Paranormal House: Honiara

The Kilu Cave Mystery

Daniel, David, Joseph, and Samuel were four religious leaders from different denominations in the Solomon Islands. They had formed a team to investigate the myths and legends of their country, as well as any paranormal and supernatural activities that they encountered. They had a common belief that God had created all things, and that some of his creatures and mysteries were hidden from the eyes of most people. They also believed that they had a duty to protect the people from any evil forces that might harm them.

One day, they received an invitation from a local chief on Buka Island, who asked them to come to his village and help him with a problem. . He said that some of his people had gone missing after entering the cave, and that others had reported hearing strange noises and seeing eerie lights coming from the cave at night. He said that he had tried to consult the traditional healers and the Catholic priests, but none of them could find a solution. He said that he had heard of the team's reputation and hoped that they could solve the mystery.

The team agreed to take the case and traveled to Buka Island by boat. They met with the chief and his elders, who welcomed them warmly and offered them food and shelter. They also gave them some background information about the Kilu Cave. They said that the cave was sacred to their ancestors, who had left behind many artifacts and paintings on the cave walls. They said that the cave was also a source of fresh water and food, as it had a stream and a variety of plants and animals inside. They said that the cave was usually peaceful and beneficial, but that recently it had become corrupted and dangerous. They said that they did not know what had caused the change, but that they suspected that it had something to do with the arrival of some foreign researchers who had visited the cave a few months ago. They said that the researchers had claimed to be archaeologists, but that they had acted suspiciously and had taken away some of the artifacts and samples from the cave. They said that after the researchers left, the cave started to show signs of evil.

The team thanked the chief and his elders for their hospitality and their information. They decided to visit the cave the next day, when the sun was high and bright. They prepared their equipment and their prayers, and asked God to guide them and protect them. They also asked the chief and his elders to pray for them and to stay away from the cave until they returned.

The next morning, the team set off for the Kilu Cave, which was about an hour's walk from the village. They followed a narrow path through the jungle, until they reached the base of a limestone cliff, where the cave entrance was located. The cave was large and dark, and had a sign that said "Kilu Cave Archaeological Site" in English and Tok Pisin. The sign also had a logo that said "Solomon Islands National Museum" and a warning that said "Do not enter without permission". The team ignored the sign and entered the cave, carrying their flashlights and their crosses.

The cave was spacious and cool, and had a high ceiling that was covered with stalactites. The team followed the stream that flowed through the cave, and admired the paintings and the carvings on the cave walls. They saw images of animals, plants, people, and symbols, some of which they recognized and some of which they did not. They also saw some of the artifacts that the ancestors had left behind, such as stone tools, pottery, shells, and bones. They wondered what the ancestors had used them for, and what stories they had to tell.

As they ventured deeper into the cave, they noticed that the atmosphere changed. The cave became darker and colder, and the stream became murkier and slower. The paintings and the carvings on the cave walls became more distorted and sinister, and the artifacts became more broken and scattered. They also started to hear some noises that made them uneasy, such as whispers, groans, and scratches. They felt a presence that was watching them and waiting for them.

They reached a point where the cave split into two branches, one going to the left and one going to the right. They decided to split up and explore both branches, and agreed to meet back at the junction in half an hour. Daniel and David went to the left, and Joseph and Samuel went to the right.

Daniel and David followed the left branch, which led them to a large chamber that had a pool of water in the center. The pool was dark and still, and had a foul smell. The chamber was also filled with bones, some of which belonged to animals and some of which belonged to humans. Daniel and David felt a chill in their spines, and wondered what had happened in this place. They decided to take a closer look at the pool, and approached it cautiously.

As they neared the pool, they saw something move in the water. It was a large, scaly creature that had a long, snake-like body and a crocodile-like head. It had sharp teeth and claws, and glowing red eyes. It emerged from the pool and lunged at them, roaring loudly. Daniel and David were shocked and terrified, and tried to run away. But the creature was faster and stronger, and caught them easily. It bit Daniel's leg and dragged him into the pool, while David watched helplessly. David screamed and prayed, and tried to reach for his cross. But the creature noticed him and attacked him too, knocking him down and tearing his throat. David's blood spilled into the pool, and his life faded away.

Joseph and Samuel followed the right branch, which led them to a small chamber that had a fire pit in the center. The fire pit was lit and had a metal tripod over it, with a large pot hanging from it. The chamber was also filled with jars, bottles, and bags, some of which contained herbs and spices and some of which contained body parts and fluids. Joseph and Samuel felt a disgust in their stomachs, and wondered what had happened in this place. They decided to take a closer look at the pot, and approached it cautiously.

As they neared the pot, they saw something stir in it. It was a thick, bubbling stew that had a foul smell. The stew had various ingredients, some of which were edible and some of which were not. They saw carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic, but they also saw eyes, ears, fingers, and hearts. Joseph and Samuel were shocked and horrified, and tried to back away. But they heard a voice behind them, saying "Welcome, my guests. I hope you are hungry. I have prepared a special meal for you." They turned around and saw a man standing in the shadows. He was tall and thin, and had a pale and wrinkled skin. He had long and greasy hair, and a long and crooked nose. He had a smile that was wicked and cruel, and eyes that were black and cold. He was holding a large knife and a wooden spoon. He was the leader of the researchers who had visited the cave a few months ago. He was also a cannibal and a sorcerer. He had used his magic and his madness to corrupt the cave and to lure his victims. He had killed and eaten many of the villagers and the visitors, and had used their remains to make his potions and his spells. He had also summoned and controlled the creature that lived in the pool, and had used it to guard his lair. He had been waiting for the team to come, and had planned to make them his next meal. He said "Don't be shy, my friends. Come and join me. I have plenty to share. And don't worry, I won't waste anything. I use every part of the body, for food and for fun. You will see, it is a delicious and delightful experience." He laughed and moved towards them, waving his knife and his spoon. Joseph and Samuel were scared and angry, and tried to fight back. But the man was faster and smarter, and dodged their attacks. He stabbed Joseph's chest and scooped out his heart, while Samuel watched helplessly. Samuel cried and cursed, and tried to reach for his cross. But the man noticed him and attacked him too, slashing his face and breaking his jaw. Samuel's blood spilled into the fire pit, and his life faded away.

The man then dragged the bodies of the team to his pot, and added them to his stew. He stirred the stew and tasted it, and smiled with satisfaction. He said "Mmm, this is good. This is very good. They were strong and brave, and had a lot of faith. Their flesh and their blood have a lot of flavor and a lot of power. I will enjoy this meal very much. And I will use their souls for my next spell. I will make the cave even more evil and more dangerous. I will make it my kingdom, and I will rule over it. No one will be able to stop me. No one will be able to escape me. I will be the master of the Kilu Cave, and the Kilu Cave will be the master of the Solomon Islands." He laughed and ate, and ate and laughed.
