The Martin House -- Is it TRUE OR FALSE?

Built in 1910, the Martin House stands as a mansion beside the Papermill industry in 119 Bayou DR. The house was either named after the Martin Lake or by it's posthumous owner, John Martin, who was a wealthy industrialist apart of the RockTenn company. Little is known about John Martin, but he was deemed as a charitable man with a happy family.

The Stories Behind the Martin House:
Although, records of John Martin have not been confirmed -- it is claimed that such a person had existed during the time and was the mansion's owner. Several years later, John was reportedly under a psychedelic influence, says one of the locals, if not mentally unstable state to where he would frighten his family. John Martin claimed to have a "truer vision", which brought him to inflict self harm among himself. His son(name unknown) had soon discovered that John was painting fallen star symbols in the attic and before he could reach the phone-- the man allegedly murder his family before supposedly killing himself. The weapon was never identified or found.
However, theories have spread for years stating that it was John's son who murdered his family and slit his neck on his bed.
Other speculations suggest that the house was owned by a Satanic cult.


Paranormal Addendum:
Witnesses and locals have claimed that they have heard immense crying from within the house. This remains an unsolved myth but is not confirmed. Investigators have never been able to purge within the premises of the property but have said to seen "figures in the windows." This is unconfirmed.
In early 2012, a group of two teenagers recorded theirselves wondering around the Martin House with no authorization. Just when they were about to enter the house, the camera had shut off and the teenagers were never heard from again.
In late 2014, a young twelve year old boy was arrested for trespassing among private property and brought on his phone to record the windows. With poor quality and lack of audio, his phone's sound device had mysteriously shut down just as he crawled under the electric fence.
That same year, News 13 had gained permission to record the events inside the Martin House for the first time. However, they were only able to access the house through the back door while escorted by the RockTenn security force. The upper portion seemed to be in well-condition, considering it is used to corporate meetings for RockTenn officials. However, as they descended deeper, the bottom floors and basement were rustic and scrapped, unrefined and even somber condition.
Locals claim the property is under demonic possession which is deemed highly unlikely but-- unconfirmed. The evidence to provide that this place is haunted are extremely low, however, Panama City citizens have something else to say. Workers have claimed that they have never had any paranormal or supernatural experience, but have been victim to a severe illness once inside. One of the elites state that there is perhaps a form of supernatural occurrence within the house.

"Many of these recorded and labeled anecdotes seem realistic, but not convincing. I've not been in or around, and possibly, may have never seen the Martin House as I've driven by the Papermill. However, it is my suggestion that I gain permission by the RockTenn company in order to perform my documentary. RockTenn is not a company where you'd expect a whole set of NDAs. Seriously, it's just a marketing association that works on no more than packages..
The stories behind the Martin House is very ambiguous and possibly more complex than to imagine from scratch.  I will ask the RockTenn supervisor(whoever his name will be) to give me a temporary authorized press to investigate with my camcorder and equipment. I will make it clear to him that I'm performing a documentary on my YouTube channel, Darkside Detective.
As I read the stories of the Martin House through blogs and website posts, I couldn't help but feel more intrigued to investigate it. As a beginning investigator and experienced novelist/artist, I knew that I was well-prepared with the skills to journey and disclose many secrets from this place. However, as reading further into these blogs, it made me learn that I should not assume for what is truly going on.
As you dig deeper into the depths of a mystery, it will do no more than confuse you to where it is beyond your intellectual reach. However, unless you're figurative with the minimalistic details and are able to think outside of the box-- then you have a great chance to uncover a mystery. Now, I'm not making assumptions like my friends or my ex would say, but I tell you-- the evidence that other documentaries give to the world can't say that stories like these are any less than convincing. A fool would assume that CGI or frame-tampering were used to depict a shadow figure running down a hall without using reasonable analysis or software knowledge.
The Martin House is full of mysteries and that is proven to us. There is much more to come, soon with this blog. Brandon out."
