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?

Solo · 02/01/2014 18:10

No, you aren't. They don't show up immediately Grin caught me too at first!

MammaTJ · 02/01/2014 19:00

Do make sure to ask the 4 year old if the blood man is still with you when you get back.

Pixel · 02/01/2014 19:09

Oh good some more posts. Last time I looked there were 666 Shock.

Most Haunted definitely need to visit Crested Butte.

Glad you survived OP, lets hope the blood man stays put!

thegreylady · 02/01/2014 22:02

Just joining in because there has to be a grey lady on this thread. Oh, and where is Zombie?

AsBrightAsAJewel · 02/01/2014 22:13

I've just google mapped the area and if you drag the person on for street view it turns into a skier Smile. Looks amazing there.

Buzzardbird · 02/01/2014 22:21

greylady you were responsible for haunting half the places I ever went to as a teenager!

Iamsparklyknickers · 02/01/2014 22:36

Aw - flickr link didn't work for me - got a 404 message Sad

4 year old is freaky - keep on his good side!

MinkBernardLundy · 02/01/2014 23:26

Have you asked the 4 yr old to point to the blood man?

KeatsiePie · 03/01/2014 00:47

Oof that sounds like a horrible night. Glad you're okay OP. Hope you left a note for the next renters.

fanjofarrow · 03/01/2014 02:57

MrsBonkers · 03/01/2014 03:06

Did noone else notice what curiousgeorgie said

"And spookily enough, my whole family are skiing right now and one of them text this morning to say they've got some kind of ghost who knocks on the bedroom doors 3 times at night." Shock

Are they skiing at Crested Butte?

MammaTJ · 03/01/2014 12:00

When will you see them next? Make sure you ask the 4 year old if the Blood man is still with you.

curiousgeorgie · 03/01/2014 12:04

They're not! They're in France. Perhaps in a generic ski ghost!

LuciusMalfoyisSmokingHot · 03/01/2014 12:16

Curious, is the 4 teens and a talking dog about, sure i've seen that scooby episode before.

ElaClaw · 03/01/2014 12:31

Very spooky!

Objection · 03/01/2014 12:39

Argh! I didn't see that! Glad I'm away from the cabin before spotting it!

Dillydollydaydream · 03/01/2014 16:38

Have you witnesses that the family were alive when you left them? Grin

Objection · 12/01/2014 19:41

well, I've just done my first weekend back with the family in London.

Everyone is alive!

The 4 year old has completely forgotten the blood man. He has no idea what I'm talking about when I asked him.

The logical conclusion? he was the culprit! possessed perhaps?

(Thank you to all for your support, it helped a lot to be able to laugh through it)

I think it was wee bugs in the woodwork. :)

Objection · 13/01/2014 08:55

wee bugs, deer rubbing their antlers, the blood man, a possessed toddler.

All are reasonable possibilities
