I was about 16 years old and I was sleeping over at my buddy's house on a weekend with a few friends. He lived on an acreage on the outskirts of Cranbrook.
We eventually got pretty drunk and felt really brave. About 500 metres from his house was an abandoned house that nobody had been in for two decades. At about 3 am we went out there with flashlights to check it out.
We break the door open and it was the most terrifying thing I've ever seen. It was like walking into an abandoned Fallout 3 house. Everything was still there but covered in mold, dust, and cobwebs. It was basically like stepping into a time machine because everything was late 70s decorated.
We found the door to the basement and we all went down there. In the basement was four elementary school-style desks surrounding a well. When you look down the well there was an iron cage that locked a few feet down so no one could fall in, but beyond that was pure black except for a baby's shoe at the very bottom of the well that you could barely see.
I thought we stumbled across the scene of a creepy baby/child murder scene. Probably the scariest, eeriest thing I've ever seen. My words don't do that abandoned house justice.
