La casa matusita... True or fake?

In our peruvian lives we all, at least one time, have listened about La Casa Matusita. This old yellow house in the Avenida España.
The legend goes that the house was the scene of a horrible crime; one story claims that a Japanese-Peruvian slaughtered his family and the committed suicide, while another holds that a formal dinner party turned into a massacre after the guests were given hallucinogens.

Ever since, reports are that the second floor has been haunted, with no one able to enter and maintain his or her sanity. In the 1960s, a television reporter was alleged to have gone crazy after entering the building in an effort to prove believers wrong. The second floor remains allegedly remains vacant.
Skeptics have another explanation, however. They say that the ghost stories were invented by the US Embassy, which was located next door during the height of the Cold War. The diplomats feared that someone hiding in the house could spy on the embassy, and fabricated the stories to keep people out.

In the personal way, I've to say something. Years ago, at the left of the house was the school Nazareno. Well, my dad studied there. He told me that 5th grade was at the side of this house. He told me that when the were punished, the have to stay the night at the school, cleaning it. Many nights the heard like dragging chains or how the doors be strongly closed. Nowadays his school is a hostel still being at the side of the house. Fake or not, I want to enter to this house and see what really happens, but who knows?...
