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?

I know its terribly bad form, but can I please mark my place for the murder scene?

beeny · 01/01/2014 23:21

I agree its bad form,but must be done.

LuciusMalfoyisSmokingHot · 01/01/2014 23:22

Time to get the crime scene tape ready.

Pimpf · 01/01/2014 23:24

Ps) Mumsnet HQ PLEASE add this to Classics? Whether OP survives or not.

SpocksThirdEar · 02/01/2014 00:10

I swear I just bloody heard some three knocks in my house.
Oh shit.

Hopefully i'll be saved by the fact I'm not in a log cabin in snowy Colorado, I'm in wet Sussex in a bog standard house.

I think I'm going to bed now. It's safe under the duvet.

Utterly · 02/01/2014 01:04

Am I the only person to have seen the foot sticking out from under the bed in one of the photos? Maybe this has happened before Shock

ProfessionalProcrastinator · 02/01/2014 01:09

What happened to the OP's profile? Maybe she really is a ghost...

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 02/01/2014 02:49
