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?

Jesus, you are next. Wait for my knocks tonight.

The animal footprints were fake. I had to do something with my time in between scaring the child who sings about me and doing my knocking. I wanted to create an air of mystery to confuse my blood woman.

Is no one else thinking 'Old Indian Burial Ground'???? I'm guessing the ancient spirits will be angriest with the owners for building on their 'Old Indian Burial Ground'. OP will be plucky female protagonist who risks life and limb to rescue the children and at the last moment some old codger from the town will remember it is an 'Old Indian Burial Ground' and will pop in to check they are ok. OP will emerge exhausted from the woods with the children while the house is swallowed up by the ground. I could be wrong though.......

The nanny generally gets it first doesn't she? Defending the children of course.

Come on OP, let us know you're ok! You've got the world's most anxious people (mums) on tenterhooks here.

MummyPig24 · 01/01/2014 19:57

Just read the whole thing and need to know what happened last night!

coffeeinbed · 01/01/2014 20:03

Hmmm..
She's either dead, or the family saw the clicks on their holiday home website and looked up the referring website and came across this thread.
So she's in trouble.

If the OP never comes back...when do we call the police...?

coffeeinbed · 01/01/2014 20:21

No, we would not want to put the nice young police officer and his about to retire partner in danger.

ElaClaw · 01/01/2014 20:24

curiousgeorgie - are you being serious!?

desertmum · 01/01/2014 20:25

maybe she called the police - and the young handsome police officer came and rescued her . . . and they are in the hot tub

You making the call then?

"Police please!"

"Yes this is an international call."

"No I don't know her personally. Her name you say? Haven't a clue. She just calls herself 'Objection'"

"Where did I hear this from? Erm, some internet site in the UK full of scared women who are concerned about the welfare of one of their own."

"And what gives me reason to believe that a murder has been committed? Well, its a house in the woods, and there were some footprints and some bangs and the woman said that one of the kids was talking about 'a bloody man'."

"What do you mean, "Is that all I've got?. This is serious! There are mad hitchhikers and ghosts in the area. She's obviously in danger. Don't laugh!"

"Hello? Hello? You still there???"

TheGhostOfObjection · 01/01/2014 20:52

Huh? What...? Where am I? why is everything so bright?

londonrach · 01/01/2014 20:55

Is there a local paper with news where op is.

DurhamDurham · 01/01/2014 20:57

Now come on everyone calm down.
Calm right down.
There is obviously a very reasonable explanation for Objections silence.

She is dead.
