The Haunted House Confession
Where did you find Chante that day? She was walking past the mailboxes, and I had stopped and asked her if she needed a ride, and she got in my truck.

Music. I was letting her go through all my music, and every time she'd play a song, she'd say something like, oh, that's my song.

Out of nowhere, I just put my left arm around her and began to strangle her. And whenever she had passed out, I took her clothes off and I raped her.

I threw her over that fence and then climbed over the fence and dragged her to that tank battery where I had put her. But before I threw her in there, I went back to my truck and got a lawnmower blade out of the back of my truck. And I went back to where she was and I beat her to death with it. I had stomped on her chest as well.

I think whatever came over me knew that she was an easy target.

The Haunted House Confession
It's like this different part of me that just wants nothing but destruction and evil. It wanted to kill somebody. It wanted to rape. How long have you been having those thoughts before this happened? I've always had these thoughts. We used to have a chihuahua, and I tried on numerous occasions to drown that chihuahua in a five-gallon bucket of water.

But I would just hold it there long enough to where I would just think to myself, what am I doing?

Then I'm sorry that I did what I did. And whatever I have coming towards me, I deserve. What do you think you deserve? Death for sure.
