“Secrets of the Silent House”

 “Secrets of the Silent House” 

If you drive around the Murray Barracks roundabout coming from Boroko or Hohola — or head down the 2-Mile road just before the Foodland bus stop — you can’t miss it. That rundown house, standing there in dull silence, seems almost frozen in time.

I grew up in Port Moresby, and I’ve always been haunted by questions about it. Who lived there? Who built it? What secrets does it hold? And most of all… why was it left to rot away, abandoned to the creeping shadows of time?

Every time I pass it, I feel like the walls are whispering stories I’ll never hear — memories of laughter, arguments, and lives that once filled its rooms. But the answers remain hidden, tucked away in the corners, as if waiting for someone brave enough to uncover them.

If you know anything — stories, old photos, memories, anything at all about the house near Foodland (just before the bus stop) — I’d love to hear it. Help bring the silence to life. Let’s uncover the mystery together.
