  The porch was chilly but this is FRIGID. I can see my breath. Definite paranormal activity here. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Scream Queen @screamqueen • 20:10

  Don’t call it that I think the movie people trademarked it. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:10

  @screamqueen LOL #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:12

  Getting serious now. @screamking setting up PKE meters, thermostats. If anything comes through here, we’ll know. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:13

  There’s a feeling of palpable menace in this room. I so believe that seventeen people died here. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:15

  I think the roof is sagging a little. There’s something weird about the corners. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:20

  OH MY GOD TELL ME THAT CAME THROUGH ON THE VIDEO. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:23

  Fuck. Video didn’t pick up noise. Everyone here heard it. Like fingernails on crystal. Eerie and LOUD. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:25

  Fifteen minutes in the entryway. House hasn’t told us to get out yet. Shall we go deeper? #connollyhouse #yes #yesweshall

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Scream King @screamking • 20:27

  We need to split up. @boo_peep, you take @deadhot. I’ll take @screamqueen. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Scream King @screamking • 20:27

  @boo_peep @deadhot @screamqueen We’ll meet up here in half an hour. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:28

  @screamking Aye aye sir! #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:30

  Since @deadhot has our camera, I get to keep the text feed going! Aren’t you lucky, followers? #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:32

  The hallway is even colder than the living room. Feels like we’re walking into a freezer. I want a coat. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:33

  There are pale patches on the walls where pictures used to be. The wallpaper is patterned with little white flowers . . . #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:33

  . . . and scratches that look like writing, but not any language I know. Ugh. So creepy. No wonder the Connollys snapped. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:36

  While @deadhot gets some good atmosphere footage, here’s a little history: the Connolly family built this house in 1843. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:38

  The Connollys lived on Peaks Island for sixty years. They were well liked. Good neighbors. Until the day . . . #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:40

  . . . when they invited all the neighborhood children over & slit their throats in a ritual that has never been decoded. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:42

  Since that day, neighbors have reported strange sounds, sightings around the house. No one has lived here since the deaths. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:43

  And here’s the best part: the Connollys themselves, Shawn and Sarah, were NEVER FOUND. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:44

  Maybe their ritual worked, and they have gone to join their demonic masters. Maybe we’ll find out today. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:46

  CAMERA FEEDS ARE ONLINE! The video can’t convey the sense of frozen menace in this room. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:48

  Everything looks normal. Outdated, but stuff you might find in your grandparents’ house. But it’s not normal. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:50

  I know that’s so Blair Witch of me—there is an evil here oooOoooOoo—but it’s true. This room isn’t normal. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:51

  It’s like it still remembers what happened here, and hasn’t forgiven, or maybe it hasn’t stopped waiting. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:53

  Waiting for it to happen again. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:55

  Ha ha ha woo that was sort of off the rails, wasn’t it? That would be a story for our competitors. “Boo Peep cries boo hoo.” #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:57

  But I think it says something that none of our competitors asked if they could come here. They knew this was the real deal. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:01

  Sometimes it’s easier to chase fake ghosts than real ones. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Dead Hot @deadhot • 21:02

  Uh Peep you wanna lighten it up a little? LOL you’re so dramatic. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:03

  @deadhot Bite me, fanboy. You feel it too. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:04

  Something is really wrong here. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:06

  Something is wrong with the way the walls fit together. I can’t . . . I can’t explain any better than that. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:10

  WHOA BREAKING NEWS. @deadhot opened what he thought was the pantry, found stairs to basement. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:12

  Air coming up from basement actually WARMER than air in kitchen. Maybe somehow connected to outside??? #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:13

  SHOULD WE GO INTO THE BASEMENT OF THE MURDERHOUSE?! Tweet me, Y or N! #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:16

  . . . wow, that was fast. I guess the choice is easier when you’re not the one in the murderhouse. :/ #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:18

  @screamking @screamqueen Hey we found a basement & put it to an audience vote. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:20

  @screamking @screamqueen Long story short it looks like we’re going to go down. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:22

  @screamking @screamqueen Want us to wait for you??? #connollyhouse #strengthinnumbers #somethingiswrong

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Scream King @screamking • 21:23

  you go on ahead @screamqueen and I found something up here a library #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Scream King @screamking • 21:25

  all the books are still here so many books I have to know what they say #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:28

  @screamking LOL okay I guess I should’ve known we’d lose you if you found any weird writing. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:29

  @deadhot I guess it’s just you and me. Let’s get this party started. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:30

  Here we go. @deadhot is starting down w/camera and flashlight, I am following. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:32

  Walls almost warm to touch. The bannister feels slick, slimy, like running hand along a giant salamander. #connollyhouse #somethingiswrong

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Randy Kaufman @rkaufman • 21:33

  Why do you keep using hashtag #somethingiswrong? This rocks!!! #everythingisright

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Ivy Odell @climbinivy • 21:33

  I don’t get the #somethingiswrong thing—what gives?

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:34

  Where does that tag keep coming from? Technical glitch? NOTHING IS WRONG. This is AMAZING. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:35

  We are so privileged to be here. No one has breathed this air in decades. #connollyhouse />
  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:37

  Not that it’s not terrifying in here. The walls are wrong, and too slick. The air tastes like pennies. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:40

  I thought the water table was close to the surface on the island, but we’re still descending. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:46

  That noise again from behind us, somewhere far behind. Like nails on hard crystal. Makes my teeth hurt. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:50

  How are we still descending? How is this possible??? #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:53

  Stairs are angled oddly. Feels almost like we’re climbing. LOL not possible. Basement must be v. deep. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:55

  Getting warmer. Glad I don’t have a coat. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:58

  This isn’t right. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 22:00

  @deadhot Does it feel like we should have reached the bottom by now? #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Dead Hot @deadhot • 22:00

  I guess they built this place on the bedrock. We’re probably below sea level. Creepy. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:59

  . . . good thing Maine isn’t known for its earthquakes. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:58

  @screamking @screamqueen You guys okay up there? Basement is weird. Seem to be going UP. #connollyhouse #somethingiswrong

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:56

  @screamking @screamqueen We’ve been going downstairs for half an hour, still not at the bottom. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Scream King @screamking • 21:54

  no no everything is good everything is wonderful we have it under control. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Scream King @screamking • 21:52

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:50

  @screamking Um, okay, naptime in the haunted house? That’s a little hardcore for @screamqueen. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep retweeted

  Scream King @screamking • 21:48

  she can eternal lie. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:45

  @screamking Whatever that means. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:42

  Something weird with time stamps. Can’t focus on it much. Walls here DEFINITELY warm to touch. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:40

  When I hold a light up to the wall, I can see same weird scratch marks as in wallpaper upstairs. #connollyhouse #somethingiswrong

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:39

  It looks more like writing here, in the dark. It looks like it makes WORDS. #connollyhouse #somethingiswrong #helphelphelp

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:36

  Okay there have GOT to be technical issues. My time stamps are wrong, & those are not my hashtags. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:35

  IGNORE THE HASHTAGS THEY ARE LYING TO YOU. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:33

  Stairs continue to slant down, but feel so much like we’re going up. Doesn’t make sense. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:30

  Feels like we have been walking for a long time. @deadhot feels same way. #connollyhouse #weshouldntbehere

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:25

  WHAT WAS THAT SOUND. #connollyhouse #weshouldntbehere

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:23

  Something is SCREAMING up ahead in the dark HOW CAN ANYTHING BE IN FRONT OF US. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:20

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:10

  I ain’t afraid of no ghost. #theclassics #connollyhouse #weshouldntbehere

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:08

  Something on the stairs . . . wet. Sticky. Maybe we’re finally reaching the bottom. #connollyhouse #somethingiswrong

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:05

  Not sure how much longer I’ll have service. Stairs seem to go on forever. More of that wet, sticky stuff. Looks like tar. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 21:00

  @deadhot hold up a second I want to figure out what this stuff is. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:53

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:45

  OK. OK. I am taking deep breaths. I am a professional ghost hunter. It’s just . . . it’s a rat. There’s a dead rat down here. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:44

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:33

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:31

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:19

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 20:02

  OK. #connollyhouse #somethingiswrong

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:57

  Sorry about that, horror fans. I thought . . . I saw . . . something on
the stairs. Something that wasn’t really there. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:54

  I’m better now. I know it was just nerves talking. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:50

  I know @screamqueen is still upstairs in the library. She’s not skinless and standing in front of the pantry door. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:48

  Besides, we went down for half an hour. I can’t have gone back up that quickly. See? It’s impossible. #connollyhouse #butisawher

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:45

  Just like women without skin, standing in front of the pantry door, are impossible. #connollyhouse #shesaidmyname

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:40

  I think I need to go down again. I can find @deadhot. He’ll tell me this is all a prank. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:38

  I’ll even forgive him. #connollyhouse #itsnotaprank #getout #timeisbroken

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:25

  I think I’m back to where I was when we got separated. I’m going farther down. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:20

  The scratches on the walls are getting denser and denser. I can almost read them. I almost know what they say. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:18

  I . . . I don’t think I want to know what they say. #connollyhouse #weshouldntbehere

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:13

  who would write such terrible things o god the things the walls are saying to me make them stop. #connollyhouse #somethingiswrong

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:10

  dont make me listen to the walls I cant I cant I cant I #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 19:00

  OK. I’m back. I’m . . . I’m sorry. I just lost track of myself for a little while. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 18:57

  Something is wrong with the way the corners are shaped. They have too many angles. Or maybe not enough? #connollyhouse #somethingiswrong

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 18:53

  I don’t think corners are supposed to change when you stop looking at them. I think that’s against the rules. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 18:50

  please someone reply to me why isn’t anyone replying are these even making it out of here. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 18:45

  maybe they’re all queuing up won’t that be fun when I come back into a service zone. #connollyhouse

  Boo Peep @boo_peep • 18:41

  why is the camera on the ground? We don’t get footage when the camera is on the ground. #connollyhouse
