 Amanda Berry's daughter (little Joycelyn) was born while her mum was in captivity in a very small inflated pool that would make it easy to clean the mess.

According to news TV WKYC, one of her fellow captives Michelle Knight was coerced by Ariel Castro to deliver the baby, having been told if the baby dies. She will be killed too.

This is just some of the chilling details to have been revealed from the house been deemed as the "house of horrors"in Cleveland.  The 52--year-old kidnapper virtually created the 3 women out of the blue for his own selfish appetite.

 "Disarray", was the only word used by police to described the state of the property at Seymore Avenue after it was stormed on Monday.

There were all kinds of torture instruments found in the house such as chains, ropes, and other bondage devices hanging on walls and ceilings. These devices were used to shackle the victims repeatedly during their 10 years of imprisonment.

There are unconfirmed report that police also found holes in the walls and doors used to pass food for the three women.

"One of the victim was chained to a wall like a trophy", a source told police.

"We have confirmation that they were bound, and there were chains and ropes in the home," chief Michael McGrath of Cleveland police said.

An investigator only known as Mr Samad who have developed a bond with the missing women's family claimed, the women may have suffered several miscarriages in the house due to constant physical assaults by Ariel Castro.

"They were kept in a dungeon with chains. It was a sexual torture chamber run by this guy acting out his sick fantasies,"said Mr Samad.

Though police have not confirmed signs of multiple pregnancy on the women. There is a speculation that Amanda Berry may have had up to 5 miscarriages as a result of punching on her stomach by Ariel.

The victims were repeated raped by Castro and kept in separate rooms in the basement of the property as soon as they were kidnapped when they were still teenagers, police alleged.

Windows on the house were covered with plastic and others were totally blacked out to cover the tracks of the Ariel in his evil act.

"There were places we could never go, there were locks on the basement, locks on the attic and locks on the garage, said Anthony, Ariel's son.

McGrath said, they were not in one room, but they did know each other and they did now each other was there."

The captives were only allowed out of the property to visit a garage located on property twice.

Law enforcement authorities claimed that Castro usually play games by telling the women that he was going out, that was to see if they would try to escape from the house. And this game worked for Ariel Castro for up to 10 years.

McGrath said the only opportunity the women had to escape was on Monday when Amanda raised the alarm and police were called. The women were only allow a limited time on the outside world and that is to watch television, Amanda Berry said, "I have been on TV for the last 10 years" when she call 911.
