[mysterious music plays]
My name is Hannah,
and my boyfriend and I lived in a cabin in the woods that was pure evil.
[eerie music plays]
[whooshes]
I was born in Juneau, Alaska,
and moved to Montana
when I was 13 days old.
My childhood was pretty rough.
My parents were…
incredibly strict Christian fundamentalists.
Church every Sunday…
as well as, like, Bible studies every day.
I didn't really have very many friends growing up there. We were--
We were pretty isolated from town.
My mom was a stay-at-home housewife.
And my mom and I
would be just at the house, all day, every day.
My mom was pretty abusive, and…
I remember once, I was playing outside.
[rhythmic clacking]
[mom] Stop it, Hannah.
Hannah!
[horse neighs in distance]
I said…
stop it.
[Hannah winces]
[dreamy music playing]
[whimpering softly]
[mom] Enough!
[Hannah sobbing] No!
No, Mom, no, no!
No! No, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
[sobbing loudly]
-[mom] Quiet! -[continues sobbing]
[wails] Mom! Mom!
I said…
-be… quiet! -[sinister music plays]
[muffled sobs]
[music fades]
She gagged me,
tied me…
to a chair in our basement in the dark
until my dad came home from work,
for probably four or five hours.
[brooding music plays]
My mom told me that her duty in life
was to humble me before God.
When I was a teenager, you know,
I started really questioning
a lot of what my parents had taught me,
which led to a lot of conflict with them.
So it was like a really kind of a rough childhood.
But I got a job when I was 15
at a pizza place,
and I made some-- some decent friends.
-[music playing faintly over stereo] -[indistinct conversation]
-[crickets chirping] -[woman whoops faintly]
[woman] Hey, Hannah.
-[chuckles] -[bottles clink]
[vehicle approaching]
[gravel crunching]
Shit, guys, it's my mom.
-[bottles clinking] -[music stops]
[truck door closes]
[Hannah's breath shudders]
[sinister music plays]
[case clicks]
[zips]
-[grunts, inhales sharply] -[friends gasp]
[Hannah winces]
[chuckles]
[winces]
Let's go.
[spits]
[tense music rising]
[somber music plays]
My mom ended up
cracking me in the face with my purse.
I split my lip open, about like that.
And my co-worker confronted me and was like,
"Look, like, you… You either need to, like, leave,
or I'm gonna call, you know, the cops and Child Services
because, like, you know,
normal parents don't do that kind of stuff."
I, uh… I petitioned the judge,
and I'd been working long enough at that point in time
that I was able to emancipate myself.
I cleaned my room out, and that was it.
[somber music playing]
[mom] Hannah!
[Hannah] Go fuck yourself!
Just drive.
Hannah!
I had met a disabled vet, Jesse, through a mutual friend.
Jesse had seen the-- the-- the bruises that I had on my neck,
and he needed somebody to come over to his house
and help out a little bit.
His leg is injured, so…
I ended up moving into Jesse's house.
I honestly, like, kind of owe Jesse a lot, because, like, other--
I don't think I would have necessarily made it through
that period of my life without you, you know?
-It was really mad-- -I feel the same.
My leg was broken, uh, at the ankle,
and… you were there for me when I really needed somebody around,
and I knew that you needed somebody to…
jump-start the healing process.
Yeah… I agree with that for sure.
It was, like… [exhales sharply] …early fall.
I had no income.
I couldn't find work.
And so Jesse had this friend named Drew who lived in California.
Drew, like, he offered me a job on his cannabis farm, and…
so I-- I decided to split down to California.
It just seemed kind of like the logical choice at the time.
And so I went down to TRIMCAMP,
where they process all of the harvested marijuana.
That was a very new chapter of life for me,
because all of a sudden, I was free.
[rock music playing on stereo]
It was a very new experience.
Kind of a little bit of culture shock for me.
[Hanna chuckles] Hi.
Hi.
-Welcome to TRIMCAMP. [chuckles] -Oh, hello.
-I'm Drew. -I'm Hannah.
[Drew chuckles]
[Hannah now] So it was like this really happy…
positive place.
It was really welcoming. It was, you know--
It was a whole new life and a whole new family for me.
The Northern California grower, Grateful Dead lifestyle, and…
it was really exciting.
As TRIM progressed,
Drew and I kind of started to realize
that we had some pretty strong feelings for each other.
[tattoo machine buzzing]
One night, I ended up, uh, finishing a tattoo that he had
that was half-started.
[gentle music playing]
[Hannah] You like it?
Yeah.
I really like what you did to your hair.
Once that door was opened, we fell for each other really hard.
Drew and I, like, moved into his main house,
which was this incredibly rickety,
converted logging camp
up Cobb Mountain.
[mysterious music playing]
It was like this feeling of, like, adventure and excitement.
-[ominous note plays] -[crow caws]
-[suspenseful string music plays] -[deep exhale]
The next morning, Drew basically takes off.
He had, you know, four gardens to tend,
so he just leaves for, like, two or three days.
And so I'm sitting there with my stuff,
like, "What'll I do for the next few days?"
[hollow thud]
[scoffs]
[ominous music plays]
[suspenseful music playing]
[hollow thuds]
[clatters]
[eerie music playing]
[scoffs]
[eerie music intensifies]
[music fades]
There's this, like, just weird,
unexplainable kind of like dead space in the wall
that didn't really make sense with how the house was laid out.
But I didn't really investigate it too much,
'cause I was trying not to be super nosy up in my new boyfriend's house.
So when we got back, we were just, like, hanging out and talking.
[Hannah chuckles]
-Oh! -[both laugh]
Fuck you!
[Drew] Mmm.
[bottle clinks]
[eerie music plays faintly]
Do you want to see something?
Sure.
[both chuckling]
[ominous music playing]
I'm telling you, there's something behind this wall.
[Drew] Yeah?
I'm telling you.
[Drew inhales deeply]
Okay.
Wait here.
[chuckles softly]
[ominous music playing]
[chainsaw revs]
-[chainsaw idling] -[chuckles uncertainly]
-Psst, psst. -[chuckles]
[suspenseful music playing]
[chainsaw revs]
[revving]
[chuckles]
[Drew panting]
[wood clattering]
[gags]
-[Drew groaning] -[coughs]
[both chuckle]
-[gags] -What the fuck?
[Drew strains]
[grunts]
[panting]
[groans]
[eerie music playing]
[music fades]
-[switch clicks] -[dramatic beat]
[flies buzzing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[coughs]
[Drew] Ugh.
[sinister music playing]
[Drew coughs]
[gags]
It was the weirdest shit I have ever seen.
Like, at one point in time, it had been a shower.
And up in the ceiling was this, like, big O-ring that was, like,
screwed into the ceiling.
Like something that you would connect a meat hook to.
And the floor was covered in old razor blades.
None of this makes any sense.
I was like, "Okay, well, let's go find where this goes."
Because, obviously, this drains into somewhere.
And so we decided to go down to the basement.
So, in the basement, I was up on this shelf thing by the water heater.
And behind the water heater somebody had, like, dug a path.
Then there was, like, a set of tunnels that kind of, like, opened up
that went further back into the house.
[ominous music playing]
[music fades]
[breathing heavily]
[metal clangs softly]
[Hannah now] There's a bucket.
[ominous music playing]
And we look up, and there's the drain from where that shower was.
[tense music rising]
[ominous music plays]
The bucket had this, like,
gelatinous, black…
matter.
It looked like clotted blood that had been there for 20 years.
And it was just dropped freely from the drain down into the bucket.
There was no pipes underneath it or anything.
And there was this little room
that had the remains of a mattress.
So I felt like somebody had been kept down there.
Somebody lived there who either, like, was a serial killer
who had tortured somebody,
or somebodies.
After that happened, like…
the energy in the house kind of changed.
Then weird shit started happening.
-[fire crackling] -[wood clatters]
[clangs]
[bottles clink]
[Drew] Ah.
-[kissing] -[metal clangs]
[kissing]
[Drew chuckles]
[Hannah] Every fucking time.
[kisses]
[Hanna chuckles]
[Drew] My favorite part.
[Drew sighs happily]
[Drew moans]
[Drew grunting softly]
[banjo playing "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" faintly]
[Hannah] What the…
-[man vocalizing faintly] -[Hannah] What the fuck? Drew!
What? What? What, what?
Drew, do you hear it?
What?
The music, asshole.
Did you leave the stereo on?
[chuckles softly] We don't have a stereo.

[Drew grunts]

[footsteps approaching]
[suspenseful music plays]
Drew?
Stop playing around.
[man vocalizes faintly]
Drew?
[owl hooting]
[eerie music plays]
[clack]
-[chainsaw revs] -[screams]
[Drew laughs]
[whispers] God!
-[Drew laughs] -Ugh.
[Drew sighs heavily]
He'd been known to…
play some practical jokes that were… not very nice in the past, but, um,
I was actually really, really angry at him for that one.
But, honestly, we both heard the music.
We definitely felt like there was some very, like,
negative energy attached to that music
and especially to whatever we'd opened up from that room.
He told-- He told me that he thought that after they opened up the wall,
that he thought that something happened.
That something was different about everything after that point.
I was tired of having this, like,
super-creepy, potentially, like, murder room
in our house.
So, I was like, "Look, Drew, like, we are going to board this thing up."
[ominous music plays]
So, we board it back up and completely, like, repainted it.
[birds chirping]
-[inhales sharply] -[eerie music plays]
[tense music rises, stops]
[crow cawing]
[ominous music plays]
[tense music rising]
What the hell?
[sinister music plays]
Drew!
-What the hell have you done to me? -[inhales]
What the fuck?
When we woke up, we had these, like, weird cuts from a razor blade almost,
and they were from pretty much our whole upper torsos, down our arms.
And… the next couple of mornings,
we had more and more of them,
and they were painful to the point that it wasn't something
that either of us would have just slept through.
And so to, like, have this feeling of…
being asleep and not being aware enough of what's going on around me…
that I'm literally covered in these deep, painful cuts…
combined with the fact that we'd found hundreds of razor blades
in the bottom of that shower,
it seemed pretty easy to… suspect that maybe it was connected.
That's about the time I really started getting spooked
and started talking to Drew about very seriously considering moving.
But Drew concocts this great plan…
that maybe, like, whatever energy is there,
like, just is angry because it's trapped,
and that maybe he should
channel it and help release it back, so it can go to, like, be at peace.
And he specifically was trying to channel whatever energy
was in that house in through him.
He and I got into a pretty big fight about it.
And I, like, went into our room and, like, slammed the door and locked it.
He… scared the living crap out of me.

The house is hungry, feed the house. The house is hungry.

He… crossed the center line,
and he hit a Ford F-350.
He wasn't wearing his seat belt, and he died on the scene. Um…
I immediately called Jesse. "Jesse, Drew's dead."
And-- And Jesse came and picked me up.
[voice breaking] Both of us were really in shock.
So that was pretty hard.
His mom had him cremated.
This is actually Drew.
[somber music playing]
It's just been really hard.
I miss him so much.

There was an evil in that house that took Drew's life.
It was a very dark energy that wanted blood.

It definitely got its blood.
