Abandoned House

Coverage of the abandoned house.
Below is a summary of what a newspaper reporter told me about the coverage of the abandoned house.
I didn't have time before, so please take this as a reference.
1. History of the Manor
They say there were several villages around the manor until the 1900s, but today only the manor house remains.
Even the land owner does not know when or why it was built.
Now only the area around the entrance is left, but originally it was a huge manor -- deep and strangely-shaped.
It seems on old maps, a shrine is occasionally drawn in, but now there exists not so much as a trace of it and not much is known about it.
But on the outlying mountains, it seems a myth-like story is told that is connected to the other world.
2. The rumour of the ghost manor may be due to the myth, but since long ago, the abandoned house has been called a ghost manor. Many people visit it just because of that rumor.
The rumor is that "you can meet the dead at the Manor," and further, that "the dead you meet will summon you to the other world."
The rumor's origins are said to be in séances that were held in a shrine there, but that's merely a rumor too.
In any case, I think the story of the mountain "connected to the other world" is the source of the rumor.
