Many years ago an old man lived in the yellow house.

He had a wife or children and lived with

his servants, a butler, and a cook. The man occupied the 2nd floor of the yellow house and his
servants lived on the ground floor.

The man was ill-tempered and treated his servants very badly, constantly mistreating and
insulting them. The servants were filled with hatred for the man and vowed to someday get their
revenge. They came up with a plan to publicly embarrass their employer.

One day, the old man was holding a dinner party. When his guests arrived and were seated in the
dining room, the servants decided to take their revenge. They had obtained illegal hallucinogenic
drugs (LSD) and put them in the food they were serving to the man and his guests.

Then the servants walked out, quietly locking the dining room door behind them. They retired to
the kitchen to await the results of their plan. After about 15 minutes, they heard angry voices and
the sound of plates smashing. They chuckled to themselves. This was followed by violent yells
and blood-curdling screams. The servants began to get worried.

After the noises had died down, the butler and the cook opened the door of the dining room and
were horrified by the gruesome scene they discovered inside. The walls and ceiling were
splattered with blood. On the floor lay mangled bodies and body parts – eyes, hands, internal
organs, severed heads. The faces of the guests were twisted masks of hate and terror.

Every guest at the dinner party, including the old man, had met a brutal and terrifying end.
Driven insane by the hallucinogenic drugs, the guests had murdered each other in the most
appalling ways imaginable.

The sight of so much savagery caused the servants to lose their minds. Horrified by the massacre
they had caused and fearing they would be executed by the law, the servants took their own
lives, hanging themselves from the ceiling of the dining room.

Ever since then, the yellow house in Peru had a reputation for being haunted. Most people were
afraid to go near the place. It is said that the house began to fall to ruin until it was purchased
years later by a property developer.

Later, a Japanese family moved into the house. They were completely unaware of the history of
the old building and its fearsome reputation. The night they moved in, the husband took a knife
and murdered his entire family before killing himself.

After that, the house lay vacant for many years until a local priest was asked to perform an
exorcism there. The owners wanted the house to be cleansed so that it could be sold. The priest
entered the first floor with no problem. It was when he set foot on the second floor had a panic
attack that resulted in his death.

Another of the best-known cases is that of Humberto Vera Vilchez, in the 1960s, a television
host made a bet live on air, saying that he would be able to spend seven nights alone inside the
house. He managed to stay one night, and the next morning, he was found lying outside on the
pavement. He had lost his mind and had to be confined to a mental asylum. He was never heard
from again.

It is said that from time to time, ghostly screams and yells can be heard coming from La Casa
Matusita. Some people have even seen ghostly figures lurking in the 2nd-floor windows. Today,
the 1st floor of the yellow house is rented out to a business.

The 2nd floor is kept unoccupied and securely locked. According to legend, if a group of people
goes to stay the night on the 2nd floor of the yellow house, they will go insane during the night
and slaughter each other, re-enacting the terrible events that happened there years before.
