You have heard the weird stories surrounding these abandoned cabins in the woods or by the lake, but there's one that is haunted by real angry poltergiests. I happened to stay in that cabin for only three nights. I'll tell you the origins of this cabin and its first owner.

Some time around the 1920's, a gangster named Isaac Lewell was just released from prison for a small crime that was no big deal. Well, Isaac's lawyer William Sanders made a deal with the district attorney to release Isaac and that they'll pay the district attorney big money.

In order to do that, they had to do something big. Isaac and William decided to scout for some secluded areas outside the city so the police would not know what they would be doing. They settled on a shore of Silver Lake. Here, the area was quiet and out of the way, with no towns nearby.

Isaac and William went to work on building a cabin, but they also decided to build a speakeasy underneath the cabin. It would be here where people looking to have a grand time would drink illegal alcohol and gamble.

It took time to finish the cabin, almost three years as Isaac and William knew that if something were to go wrong, they would run. They decided to build a tunnel that would lead them and their guests out in the woods where the police would not follow them.

During the time it took to build the cabin and tunnel, Isaac adopted four big German Sheperds. The dogs would sound the alarm by barking to their master. He named them Lily, Titan, Otis, and Victoria.

Victoria was Isaac's favorite as she took a motherly role over the other three. He also named her after his daughter, who he never saw after her birth as his wife filed for divorce following his arrest.

Once the cabin, speakeasy, and tunnel were completed, William had some close confidants spread word about the cabin by Silver Lake. Some moonshiners and whiskey makers heard about the cabin and decided to sell their alcohol to Isaac for a quarter of the profit.

A few people came to the cabin one summer night and discovered just how amazing the place was. Isaac called the speakeasy the 'Dog Yard' in honor of his dogs. The four dogs would keep watch outside with Isaac while William attended to the guests in the speakeasy.

A few years past and Isaac and William made a big profit for selling illegal alcohol and the gambling.

They did have a few close calls with law enforcement. The police would get a tip about some suspicious activity at the cabin, but every time, Isaac and William were able to persuade the police not to take heed to the tips.

So far, this what I have for now. I would appreciate some feedback and what else could I do to make this story more scary as I want it to be a ghost story.
