9xG7wMkCb
He went back inside the house and rummaged through the drawers until he found an old matchbox. It wasn't much, but it was all they had – they didn't have a flashlight or any other sources of light.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdK2vcbaOH
Taking a deep breath, Enix slipped the matchbox into his pocket and headed back outside. His heart was racing as he lit a match and held it up, trying to illuminate the dark and mysterious basement.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBfAbMaRGi
All he could see were stairs that descended into the darkness, and he couldn't resist the temptation to take a closer look. He reached through the metallic bars, ignoring the way the rusted metal scraped against his skin. He tried to brighten that area with his tiny matchstick. He failed to notice that the match was slowly burning down. Before he knew it, the flame had reached his fingers, and he yelped in pain as he suffered a burn.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaSgmRsnil
Enix's heart was racing as he suffered the burn on his hand, and in his panic, he accidentally threw the lit matchstick down the stairs. It remained lit for just a few seconds before going out, but in that brief moment, something caught his eye.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaW2mS4QxP
He could have sworn he saw a hand strike out and extinguish the flame, as if someone was down there in the darkness, trying to hide from view.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAKHlsiW2R
Shocked and terrified, Enix rushed back inside the house to tell his parents what he had seen. But before he could even get the words out, his father had noticed the look of shock and pallor on his face.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzU7GcIxOj
"What's wrong, son?" he asked, concern etched on his face. "What did you see out there?"
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaRSBPa6i6
Enix took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. "I think there's someone in the basement," he said, his voice shaking. "I saw a hand, and I know I'm not imagining things. Someone's down there, and I don't know what they want."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bPagE7HHE
His father was surprised. There was no way that his son would lie about this. He asked Enix to stay with his Mom as he check the place.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RE4pqBJGl
Despite his fear, Enix couldn't bear the thought of being left behind while his father went to investigate the locked basement. So he gathered his courage and followed his father, armed with the wooden dustpan once more.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp8hb1ozGI
Together, they approached the locked basement, and his father produced a uniquely designed key that unlocked the metal bars with a shriek of agony.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eARpahv20
As they descended the stairs, Enix lit a matchstick to provide some light, and his father called out, "Is there someone here? This is private property, and we own this house. If you're trespassing, we'll have to report you to the police."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZvIC3QgX
But there was no response, and the silence was deafening. It took a couple of matchsticks before they found the light switch and illuminated the cramped, dusty space.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdFQqWqxll
The basement had clearly been neglected for a long time, and it was filled with cobwebs and old, discarded items. As they made their way through the cluttered space, a sense of unease settled over them. It was almost as if the house was trying to keep its secrets hidden away in this forgotten corner.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKtPzrEK7X
As they explored the cluttered basement, Enix couldn't help but be drawn to the old cassette player and the sets of cassette tapes they found among the discarded items. It was a rare find, and he was excited at the thought of listening to them.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYSq68c28z
For a moment, he forgot all about the strange occurrences in the house and the shadowy figure he had seen in the basement. He was completely focused on the cassette player and the possibility of discovering new music or stories on the tapes.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgBS6P9yXv
But when his father saw him engrossed in the cassette player, he couldn't help but wonder if his son had just been making an excuse to explore the basement. "Did you really see something out there, or were you just trying to find an excuse to check out the basement?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9qRIprg8L
Enix didn't answer, instead focusing on the cassette player and asking his father if it was still working. His father sighed and shook his head, but he couldn't deny the look of excitement on his son's face. Maybe there was something to be gained from exploring the basement after all.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jA0tev9lu
Enix was disappointed when his father refused to let him take the cassette player and tapes upstairs, but he knew better than to argue. They went back inside the house, where they were greeted by their anxious mother.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglCn41c9Rl
"Did you find anything?" she asked, her eyes full of concern.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVKyXCRFo5
"No, just a bunch of old stuff," his father replied with a shrug. "We'll have to clean out the basement and see what we can do with it. But for now, it's just a cluttered mess."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ooYcmILd
The next morning, after a restless night, Enix was eager to go back into the basement and explore the cassette tapes further. But his father had other plans. "You can take the cassette player and tapes up to the living room if you want," he said, "but you'll just be in the way down here. We've got some cleaning to do."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zn5oYOfZA
Enix nodded, disappointed but understanding. He knew his father was right – there wasn't much he could do to help with the cleaning. So he took the cassette player and tapes upstairs, determined to find out what secrets they held.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafUYIGh0oO
Enix remembered a documentary he had seen on television about backmasking – a technique used to reverse the tapes of a cassette and uncover hidden or creepy messages. Intrigued, he went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife to unscrew the tapes.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNEHwqE7M
He started with a tape of a hardcore band artist, hoping to find some hidden messages in the music. But when he played the tape, he couldn't understand a thing – the music was just a jumbled mess of noise.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsvJ7nlBhE
He was about to turn off the player when he heard a faint sound of a woman's voice, asking for help. It was barely audible, but he was certain he had heard it.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1sF6dsGOz
Enix's heart raced as he listened intently, trying to make out the words. Was this some kind of prank, or was there really someone trapped in the cassette tape? He couldn't shake the feeling that something dark and sinister was lurking just beneath the surface of the music.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwkQDxx2hL
With a sense of growing unease, he rewound the tape and played it again, straining to hear the faint voice of the woman. He knew he had to find out what was going on, no matter how dangerous it might be.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8zrPA5naI
As the cassette tape played for the second time, the voice of the woman asking for help became clearer. Her words sent chills down Enix's spine as he listened intently, trying to make sense of what she was saying.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGhVwWKM2U
"I'm in the basement," the woman's voice said, her words laced with fear and desperation. "I need help. Please, someone help me."
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOUCbvDi53
The voice sounded like it was coming from six feet under, and it was clear that the woman was in grave danger. As the cassette tape continued to play, the woman's screams echoed through the room.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1QuN0mHa7
"Help me! My husband buried me and cemented me in the basement. I can't get out. Please,"
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ppjMA8CoV
Enix was terrified and crying as he ran to his parents, trying to tell them what he had heard on the cassette tape. His parents tried to calm him down and listen to his story, but it was hard to believe such a wild tale.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSIY418LQb
Despite their skepticism, they decided to check the basement once more, and they noticed a newly cemented area that seemed out of place. Their father went outside to call for help and gather some neighbors, wanting to make sure there would be witnesses to what they were about to do.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwLkUUwCNr
The neighbors agreed to help and, working together, they began to dig through the cement. It was a slow and laborious process, but finally, they managed to break through and reveal the horrors that lay beneath.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hqmQVkVdi
What they saw was a corpse of a woman in a state of advanced decomposition. It was clear that she had been buried alive, and it was a miracle that she had managed to escape and send out a desperate cry for help through the cassette tape.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVSwcuvqmz
The family was shocked and horrified by the discovery, and they knew they had to call the authorities and report what they had found. They could only hope that justice would be served, and that the woman's killer would be brought to justice.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t0HU3LhdH
As soon as the family realized what had happened, they knew they had to call the police and report the discovery of the dead body in the basement. It was a shocking and horrifying revelation, and they knew they couldn't keep it a secret.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGlGp9zpRu
Days passed as they waited for the authorities to investigate and bring the killer to justice. From what Enix overheard in hushed conversations between his parents, it seemed that the former owner of the house had been arrested in connection with the crime.
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLIcu746Wh
It took a couple of years before the family was able to sell the house and move on from the traumatic events that had occurred there. But the memory of the woman's desperate cries for help and the horror of finding her body would stay with them forever.
