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?

Just move towards the light, GhostOfObjection. We're attempting to keep processing queues to a minimum at the moment but we're still clearing the backlog.

Is anyone else getting slightly worried..(doesnt help im watching the last harry potter)

TheGhostOfObjection · 01/01/2014 21:01

Move...towards...the...light?

curiousgeorgie · 01/01/2014 21:02

Ella - totally serious!

DurhamDurham · 01/01/2014 21:04

NO!!!!! Stay away from the light!! Going towards the light means you have died!! Haven't you seen Poltergeist??

SaintPeter · 01/01/2014 21:05

Well, unless you want the Other Place. They have more space, but their TripAdvisor reviews are distinctly dodgy.

Is there a local paper with news where op is.

Actually that could be quite funny. I can see the headline now

'Bunch of British mothers loose the plot on internet'.

Though they would probably go to the house as part of the story and discover the dead bodies.

I vote you to contact the rag and be quoted.

londonrach · 01/01/2014 21:35

Lol....no to see if anything mentioned in the paper re phone power cuts, local legend etc....

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 01/01/2014 22:06

IIRC the website said that there was a concierge service, so there will be someone to raise the alarm, at least.

DurhamDurham · 01/01/2014 22:15

Unless the Concierge is guilty!

Nessalina · 01/01/2014 22:17

I can't believe the OP's not back!! This would be the worst thread EVER for an OP disappearance!!! Shock

skyblue11 · 01/01/2014 22:22

What if it's a huge hoax?

shushmonster · 01/01/2014 22:25

Can somebody get on the phone to Cabot Cove we need Angela Lansbury urgently !!!

Tis truly a tale of murder she wrote.

Please come back op we are very worried. nosy

shushmonster · 01/01/2014 22:26

Sorry tis truly a tale of mudered she wrote!!!

rusmum · 01/01/2014 22:27

Any news?

AnAdventureInCakeAndWine · 01/01/2014 22:28

The concierge would still need to raise the alarm, or else come under suspicion. Unless the concierge is actually a ghost who's very good at cleaning, I suppose.

LilithSternin · 01/01/2014 22:28

Can't believe that OP still hasn't come back-what time would it be there? Hoping they've either had a power cut (with no sinister motive!!) or this was all a hoax...

CheckpointCharlie · 01/01/2014 22:35

Oh my god is the OP not back yet?!?!

ahem... Over here!

whatareyoueventalkingabout · 01/01/2014 22:38

I don't want to be mean and say I think it's a hoax, but surely if it was real then she would have come back on by now either with an explanation or more news?
