- In Imo state, there is a mysterious house called “House of death”

- The owner of the house remains a mystery till date
In the semi-urban of Imo state, south East Nigeria, the unthinkable is said to be happening in a mysterious house south of the state capital.
Amaigbo village, Umu-Anu community Nwangele local government area of the state is currently playing host to a mysterious house called “House of Death.”
According to WITHIN NIGERIA findings, the house is said to belong to millions of gods in Amaigbo Umu-Anu in Imo state, which has not be known by most people.
Located very close to the popular state School of Nursing, the duplex is said to have continued to churn out mysterious activities to the awe of the residents.
In a chat with one of the community dwellers, Chinedu Dibia, “the man who built the house you see on the picture was unknown to the villagers till date. No one lives in the house, but at night there will be light in the house without NEPA or EDDC electric cable attached to the house, or even a sound of a generator from the house.”
According to Mr. Dibia, “the most fearful thing about the house is that it has no entrance, no gate. I mean just a fence built around the building with no entrance into the building.”
Narrating further, he told our reporter that “in 2012, a young boy called Ebuka Ikechuku was inquisitive to know what is inside the house. His people warned him seriously against taking interest in the activities or things of the mysterious house but he never heeded the advice. He thought it was just a myth and such thing never existed.
Then, one day, out of his curiosity, he jumped in from the fence and entered the “house of death”, but did not make it out till date. Nobody saw him again. Till date, nobody saw his corpse. Everybody was afraid going in there to look for him for fear of losing their life to these mysterious happenings.”
However, another resident of the community, Jude Ohaeri told our reporter that “even clothes being hung within the house changes colour also.
According to him, ”in 2005, it was also believed a woman who was pregnant, was standing near the window in the building crying, with blood on her face. When she closed back the window, till date nobody knew how she vanished.
“Also in 2018, some children were playing football and mistakenly shot the ball into the building, but the ball was thrown back to them. The boy who shot the ball into the building died at midnight that same night because the gods of the house demanded for the little boy by knocking on their door.”
All efforts by our reporter to get the comment of the Police Public Relations Officer, Imo state police command, ASP Henry Okoye proved abortive as his phone number was not going through.
