Story behind the haunted house in Ruiru
Erected in 1990, this house sits stoically, less than 20 meters from the bustling Ruiru-Kiambu road, yet remains untouched by human occupancy for over 30 years.
Adjacent to it stands “Moon Hunters,” a lively abode constructed in the early 2000s, its rooms are reportedly filled with the laughter and stories of its inhabitants.
