I should of never went into that damn house.........

Oh hi I'm Micheal, I'm just your average everyday young adult. Doing random things like a normal person would do. I have a friend named James, We have been best friends since 3rd Grade. The reason I'm mentioning him is because Me and James because we did something stupid.

I well used to explore old buildings and such, but I lost interest in them after I got a job at a Gas Station nearby. I live in a apartment complex which is about 3 or 4 floors high. My friend lives in the same building as me, So we have a lot of hangouts and parties from time to time. A few weeks ago, James told me that he found a old 1930s house we could explore. I told him that I didn't explore old buildings anymore and left it as that.

A day later James called me and asked me if we could go to the old house, I said no until we reached an agreement to go later that night.

I left my apartment around 8:30 PM with James to go to the house. At first it looked way newer than James told me how old it looked. When we got closer it looked way older. The place had 2 floors, which was cool and gave it a way creepier effect. Me and James entered the house.

The first thing I noticed is that the floors had old newspapers on them, the latest dated newspaper was January 4, 1941. There were 5 rooms per floor and a huge living room the first few rooms had nothing in them. When we got to the 2nd floor however there was a room that had bookshelves in it. I didn't find it interesting but James found it appealing. We decided to explore the room more to see if it had any books in it. We did find one book.

The book was named "He who find it, must perish" the name was odd but I didn't think much about it. The contents of the book is what sparked my curiosity, the words were a language I didn't understand. There were pictures of symbols and crosses and such. James read one of the paragraphs which said "Unison Paridoxion Parsi" after he read it a large boom shook the whole house. We thought it was a train or something and explored the rest of the house. We went back down to the 1st floor to find a large hole. with smoke plumes coming from the hole. When we left we heard a voice say "He who must perish faces punishment", I looked behind me to find that there was a white figure at the end of the hallway. It was sitting there. We left after that.

I drove by the house a few days later to find that it was burned down. I'm not sure what caused it to burn, but I know at least the book and whatever that thing was in that house is gone for good. Every night since I seen the house burned down, I always hear that same voice say "You will perish."
