Allen (MrBallen) is well known for his fascination with all things strange, dark and mysterious. As it so happens, John has his own deeply disturbing experience with the paranormal. Something that, in spite of all his attempts to find an explanation for it, haunts him to this day. John recalls a trip to a remote cabin in the mountains of New Hampshire — a place that seemed quiet and isolated, but quickly became the setting for something far more unsettling. Over the course of three nights, a series of unexplained events left a lasting impression on everyone inside the cabin, raising questions about who or what may have been moving through the house after dark.
