I'm away for the Christmas period working for the family I Nanny for at the weekend. We are staying in a mansion/log cabin on the top of a mountain - very very secluded.

On the first night, I heard very light knocking in my room. Quite distinctive as knocking - like one of the kids wanted me. But the kids are on the opposite side of the house and there was no one around. This happened twice (early morning) but I was so tired I didn't think much of it.

The next morning it turned out that everyone in the House had heard the three light knocks at least once in the night.

I checked outside all the windows and there were recent animal prints (think Elk and Bear) and human foot prints circling the house. no one in our group had been outside at all and the prints didn't match anyone's shoes.

Second night, three light knocks again in the dead of night. Everyone heard them at different times.

Third night (last night) the knocks happened again and the four year old boy I look after starts talking about the "blood man" that only he can see being in the House Shock he keeps singing songs about the Blood Man.

AIBU in thinking that we're living some crazy horror film?

Are you forecast any more snow that the murderer will use as a cover to kill the phone/power lines that could cause a power cut?

Remember that it's only 15:44 here. night hasn't fallen yet. I'm a wreck once it's dark.

freaked out by some of the prints I can see out the window though!!!

Just been talking to DH about this. We agree either:

a) OP has done lots of research and has spun us a good yarn

OR

b) OP you're fucked. Run like mad.

Do you have some track suit bottoms?
No one ever got murdered in those.

If you have to run from the house for any reason, remember not to flag down any passing cars...

coffeeinbed · 30/12/2013 22:49

I know!!!
have some toast with Marmite!
Mosquitoes hate it, so the blood man will to.
he might sniff, but will run away in disgust.

Or vitB, same thing. [scientific]

MissBetseyTrotwood · 30/12/2013 22:49

Unashamedly place marking.

night hasn't fallen yet

Fucking terrifying.

Come back in the morning and tell us what happened!!!!

MissBetseyTrotwood · 30/12/2013 22:50

Yes to the Marmite. He'll either see you as one of his own or run a mile. Try a pickled onion or two as well.

Sparkletshirt · 30/12/2013 22:51

Where's the kids op are they all dead in the garage?

Can't wait to see pictures.

BonaDrag · 30/12/2013 22:51

Shameless place marking

BasicFish · 30/12/2013 22:51

Argh op, be careful! While you're taking the photos, whatever you do, don't flick back through the photos on your phone to see the ones the ghostly murderer has taken of you while you were sleeping, that would be awful. Definitely don't do that.

Wear your period pants, and no make up.

If I worked for the local tourist board, I would be writing loving this thread. Serious advertising...

coffeeinbed · 30/12/2013 22:58

oh, and if you happen not to get murdered, make sure you have witnesses the family was alive when you left - you said you're leaving on the 2nd and they on the 3rd.
Otherwise they will get horribly murdered and you will get framed for it.

Sparkletshirt · 30/12/2013 23:01

It's been 15 minutes since she said she went to get pictures. D'you think she's been eaten?

eurochick · 30/12/2013 23:01

Mr euro tells me that Alien vs Preditor Requiem was set at Crested Butte. They're coming! Run away!

hope op is still ok. This is one time I'm hoping this is a wind up thread. Scary stuff, like a live horror movie :)

eurochick · 30/12/2013 23:11

WTF is above the fireplace in the living room photo on the website? It looks like some kind of skull....

softlysoftly · 30/12/2013 23:14

Phew had to charge my phone was worried I might have missed the grisly end something

I can't believe you all allowed op to wander off outside in skinny jeans to take photos of the prints though Shock what were you thinking
