1356 Pladmeigher Road

In a small suburban town just north of Indianapolis, Indiana, there was a quiet neighborhood where nothing exciting happened. In fact, nothing exciting had ever happened there. This neighborhood was completely normal.

This small suburban town was called Carmel, and the quiet neighborhood was named West Oaklington. There was a little white house in the middle of 1356 Pladmeigher Road which was the residence of one M.R. Shurman and his family. They were completely normal.

If you were to venture inside the little white house, I’d imagine you’d find a perfectly safe habitat with comfy furnishings and a homey feel. The home was completely normal.

Should you decide to go down to the basement, which was considerably cooler than the rest of the house, you would find a large plasma flat-screen tv, a foosball table, a bar, and a very cozy loveseat. The basement was completely normal.

In the wall near the back corner of the basement there was an old, obscure wooden door. The door was not completely normal.
