While plenty of wrestling chatter and general life chatter is to be expected from Matt and Nick Jackson in Killing the Business, one element that maybe was not expected in this book is the detailing of the seemingly haunted house the Young Bucks grew up in.

Having moved from their Rancho Cucamonga home to a new house in Hesperia, Nick explains how one of the few benefits of this move was being able to leave the spooky shenanigans of their childhood home behind them.

As Nick puts it in Killing the Business.

"I don't know if I believe in the paranormal, but strange things happened at the old house that we still cannot explain."

Elaborating, Nick makes mention of lights turning themselves on and off, of the TV turning on in the middle of the night, of being too scared to go to the bathroom, of a harrowing encounter that resulted in Matt sitting in the kitchen with two big knives for company, and of something saying their mother's name at the dinner table.

Eerily, on the family's final day in the house, their father revealed that a girl had been shot and killed inside the property several years prior.

In a read that you'd expected to be fun, entertaining, and maybe a little bit emotional, it's genuinely chilling to read Nick's recounting of some massively creepy experiences in the old Massie home.
