THE HOFF HOUSE
A TRUE SOUTHWEST KANSAS GHOST STORY
It was a cool winter day, when my friend and I were out shooting. We were next to a house that was
empty. The house was known as "THE HOFF HOUSE". We had been in the house many times before, and had never felt
anything wrong. That day, however, things were different. Not just feelings, but also the house itself.
we went in just to walk around a little, and from the moment we walked in, we knew there was something wrong. Things
were moved. Curtains that had previously been folded and put away were crumpled on the floor away from the closet where they
should have been. Doors which were in good condition had marks on them. Scratch marks from what we determined
could only be human fingernail scratches. they were too wide to have been from a wild animal of any sort in Southwest
Kansas. There was a rope hanging off the back like someone had been tied to it. What looked to be the remains
of a womans clothes, however they were too shredded to be positively recognized. We went into the basement of the house
and there was a clean spot on the floor, as if it had been cleaned just the day before. If you have spent any time in
Southwest Kansas, you know that the wind and the dust blow, leaving no surface clean for long. The area around the spot
was covered in dust and mouse feces. No footprints or transfer streaks were visible, which would have been impossible
to avoid to get to that spot. There was no blood, dust, or any mater of any kind, it was completely clean, as if recently
mopped. We tried the best we could to find evidence of any sort to explain the condition of the house that night, but
all we knew was that we both felt like we were being watched, also that something very bad had happened there. We searched
everywhere and even set up things so that we would know if something had been there. A week later we went back.
And something (not an animal) had been there and done what we had termed as "follow up". The clothes were gone, the
doors had been scraped, but still that oppressive feeling lingered. To this day, I still feel something wrong if I go
there.
SIR GHOST
SOUTHWEST KANSAS
We investigated "THE HOFF HOUSE" only to find that it was more haunted than the instigator had mentioned to us.
As we walked through, he pointed out that items had been moved, doors opend or closed, items were missing, in total it was
quite different than last he was there. The house was previously put in order only to return to chaos. We all
had a very edgy feeling while in the house. Some of us felt drawn to certain areas, while the others felt repelled.

On the daytime run-by, our host told us about another house we would be passing by. I saw someone looking out the
window at us as we passed by. we were told nobody lived there. It had been vacant and for sale
for many years. It sounded very interresting, but we didn't have permission to investigate so we just had a look
around on the outside that night. We wil be obtaining permission in the near future!!!! The story will have to
wait for confirmation.
| The flash decided not to work for 3 pictures. |
|
| Notice the flashlight glow in the bottom left corner. |
| Look closely at the screendoor. Look again. Again. |

The above picture is the front door of what we are calling "The Vanish House". It has been enlarged only.
The below picture is the original, lightened. There were absolutely no people in that area, except the photographer.
The house was completely empty. No one has lived there for somewhere around 11 years. It was night, there was
no light behind the photographer. The team members have scrutinized this photo to the point of exhaustion. This
is authentic. It is a digital image, not film. The image itself has not been enhanced or altered in any way other
than stated above.
