I need a good ghost story/scary mystery story to tell about a secret room?

So at the camp that I go to, me and some of my friends found this creepy old looking random door that led to a secret room with the windows painted over and everything. We don’t know what its used for but we want to tell the new kids coming to camp a scary story involving the room. Any suggestions?

It was owned by a very intelligent and well educated Yale graduate named Willard Mathew Hannigan who graduated with a major in Art at the same time as George W. Bush. He was a member of an elite group of wealthy people who were dedicated to regime change in central America. At one point he worked as an agent for the CIA. He was responsible for overthrow of the Nicaraguan government. Through it all he remained obsessed with Nazis and great works of art. He was a frustrated painter and sculptor.

After he retired, he became paranoid that someone was out to get him. He said that Dick Cheney was behind 9/11 and that Dick was trying to kill him because he knew too much. The stress led to further mental instability. He could trust no one. Over time, he retreated further into his dark obsessions. Still, he was lonesome. Because he felt that anyone could be a setup, he never went to the same bar, club, or theater twice. He’d try to pick up men or women, but they were too suspicious of this strange man who seemed maniacal.

Over time, he started to talk to himself and painted over the windows so that spy satellites could not see inside. He became very lonely. That’s when he decided that he could only trust young people who he could snatch from the woods. He could not help himself. He would wait behind a tree near one of many youth camps in the area, waiting silently for a single young person to pass by. He would act swiftly with a handkerchief of anesthesia covering the young person’s mouth and nose. When the young person awoke, he or she would find himself or herself duct taped to a chair.

Willard was talkative and the young child would cry scream and yell with anger, but there was no one near by this place at that time. He knew that he could either persuade them to be friends or he would have to kill them. The first four young people he snatched from different camps. When he disposed of the bodies, he made sure the bodies were returned to a place near the camp and make it seem like a swimming or boating accident.

Eventually, he was persuaded that one of his captors would be his true friend. He began to trust Evelyn and allow her freedom to come and go out of the house. Eventually, she was able to get a clean get away and a good head start. She went straight away to the police.

Somehow, a local CIA agent was able to respond before the news got out. This agent was able to produce a cover story about the young woman being a runaway and a perpetual liar. He took Evelyn away, saying her name was really Jane Rodgers. Somehow, a decomposed body was found in a river that matched Evelyn’s dental records. The story goes that Willard donated this property and left for South America. Most people around here believe he never survived the wrath of Dick Cheney. His body will never be found. However, to this day, camp members see shadows behind trees and in the room that he used to hold his captives.
