An investigator explores the catacombs beneath an abandoned psychiatric hospital where sinister experiments were conducted on patients to create "super soldiers", finding a diary detailing the experiments. He discovers the hospital is haunted by the trapped souls of the dead super soldiers, who are being manipulated by dark forces. Upon finding a list of patient surnames, the investigator has a lamp fall on him, suggesting the super soldiers don't want their secrets revealed.

1. The investigators Christine Mac Cormack and John Carter received a
phone call about a crime of a Celebrity.
The celebrity was a very famous young actress that was murdered under
very suspicious circumstances. She was very popular because she had
acted in important films that were seen by a lot of people in the whole
world.
She was alone in her mansion when she was killed. Her body was found
on the floor at the front door. The investigators thought that she was
trying to escape from someone. She had been hit on the head with a gun.
But the gun wasn´t there.
Her husband is a 70 years old; he is an important business man. They got
married last year. He owns one of the best hotels in Las Vegas.
The investigators decided to go and see him to ask some questions and
when they arrived at the mansion, they were received by the husband in
person.
-What were you doing at 9.30 last night when your wife was killed?-
asked Christine Mac Cormack.
- At 9.30 pm mmm... let me think ... I was talking with japanese business
men to close a contract between them and my company. I´m the person
who found my wife dead. - the husband said.
- We know that your wife was a very rich person. Is there anybody that
hated her or something? - John Carter said.
- I don´t know that but some of their jewerly are missing. Only my wife
and the housekeeper knew the code to the box safe - said the business
man.
Suddenly they heard a hard noise and they saw the housekeeper escaping
from the house.
- The housekeeper had been listening behind the door. - said the police.
Then the persecution of the woman began, until she surrendered.
The housekeeper confessed that she killed the actress:
- ¡I always had hated her because she was beautiful and had a fortune!

Jake woke up that morning at 7am. He felt scared about the
nightmare he had just had, but he ignored it and continued with
his morning. It was a foggy day, like the whole week had been.
He looked around the house but no one was up wet, so he had
breakfast on his own and headed to school.
That afternoon he went to the park to meet the friend he had
dreamed of, Emma. They were sitting on a bench talking about
life and eating some ice cream as always, when suddenly a black
cat appeared. Emma followed the creature and it leaded her to
the middle of a road, where she was crashed by a huge truck that
came out of nowhere. Jake was in shock and started crying on his
friend’s corpse.
To his amazement, he woke up again all sweaty and shaky in his
bed. Had it been just a dream or real life, he wondered. He
desperately started to call Emma, but the phone kept ringing and
there was no answer. Luckily, by the seventh rang she picked up.
He was extremely relieved and told her to meet at the park as
soon as possible. Once she arrived they started to talk and went
for some ice cream. After a while he started to notice that the
exact same things from his dream were happening. And as soon
as he saw the black cat, he freaked out and decided to take her
to a place far from there.
She was safe then, Jake thought. He took Emma to a fair in the
town center, which was so crowded he figured she wouldn’t be
at risk. They went up to the terrace to admire the view, when in
the blink of an eye she slipped and fell down the stairs, hitting
the back of her head against the ground. He tried to grab her
hand but he couldn’t save her. Again, she was dead.
This dream occurred over and over again. It came to the point
when he felt he was going insane. No matter what he did or how
hard he tried to change it, she would always end up dead. This
went on for about a week when he decided he had had enough
of this nightmare. Jake asked her to the park like the first time,
they talked and had ice cream; but this time, when the truck
came, he threw himself on the road and pushed Emma out of it.
This time he was the one lying under the truck, and she was the
one crying on his body.
The next morning Emma woke up in her bed at 7am terrified by
the horrible nightmare she had just had about her friend, Jake.

Nobody knows how Peter Maxwell came to Buenos Aires; however He was
a thorn in everyone side. He made cheap dangerous buildings.
He was a dirty man and had a bad smell. He was disgusting to be seen. His
nose had pimples and his whole head was full of blisters.
Two employees took care of the business for him, however they hated
him too because of his miserable behavior with them. He denied them
higher salaries, and they had to work many long hours. They could not
quit their jobs because he caught them stealing and he always threatened
to call the Police.
He sold each apartment for 300,000.00 USD, taking 70% in advance from
each future owner. His employees convinced everyone to invest that
money quantity telling that that each apartment would have the best
materials for construction. Little did they know, that he used that money
to create a state of the art penthouse at the top of the building. It was the
most luxurious and smart, full of the latest technology.
Mr. Maxwell kept all of the money in dirty paper bags and old coffee cans
in the kitchen. He built by hand a tall cabinet, where he stacked all the
bags and cans like brick and mortar. It was so high, that his employees
could not reach them.
He built the building with cheap materials, the walls were made of durlock
and the wires were very thin. The building had 36 apartments and many
families lived there.
One night, the architect suffered the worst of tragedies. His own super
smart pent house turned on him! Some of the tiny wires in the apartment
below had short-circuited. The super compute in the penthouse detected
this and closed all of the windows and doors. While the fire continued to
rise and burning the floor, the super computer released gas into the
penthouse to suffocate the fire, but it didn’t realize that there was a
human inside.
The firemen came quickly to evacuate the building. Peter Maxwell was
sitting on his brown leather armchair from the private collection of the
Peron Family watching T.V., However did not hear the alarm. Peter
Maxwell was Deaf. Not being able to hear the alarm, and being made very
sleepy from the anti-flametory gas, Mr. Maxwell took very little notice to
the heat coming from the floor.
Firemen tried to save everyone in the building. But nobody, not even his
employees, mentioned that Peter Maxwell was on the top floor. The
flames got so high that they swallowed him whole.

It was raining heavily when I heard the noise. It came from outside the
house. I went out immediately; in that moment, a thunder hit the house
and I could see a shadow through the second floor window. I decided to
take an axe from the porch and went upstairs looking for the stranger. I
was feeling incredibly terrified. While I was walking silently I heard a door
open and a voice saying `who is there?´ Then I saw a child and I went
towards him to grab him, but I couldn´t. So I looked at myself in a mirror
but I couldn´t see my reflection. At that point, I realized that I was a ghost
and that I had been long dead.

bad dream.

English Institute or a horrific Neuropsiquiatric?
It was a cold morning and it was raining. A Great storm was coming from the
horizon and an icy wind crossed the deserted streets of Buenos Aires. A huge
and heavy iron door surrounded by the imposing wall of 8 meters in height was
hiding the sumptuous English style farmhouse located in the centre of the place.
Many years ago, this house belonged to one of the richest families in the
country, but it was abandoned after the great epidemic. Many people affected
by the plague were sent there, where they were protected and fed until death
beat the large iron gates. The large area of 2 hectares soon became the
cemetery of the city, receiving dozens of bodies every day. Of course, that
happened a long time now, and the government then decided to use the
facilities to open the new Centre for Mental Health called “The Penguins”. It was
not an ideal place to open a psychiatric hospital since it was at the centre of a
city in full growth, but the need to save a few pesos and the impenetrable walls
and watch towers, allowed to save the darkest secrets without major
difficulties. In fact, there were very few secrets which climbed those stone walls.
I could only find a few documents in Prague, about certain cargoes and
equipment to the mental health centre in Buenos Aires. For several years, I
gathered clippings from newspapers of this time, about some weird noises and
disappearances in the place. The most important track that I had to solve the
mystery was the diary of Doctor Kestnor, the great professor and friend of my
great grandfather. And there I was that morning of July, accompanied by the
darkness and cold of a great storm that was coming. It was not difficult to enter
if you knew the secret tunnel that went from one of the arms of the Rio de la
Plata, now commonly called Riachuelo, until the deep catacombs located 10
meters below the main floor of the English Style farmhouse. The map of the
tunnel was hidden in one of the numerous and expensive handbag of the
deceased wife of the doctor Kestnor, Mrs. Kristine Kestnor. The handbag with
the map had passed into the hands of his son Max and then was passed from
hand to hand until I was able to buy it from an evil collector called Maurice
Acrim. I also knew the ancient secret that hid the tunnel. In days of storms such
as this one, the tunnel could become a deadly trap for the unwary people, since
water could flood the tunnel completely in just 2 minutes, and I could not
escape of this place until water went out.
The storm began to unleash his fury when I arrived at the catacombs. The light
of my lamp was my best friend at that time, it protected me from the gigantic
monster of darkness whose jaws, seemed to want to swallow me each time. I
walked by a narrow and long hall for about 40 minutes. To my left, there were
numerous cells with strong wooden doors in which some old human bones
could be seen scattered on the dusty floors. To my right, a bottomless abyss,
expected attentive to each of my steps. The professor Knestor had written in his
diary, all the possible places where it could be hidden the list with the surnames
of the patients and a detailed explanation of the experiments that were made

7. on them. The patients were subjected to specials cocktail with mutagenic drugs,
combined with hypnosis and others treatments which included staying in
electromagnetic fields and watching subliminal videos. The aim was to select
individuals with a less functional and weaker cerebral cortex and, also, with a
more powerful pituitary gland and greater ability to respond to
neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine or dopamine. A great pituitary gland
with a poor cerebral cortex was a perfect combination to create a kind of human
being capable of receiving orders without questioning. In this case, the instincts
would dominate the brain instead of the reason, and by using hypnosis and low
frequency waves to communicate with the subconscious mind, the patients
would obey the orders their own brains, which would be controlled by other
people. In addition, a good dose of adrenaline and dopamine could result in a
feeling of pleasure and lack of fear which is could make them execute the orders
without contradictions.
Manageable people disposed to obey, courageous and addicted enough to
comply with their duty, in few words, the perfect soldiers or presidents.
All this information were in the diary that I had for 25 years. Hundreds of men
and women were recruited, selected, treated and trained by 4 generations, to
obtain the best possible results... but something strange happened to those
patients who were included in the list that I am looking for, which should be
found in any office of the third floor according to the diary. No one was sure, but
apparently this great power of the subconscious mind and its relationship with
the electromagnetic fields generated in all living or dead things of the world had
been underestimated. That knowledge was too big and it was the reason of this
big mistake. No one could assume that when the super soldiers die, they would
lost their existence only on the physical plane, but remained trapped between
the physical and the spiritual world. The electromagnetic fields generated by the
house, fed constantly by dark energies from the surrounding area, acted as a
large prison for the dead super soldiers and their souls remained locked up
there. However, they felt the same need and pleasure to obey orders, such as a
drug for their lost spirits. Only now, those who gave the orders were not living
people. Now, other f darker and more dangerous forces, which emerged in the
era of the great epidemic, were manipulating the souls of the super soldiers to
act in the physical world. The super soldiers trapped, somehow, could have
influence on the matters of the physical world. According to some diary notes, it
was rumoured that the super soldiers could get scares, sick or even kill people
within the limits of the stone walls of the psychiatric hospital. Many times, its
presence could be detected by sudden and intense cold, strange noises, or by
shadows that appear on the walls. If I can find the list, I believe that I can prove
that some very distant relatives of the super soldiers, who were born many
years after the death of them, are being used without knowing it, to fulfil the
tasks assigned by the dark forces. The super soldiers could use their energy,
which remains tied in some way to these distant relatives, to attract them to the
hospital and manipulate them to fulfil the wishes of the dark forces in the
worldly plane.

8. If any of these relatives worked in the hospital many years later, I can compare
the last names of them with those of the super soldiers in the list, and in this
way I can prove my theory and the existence of the dead super soldiers. I finally
arrived at the third floor and found an old desktop where could be the list. I took
the key, which was saved by my family for more than 70 years. Now, finally, the
key would reach its true destination in that drawer of that old desktop. I opened
the drawer and I took the small piece of paper with the five last names but I did
not care for the shadow behind the desk, on the wall. Suddenly, the heavy glass
lamp was moved and started to fall but I was not wearing helmet.
Today, there is no more a psychiatric hospital in the place. However, strange
noises and shadows, can still be heard and be seen at the English Institute that
works today in Av Entre Ríos 500, where was the hospital. I can still remember
the 5 surnames on the list but nothing can be done. 1) Sachella 2) Mojsa 3)
Herrera 4) Carricaburu and 5) Segato.
