  • misterwolf @nickienicks @castingsinmyblood @otsutsuki @mirandaandmariah @xxx_fallengalaxyxxx @samanthaharmon @thepinkmenace and @robertcooper Alright guys. So before you dive into Horror Mansion, I just want to say to any Brian Barczyk fans that if they didn't know, then it's with great sadness and regret that I tell you this. Unfortunately, Brian passed away four days ago. And it really, really sucks. The next story I'm going to do is going to be a dedication to his memory, and it's going to be the sequel to The Marksman. The reason it's going to be dedicated to his memory is because it's gonna about Sasha Calle's character in that one trying to honor her father's legacy, and that's exactly what Brian's son is trying to do for his dad. Please give your regards to Brian's family and his crew on YouTube, and yes, you can prove I'm right by looking at the community posts of his channel and its latest video that came out today. Anyways, enjoy! And rest in peace and proudness, Brian! 🙏🙏🙏

After receiving numerous threats from the South Carolina state that it will wrongly take away her daughter Kaylee due to its belief that people with health disorder do not deserve to raise children, Brianna decides to move out of the state with her.

Brianna quickly calls a paranormal investigation team, consisting of her friend and retired superior Donald Quinn, his best friend Jonathan Wilders, preacher Danny Wilson, second-in-command Robert Fredericks, and Don's wife Sarah, and led by Professor Frank Tucker.

In the locked bedroom of the house, which was the bedroom of Brianna's parents, is entered by Fredericks, who is swiftly killed by an unidentified ghost. His screams echo from across the top floor and it startles everyone, indicating that the team is now aware of his death. Wilson is gravely injured and is forced to lie down in Brianna's bedroom, as it is the only safe place within the house, while Quinn, who was climbing a ladder to search the attic, is suddenly killed as well, upsetting Sarah.

  • misterwolf Kaylee becomes frightened when she witnesses a demonic entity attacking Sarah, and when it overpowers Brianna after she prevents it from killing Sarah, a recovering Wilson saves her and draws the creature away with a torch. Finally coming face-to-face with the ghosts of her parents, Brianna becomes cornered and is out of power within her gear; she is saved at the last minute by Kaylee, who had previously grabbed the gear of Fredricks, whose ghost had almost killed her. She then empties the gear and resupplies her mother's with the resources required for both, before they reunite with the remaining team.

  • misterwolf On what Brianna, who does not expect for herself, Kaylee, and the team to survive, believes to be the final night, is approached by the same demonic entity Kaylee encountered. It eventually attacks her, and it subsequently injures her left leg; after Kaylee fails to save her mother from it and she is knocked unconscious, the creature reveals itself to be Quinn himself, having masqueraded as a ghost hunter. He adds that the real Quinn died a few years after Brianna was discharged, and also unmasks himself as the killer of her parents. Wilson fails to exorcize Quinn and send him to Hell, but he gives Brianna his cross and tells her to press it to her own head before he is also knocked out. As she places the cross on her forehead, the ghosts of her parents, the real Quinn, and Fredericks appear, and witness several flashbacks from the cross that the possessed Quinn had, in fact, killed and manipulated them. Realizing the truth, they stab Quinn and use the cross to paralyze him, and then drag him away as Brianna and a reawakened Wilson carry Kaylee out of the house and escape with Tucker.
