I INHERITED an Ancient Castle - There Are Secrets in the CELLAR

[@froginprogress8510]

Seems reminiscent of The Dunwich Horror. Reminds me somehow of something my grandpa told me about once. I'm not sure if HE broke into this old manor-type house too, or just a friend of his had, but anyway... There was a well-off couple in a very large house. They had servants and caretakers and about 5 kids. Something happened to the wife and she started to be seen less and less. Years passed, and she had become quite reclusive and strange. Her husband died in his 60s, the children were off and married with children of their own, and it was just her and the staff. One day, there was a big hullibaloo at the house, and she was taken away and confined to an asylum for the rest of her life. The house sat empty for years, but was the subject of much chatter amongst the regular people. A lot of speculation for why she had been confined. I think he was maybe 12 or 13 when this happened. The house was starting to break down, and went up for auction. He and his friend broke into the house right before it was torn down, trying to find out why the woman had been sent away. The place had like 5 floors, so I'm assuming it took a few days at least to explore. He had to stay home for something, so his friend went alone. Some doors had been walled over, and were only apparent because they had started to break down and sag on their hinges. Finally, in this weird little subcellar-type space dug into the floor of the basement, his friend found it: a tomb of sorts. After those 5 babies, she was never able to carry another child to term. Miscarriages and stillbirths totaling something like 17. And she had carefully preserved each of them, and hidden them away in this space beneath the manor. There were notes in a little journal, describing the name and sex of each baby, the point in the pregnancy they'd been lost, and hints of the brokenness she felt at each loss, all in a fine, spiderweb handwriting that appeared shaky at times. The space was found decades after the last baby was placed inside, but not understanding postpartum depression, or depression in general, she was deemed mad and put away. Her testament of grief and despair was covered up, and the babies were forgotten. Horrified, his friend ran home with the journal and told his parents what he had found. He got quite the whipping, but his dad gave him a pocketknife a few days later, as acknowledgement of having seen something horrifying. My grandpa didn't know what happened to the remains, or if his friend kept the journal, and he never got the chance to ask his friend anything more because they had to pack up and move again, as they often did when he was growing up. It bothered my grandpa endlessly that those babies might still be there, forgotten beneath the moldering floorboards...

Holy crap. You basically wrote another book 😅.

[@captainstaysea3113]

Well, there’s another plot. Lol

Currently 25 minutes in and hooked. If hubby doesn't hurry up he will miss part if the story as I'm dying to continue. One of the reasons I don't like listening while working, having to pause for pick up and drop offs

Go for "I Inherited a Haunted House!" Its a long one & my 1st. Now I'm a nurturing monster on some sort of committee in a netherworld! 😉

[@mikechampion1614]

Being navigationally challenged this house would terriffy me. Loving old architecture and history on a very eclectic level. I could be a very happy and content person.

[@LanceTheAutobot]

So we have an Eldridge entity who wants to return to the mortal plain …creepy he may be he sound like an entity that loves humans and earth in general

[@happilyeverafter7703]

Gives me this Darkest Dungeon vibe. You know, without sending an endless supply of recruits to die horrible deaths to its eldritch dangers.

[@allannapier1626]

This is amazing work Jordan! So full of detail, character and originality. I ❤ it! Hats of to the writer for this formidable story and to you for the great narration and bringing it to life.

The way you narrate these stories makes them so captivating.

[@yvette_is_Mamacado]

I have to say....this story REALLY stands out in and of itself. There's an AMAZING level of knowledge of history in it context.... admittedly a few lost on me, necessitating a Google or 2 on my part. Id say this is, perhaps arguably, a seriously NEXT LEVEL piece of authorship! INARGUABLY, very impressive! BRAVA! 👏

I can't explain the lack of notifications, sorry. I always turn them on for new videos so theoretically everyone with notifications on should get them. Maybe it's the fact that it's a premiere is screwing things up

he can ask someone to take him to a sanitarium and then destroy the manor. Also if everyone ends up back in the cellar who pays the taxes who deals with the upkeep?

[@williamfawkes8379]

Castle. I love castles.

[@Ciprian-IonutPanait]

that is not a castle. no defensive constructs

[@williamfawkes8379]

@Ciprian-IonutPanait come now. There are many types of castles. And there is the old saying of a man's home is his castle. I think this story is actually about twisted genetic sorcery anyways, not architecture.

[@Ciprian-IonutPanait]

@@williamfawkes8379 a castle is aresidence with a defensive structure. The definition of a castle includes a defensive structure. They generally have thick walls , small and few chambers with small windows and a giant wall around them. That is a manor or a palace you are talking about depending on the size. The story has many other faults but the clickbait title is the first you find

[@williamfawkes8379]

@@Ciprian-IonutPanait i see. You are what is commonly referred to as a troll. You do not live in a castle, but in a dark wet place under a bridge. I imagine that this deficiency has caused you to seek every opportunity to cause chaos and mayhem in others. I will pray for your dark and twisted soul.

a manor or palace is not a castle

[@TeranceCrosby]

Dude you sound a lot like Tom Bodett lol

[@brianmurphy250]

This story needs a narrator with a posh British accent. The young Midwestern American kind of takes me out of the story, which is good. The narrator sounds like the old radio ads from Motel Six ( Tom Bodett character).

[@loriwilson-n9t]

Posh this 💩

[@mirzamay]

Big Jordan Grupe fan. Posh narrators are great too, but most of the time I prefer Jordan's style. For me, being a Midwestern person, the posh style takes me out of the story more.

[@williamfawkes8379]

He (Jordan) is not Midwestern American. I was born in Minnesota, and Jordan is most definitely Canadian. Although I would hazard a guess that he is closer to the middle of Canada than the coasts.
