I have a request, if anyone could help me out with it. I need to know the best way to help along a few visitors.0
I was having a sleep over, with a friend of mine from high school, at my parents house. My parents moved into the house not more than a year before I moved out and for the first three months I had been sleeping upstairs until my brother shipped off to the army.
The basement of the house is like a full apartment, will all the strappings, two bedrooms, a laundry room, a kitchen, bathroom, a small closet that leads into a Panic Room and the living room. The hallway leads back to the bedrooms and passed the closet, and is seperated from the living room by a picture window like hole, big enough for me to lay on when I was living there and stretch out fully. Since I'm 5'11, you get the point about how long it is, and it's probably about half my height wide.
the basement apartment leads out a door into a small entry where you can either go left to the stairs up to the top floor, or straight, through two other doors out into the garage. The garage goes (or course) through another door out into a small sheltered enclosure between the two side stairs.
So much for the pre-story. I have the nervous habit of always closing and locking my door, so, as i had done years before and will ever do, I locked my door that night and crawled into bed. My friend was sleeping up against the wall by the time that I snuggled up with her back to back and closed my eyes, drifting into a deep and dreamless sleep.
I woke, at 3:43 exactly, staring straight ahead and into the glaring red numbers of my alarm clock, and was about to go back to sleep with an annoyed grunt when I noticed that the door was open to my room. I am a light sleeper, and if my friend would have gotten up and gone out the door, leaving it open, I would have woken up because she had to crawl over top of me to get out of the bed. I was about to nudge her awake when I heard someone moving around out in the main rooms and she woke up of her own volition. We lay there, completely scared out of our minds as shadows dances around on the wall that could be seen through the open door.
Then something started laughing. It sounded like the gleeful laughter of my five year old cousin, and there was the sound of something hitting the floor with a tha-thunk like a basketball. It was about that time that I decided that I wanted to get up and close the door. So I crept out of the bed, with Crystal clutching my back when our feet hit the carpet, and we tiptoed to the door together. we both tried that door, both pushing as hard as we could do quietly and neither one of us could get it to close. I will admit that I am not that strong, but I am strong enough to pin a full grown man in an elbow lock and break his arm if I need to, I am strong enough to close a door.But I couldn't.
Anyway. We got to the door, and the laughing moved away from us as we got closer to it, even though it was in the other room. Despite Crystal's protests, I got her to go with me out into the hallway, and with her hiding behind me, we met my cat, standing in the center of the hall, fur sticking straight up, with wide glowing eyes, for the first time in my life she hissed at me and then she turned and ran toward the door that lead out of the basement.
To make a long and terrifying trip short, we walked down the hall, through the kitchen and through the doors that were open when they had been closed and locked by myself before going to bed, outside into the cool March night. The whole way, following the laughing and ball bouncing and running sounds of a five year old boy. we saw plenty of shadows, but no person. We followed it up to a partial fence that is up near the south side of the yard, away from the house. The laughing faded away up there. We ran back into the house...
And didn't sleep for weeks after that, though the little boy didn't come back again until the last time I slept at their house.
As for fact? I talked to the neighbors and I got the land deed about two months later after another incident happened in the basement, and all the neighbors told me this story. The family that lived there before the ones that sold us the house, the original builders of the house, had moved out after one day when the father was outside, having set up a box of some sort against the fence, he began shooting at it for target practice. It wasn't until he moved the box to put it back into the shed that he found his son crumpled up in the bottom of it with his ball. All the neighbors that had lived there long enough to know about it said that the kid must have crawled into the box while his father was inside loading the gun. The little boy was shot right in the head. There are still bullet holes in the fence from the target practice sessions.
Along with this story I have a request. If anyone can think of a way to help out a little five year old ghost that was killed by his father, please tell me. I would like to get the little guy on his way, I feel sad for anything that would have to endure that silence of my parents house for long. Maybe I will tell you about the older man who I haven't been able to get a name for, or a story for that also resides in our basement. I am more concerned about him. He is a great deal more threatening it feels like.
