BAHAY NA PULA which is otherwise known as Red House and Don Ramon Ilusorio Mansion was built in 1929 on the lands of the Ilusorio family in San Ildenfonso, Bulacan as a family mansion with two storeys. It was made largely out of wood and painted red on the outside, giving it its name. The house was surrounded by large gardens filled with tamarind, camachile, and duhat trees.
During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines in 1942 the house was confiscated by the Imperial Japanese Army and used as barracks and became a place where Youmg Women from Bulcan and |Pampanga were held for months and were used as sex slaves. it also served as a Japanese Military Garrisons where they killed many Filipino soldiers and guerrilla fighters.Due to the crimes against humanity committed by the soldiers in it, the mansion was abandoned by the family after the war and became a haunted house.
