00:00This woman was surprised to discover her father left her a house in her inheritance.

00:03The house in question was the family's forgotten home and had been abandoned for many years.

00:08She visited the house and turned pale when she found someone inside,

00:11but that would just be one of the first surprises. But before we start, smash the like button,

00:20Becca didn't get much time to deal with her father's sudden death. She had been his only

00:24family left, so she was the one tasked with organizing the funeral and handling all other

00:29arrangements. And when that was finally over, she received an invite from the notary for the will

00:33reading. Becca read the invite and sighed deeply. She didn't care about the inheritance. She just

00:39wanted to deal with his sudden death. So Becca went over quickly to put it behind her. But when the

00:43notary read her the will, she got the surprise of a lifetime. Her father had left her a house.

00:48What do you mean a house? Becca asked, astonished. She never knew her father had another house.

00:52Where is it? The notary explained that the house was the family home which had passed through

00:57generations and was long forgotten. Becca agreed on the forgotten part, as her father never mentioned

01:02it to her. Becca left the notary's office with mixed feelings. The unexpected inheritance made her

01:07confused but also very curious. What would the house look like? Could she live there? She decided

01:12to answer these questions by visiting the house, but it was already late afternoon, so she had to be

01:17quick. Dusk was already falling when Becca arrived at the address. She was surprised to find a huge

01:22driveway with a garden leading up to the house. This place is huge, she mumbled in disbelief as

01:28she steered up the driveway. But as the giant house came into view, her body tensed up. Becca was

01:33halfway through the driveway when the house came into view, and she suddenly braked. Only a vague

01:38outline of the house was visible from this distance, but something stood out against the darkness.

01:42There was a light on inside. Becca stared at it in confusion. What was going on? The more Becca looked

01:47at it, the more confusing the situation became. The house was abandoned long ago and Becca could

01:52see it was boarded up. You would expect the house to be cut off from electricity, but clearly not.

01:58The lone light in the abandoned house surrounded by darkness gave Becca the creeps. Maybe there was

02:03someone inside. Becca's breath haltered because of the thought. If that was the case, she needed to

02:08call for help, but she realized she could hardly do that because the light was burning. She needed to

02:12know what was happening, so she exited her car and carefully continued on foot. Becca kept her eyes

02:17on the house as she approached it. Her breath and footsteps were the only sound she heard, but then

02:21she let out an anxious gasp. A shadow moving beside the light. But as soon as it appeared, it disappeared

02:27again. Was that the shadow of a person? Or something else? Becca's heart was pounding and her mind was

02:32racing. She realized the probability of someone being inside had increased tremendously, but she still

02:38wasn't sure. Was this the right moment to call for help? She gathered her courage with a few deep

02:43breaths and decided to continue her journey to find answers. But then, right when Becca was almost at

02:48the front door, she stepped on a twig that snapped in half under her weight. She froze in place and

02:52held

02:52her breath as the sound echoed through the silent night. But the snap wasn't the only thing that ripped

02:57the silence. Becca could hear sounds coming from inside. Becca was still frozen in place, but then she

03:02realized what was going on. There had been someone inside, and the twig alerted the person. Becca heard

03:07stumbling, followed by quick footsteps, and realized the person was running away. Without thinking,

03:12she moved to the door and pulled it open. The door opened with a creak, and Becca stepped inside just

03:17in time to see someone exit through the back door. It was just a split second, so Becca could only

03:22see

03:22a vague outline of a lengthy person, but the fact that she saw someone leave her house caused her to

03:27turn pale from shock. Becca hurried to the back door, but no person was in sight. She quickly closed and

03:33locked it, after which she carefully searched the whole house, ensuring nobody was there while

03:38locking everything. Becca realized the abandoned home was an attractive place to seek shelter for

03:43homeless people, but she obviously scared the person away now. The silence had returned as Becca was

03:48now alone in the house. She took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down. Well, let's see what

03:53this house is about, Becca said as she started to look around. In each room she walked in, her eyes

03:58grew

03:58wider. This is amazing. Even though the house had been abandoned long ago, Becca could still see the

04:03beauty of what it once was. It needed a lot of work, but Becca knew it was worth it, and

04:08decided

04:08to renovate. Not aware that decision would come with incredible side effects. The following days,

04:13Becca organized everything, and she made sure that one bedroom and the kitchen were the first to be

04:18done so she could already move in while she renovated the house. But as soon as she moved in and

04:22started on the rest of the house, strange things started happening. It took her a while to realize,

04:27but there were some weird sounds she would hear every now and then. Becca would hear scuffling

04:31sounds throughout the house, but the strange thing was that it seemed to come from within the walls,

04:35but she had a hard time precisely pinpointing the location. She realized it wouldn't be strange for

04:40such an old and abandoned house to have mice inside the walls, so she put down traps. But what confused

04:46her about the situation was that she never caught one or even saw one scurrying around, and then things

04:51became even more confusing, because sometimes, when she was renovating or just walking around,

04:55Becca could swear she heard whispers or a muffled voice. Eventually, her mind returned to the first

05:00time she entered this home and saw a homeless person. Was that person still around? The thought

05:04worried Becca, but she checked every door and window frequently to see if they were still locked

05:09and secured, and there was nothing wrong every time. The situation gave Becca a creepy feeling,

05:14but due to her frequent checks, she still felt safe, because one night Becca was rudely awakened

05:19by a loud scraping sound. Her body was tensed up from fright, and she stayed awake for the remainder

05:24of the night. That moment was the last straw for Becca, and she decided to hang up some cameras to

05:29see what was happening in this house. From that moment on, whenever she heard something like the

05:33scuffling sounds, a whisper, or something else she couldn't place, she would quickly scan the house and

05:38surroundings with her camera feed, but there was nothing. So Becca worked as hard as possible on the

05:42renovations, hoping things would stop when she was done. The more she checked the camera feed and saw

05:47nothing, the easier it became to ignore the sounds. This was why it took so long to realize that the

05:52sounds had suddenly stopped when she started renovating the remaining chambers, but she would

05:56soon discover the reason why they had stopped. The last remaining rooms were three bedrooms on the

06:00bottom floor, and Becca saved them for last because they needed the least amount of work. But soon after

06:05she got started, she noticed something. The rooms had very different and strange proportions compared to

06:10others in the house. As Becca was removing all the old furniture and moved a big closet in one of

06:15the

06:15rooms she found something behind it. There was a door hidden behind the closet. What was this? The strange

06:20proportions of the rooms and the hidden door confused Becca but also made her very curious.

06:25She grabbed the schematics of the house and, when she took a closer look, noticed these chambers

06:29weren't supposed to be like this and that the door wasn't originally there either. First, weird sounds

06:34confused and scared her, and now she discovered a strange hidden door. This house kept surprising her,

06:39then Becca realized that this secret doorway could give her some answers. So she gathered her courage and

06:44pulled the door open, both curious and anxious to see what was behind it. It took her quite a bit

06:49of

06:49effort, but eventually, the door opened with a creak. Becca froze as she realized the door sounded exactly

06:55like the sound she woke up from. A closet blocked the door, and every door and window was locked.

06:59Becca anxiously stepped into the room. A frown appeared on her face when she looked at the room.

07:04The only light source was a window on the other side, but she didn't know there was a window there,

07:09but when she approached it, she saw it was covered by vegetation, which blocked it from view.

07:13Becca moved the vegetation aside, and more light entered the room.

07:17Now, she could finally see what it was about and search for some answers. The moment she turned

07:21around, her eyes widened from disbelief. As she had seen when she maneuvered between them,

07:26the room was filled with furniture but something else shocked her. There was a big closet and

07:30multiple couches, but eyes darted around the room at the things lying on top of the couches and the

07:35floor. There were sleeping bags and leftover food and packaging. Becca stood in silence and stared at

07:41the sight while her mind raced and filled with questions. Becca felt a shiver go down her spine as she

07:46looked at everything in the room, and her thoughts returned to the first moment she set foot inside

07:50this house. I had that person really never gone, or her initial feelings right all along, but she would

07:56soon discover there was something else at play. The worrying thoughts ran through Becca's head, and

08:01all of a sudden all the sounds she had heard since moving in started to make sense. It wasn't mice

08:06or

08:07voices inside her own head. There had been someone in her house all along. She had an intruder in the

08:12house. Becca's heart pounded in her chest, and she suddenly felt very hot. She had to get out of this

08:17room as fast as possible, close it off, and get someone to help her immediately. But as Becca hurriedly

08:22made her wait of the door she accidentally bumped into the closet. Becca swore softly as she rubbed the

08:27sore spot on her knee, but then she heard something that caused her to back off immediately. After she

08:32had hit the closet, a low thump came from within. Becca's mind worked in overdrive as she realized she

08:37wasn't alone in the room. Becca held her breath as she took out her phone and entered the alarm number.

08:42Then she took a breath and shouted. Show yourself, or I will call the police. Becca didn't want to wait

08:47long and put her words into action when she pressed the call button on her phone. Then she put her

08:52phone

08:52on speaker so the person in the closet could hear the operator answer. What's the emergency? The operator's

08:57voice sounded out of the phone. Becca opened her mouth to answer, but the closet door sprung open right then,

09:03and a figure emerged from inside. Becca's heart skipped a beat due to the sudden movement,

09:08and she stared at the person with a surprised expression. Please hang up, the girl that just

09:12exited the closet begged. She folded her hands in front of her face and looked very anxious.

09:17Becca could only stare at the 20-ish year old girl. This was the last thing she had expected,

09:22but things got even more confusing. We don't want any trouble, the girl said. Before Becca could fully

09:27process what the girl had said, four more kids, all around the same age as the girl, appeared from the

09:32closet. Becca stared at the five kids with astonishment. They looked very anxious and

09:37didn't look very well kept. Becca felt very confused and had a slight concern. What was going on? It all

09:43happened quickly, and Becca was still on the phone with the operator. Hello? Tell me what's going on,

09:49the operator said. But Becca looked at the group before her and knew what to do. She decided to listen

09:55to the girl's plea and hung up the phone. She wanted to hear them out, but she wouldn't act all

09:59nice and

10:00sweet, because the intruders turned out to be younger than she expected. What's going on? Who

10:04are you? What are you doing here? She demanded in a strict tone. The girl who appeared first stepped

10:09forward and thanked Becca for hanging up and immediately continued with an apology. My name

10:14is Christine and we're very sorry, the girl said. Christina then went on to explain that every one of

10:19them had been in the foster system but had never been adopted. After turning 18, they were forced out and

10:24have been on their own ever since. Becca realized these kids had nothing wrong in mind and just wanted

10:28shelter. Christina repeated that they were sorry every other sentence. We didn't want to harass you

10:33or scare you, but since you live here, our life is much better, she said. Becca frowned when she

10:38heard that. What do you mean? Christine explained they had lived here for a few months before Becca

10:42arrived. They were used to a harsh life by now, but things changed ever since Becca started to live

10:48here. There was heat and easy access to food. They felt terrible because Becca didn't know,

10:53but we didn't take much from you, Christina quickly added after Becca frowned again.

10:56The girl carefully walked toward the window and said they would leave through there to get food from

11:00outside. Slowly, everything dawned on Becca as she realized these kids made all the shuffling and

11:05talking noises. They looked nervous and shameful and seemed to really mean the apology. Their story

11:10was unbelievable and Becca felt incredibly bad for them. The more she looked at them, the more she

11:16wanted to help and she knew just the thing. The house was way too big for her and she didn't

11:21have a plan

11:21for the remaining rooms that needed renovating. She offered them a deal. If they helped renovate,

11:26they could stay in her house until they got their lives back on track. Before they knew it,

11:30they had grown into a tight family. Thank you so much for watching. If you enjoyed this story,
