Have not posted anything in a while, I've been busy with my personal life a bit and have managed to keep my mind off of this for a while, Well... except for at night.
At the moment have been having some family issues that I must tend to for a while, I will be back to continue this search as soon as it's all sorted out.

Deeper into the rabbit hole
Response to HK: The only thing I've edited was removed some parts where I was just talking to blaize about the house itself. original video was nearly 12 minutes long and about half that time was spent just talking inbetween rooms(which you may notice I cut out with skips)
All audio is unedited which is why it disturbs me.
Also, The video can be watched in 720p on youtube if you make your way there by clicking on the video while it's playing
Video soon
Have returned to the house with my good friend Blaize (Felt safer with some one there with me, glad some one agreed to go eventually), Will be uploading the video shortly once I re-compress it for youtube when I have the time(at the moment it's a raw 1080p video, about 4 gigs in size.)
Expect it to be up around tomorrow evening my time(about 20 hours from now)

Video
I borrowed a HD camera from my friend, it's currently charging.
I'm about to go and get video footage, I need to do it today.
No one wanted to go with me, which kind of sucks as it'd be a great experience to share with other people(yes, the experience of wandering through an abandoned building with a torch and a video camera.)

Quick update
Sorry guys, haven't been posting, I've been feeling really weak, Barely able to get out bed. Currently posting this from my laptop.
The last few days have been really freaky, I keep seeing things out of the corner of my eyes, I've been really scared and am currently extremely sleep deprived.
I swear I could see something, a vague distinct shape of a creature or a man standing at the end of my bed watching over me last night.
I'm not well enough yet, but I may see if I can get some of my friends involved on this search, One of them has a high definition video camera so I will try to exploit that resource if I can get him involved.

Back from the police
Today I went to the police, It took a bit of Q&A but eventually the chief there showed me what he could find.
I assume part of the reason I finally got some information is because my parents are close friends with the chief.
Unfortunately he did not allow me to get a photocopy of any of it as I was not suppose to have seen it in the first place.
Here's what I learnt:
The case was kept very quiet, not many people knew about it and there was next to no media coverage on it.
As far as anyone could figure it was just another random murder case.
However things got weirder as the chief showed me the coroner's report of the young boy(Who was known as Bradley Murphy, I think I forgot to mention this earlier)
It claimed that the cause of death was due to blood loss, Though I do not quite remember specifically what the specific term for that was, The cause of the loss of blood was listed as deep sharp wounds which appeared to be inflicted by a wild animal, With the boy having half of his face clawed off.
Police reports suggested that the parents probably found the children dead, tried to hide then and ran away. But this still doesn't explain the pentragram.
Another theory suggested that they were satanists that were trying to perform a sacrifice, but this theory was simply tossed aside.
The case was never solved.
In response to whoever asked for a highlighted photograph, don't mind my crappy highlighting.
It almost looks like it's had it's face clawed...
I have a feeling that there's more to this than i'm seeing, I refuse to accept that the parents simply ran away.
I must discover what really happened, perhaps there's more clues at the house.

Worried
I've been feeling shit all day, I can't stop thinking about what could have happened to the family that lived there. What's worse is that while going through the pictures for the 20th time I noticed this.
Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a face? Part of me tells me it's just a trick of the lighting, or something to do with the plants but then another part of me is starting to draw links...
The pentagram, a symbol of protection..
The family sealing off part of their house(with children still in it? Why would they do this?)
This photograph...
I'm starting to think this goes beyond rationality, Either the parents went insane or something drove them insane.
I need to find out more.
Tomorrow i'm going to try to go to the police and find out any extra information about the children's deaths, See if there's any records that they'll give me access too.
It's a long shot, but it's all I can think of right now

Starting the search for spring
Hello everyone, My name is Piotr Piotrowicz and I've created this blog to share some of the things that i've discovered and learnt and hopefully update as I learn more about this.
The abandoned house of spring avenue, Everyone knows about it, and yet no one knows anything about it.
It is a typical hang out for drug addicts and the homeless as it is abandoned but no one knows why this was the case. I had known about it for a long time but only yesterday had I decided to actually check it out. Armed with my camera as I love documenting my expeditions I set out on my journey.
It was an interesting experience for me, being able to finally approach this house. From what I recall I'd often seen it when I was younger but my parents always told me to stay away from it due to it being a dangerous and broken down house.
As I approached the house the appearance of it spoke to me in such a deep way in which nothing else ever has. The closer I got the more I could feel a sense neglectfulness surrounding the house, But while neglected by people and being damaged it had created a strong bond with it's natural surroundings(as seen in the photo above).
It was almost as though nature was trying to protect the building itself.
As I entered the house, the sight was typical. Graffiti on the walls and trash all over the floors, This is the first room that I saw, I must say that it seemed quite typical to see the graffiti all over the place, though some of it was quite strange.
I walked past a corridor on my way to the main room, Such a devastating sight to see, It's sad to imagine that a building this large and beautiful could be so destroyed ::Corridor Photo::
once I entered the main room I was a little bit shocked to see a large pentagram, at first I thought it must have been some teenagers doing graffiti for a joke but at closer look it was noticeable that it was painted in normal paint and not spray-paint, The paint appeared aged and cracked. How long has this thing been here for?
::Pentagram Photo 1:: ::Pentagram Photo 2::
I looked around and noticed many symbols on the wall, some of them looked like the people were just stoned and drawing random stuff but then the question that comes to mind is why? What is the point of painting a large pentagram and drawing symbols all over the walls?
::Symbols:: ::More symbols::
A bit worried about this I left the room, something about it just made me feel uneasy, causing me to question the purpose? I suddenly felt a bit unsure about about this house in general and decided to ask the neighbors if they knew anything about it.
This photo was taken just outside the house through the rear exit at the end of the corridor
::Outside::
While deep down I knew this was most likely nothing more than people trying to scare other people, it still made me seek closure, I almost wish I just followed what my gut was telling me and just steered clear all together.
I knocked on the closest neighbours door, The residents were elderly, around 60-70 years old I would say. I introduced myself and expressed my interest in the abandoned house, This seemed to shock them as the look on their face went from happy to worried.. After a few moments they invited me to come inside.
I walked into a beautifully decorated lovely old house, Similar to my parents house but that's unrelated. We took a seat on the couch and the husband (who goes by the name of Arnold) started telling me what he knew.
The house that I was now in was owned by the husband's parents which from whom the husband inherited it. Both buildings were close too 95 years old, and both households were close friends as well as neighbours.
The children would often play together but when Arnold was around 8 years of age during the spring the family suddenly stopped showing up, answering their doors, getting their mail or ever coming out of the house. After a few weeks the once young boy decided to investigate.
What he found was a large pentagram painted in the main room, And what was once a corridor to all the children's rooms was now sealed off by a wall. The rear door was boarded up and shut.
Arnold told his parents, who got the police involved.
A police investigation which involved breaking down the back door discovered the bodies of the children within their rooms mutilated and mauled, But the parents were no where to be found.
At this point I decided to go home to get some rest, I discussed this with a few people for many hours then decided to get some sleep.
My dreams were very vivid and nightmarish, In my dream my curiosity got the best of me so I went back to the house, only this time as I entered from the front... there was no corridor. Only walls.
Scared I turned around and suddenly felt a sharp pain, not being about to see much of anything in the dark other than what my flashlight was pointed at I did not catch a glimpse of what I was dreaming of.
At this point I woke up early in the morning with sharp pain where I felt pain in my dream.
So here I am now, Posting my story on a blog(also twitter http://www.twitter.com/searchforspring) and the curiosity inside me is killing me
I must know what happened that spring.
