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?

Never mind ghosts, knocking, serial killers, bloodmen.... there are real live bear prints outside. Bears Shock I'd be calling for a helicopter out of there.

You need to make your profile public OP.

This is the best thread I've read in a long, long time.

Some tips.
Don't have sex or you will be killed first.
Don't be horrible to the heroine or you will be killed first.
When you kill the baddie make sure he is properly dead ie. beat him until his brains fall out, DO NOT lightly tap him on the head and then turn your back on him as he lays on the floor seemingly dead.

Fuuuuck. Nooooo. Not bigfoooooot. Shut uuuuuup about bigfoot.
Bigfoot has given me the fear since I was little.

I can't believe you went and said.
She is a total gonner.

You know when you run away you are going to get lost don't you.

But don't worry you will freeze to death quicker than you would starve

This thread has really creeped me out, I'm desperately trying to find something funny on NetFlix to take my mind off it will be checking back later for the footprint photos though

LeepyTime · 30/12/2013 23:26

Do they look man-made or like animal prints?

Whereisegg · 30/12/2013 23:30

Alex I'm watching Cabin Fever on the horror channel.
It's not helping tbh.
Def go for something funny.

Love this thread!

Op what are you going to do when we all go off to bed and leave you to face the coming night alone?

Also can you get a close up of the prints right next to the house, the photos not clear enough and you can't enlarge it.

SpocksThirdEar · 30/12/2013 23:38

Don't ever take your shoes off. You can't run through the snow in barefeet.

Objection · 30/12/2013 23:39

most of the human prints had been scuffed out. There's a photo of what I could find coming up
