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?

There's a basement? ARGH. That is where the EVIL will happen.

I'd be shitting myself.

MuttonCadet · 30/12/2013 20:40

Seriously, you've had footprints outside the cabin and haven't called the police?

RogueRebel · 30/12/2013 20:40

don't drink, don't get naked, never shout "hello" or a name. don't shower. if the dog goes missing do not look for it. and never never run up the stairs when you should be running out the front door.

Do ghosts leave footprints or do they hover above the snow?.

Iamsparklyknickers · 30/12/2013 20:41

The four year old is just fucking with you

DaddyPigsMistress Jason did (Friday 13th films).

Of course it could be a real live human - psycho of course - but human.

MacaYoniandCheese · 30/12/2013 20:42

The footprints could have been there prior to your arrival? A caretaker/property owner checking on things?

Dawndonnaagain · 30/12/2013 20:42

It's Sheldon Cooper, knocking in threes!

Jason wasn't a ghost! Sheesh, people, learn your horror!

Ghosts do not leave footprints.

Axe murderers, however...

NorthernLebkuchen · 30/12/2013 20:43

Do you think anybody has any guilty secrets OP? Like a secret affair they've concealed by murdering their lover for example?

SaltySeaBird · 30/12/2013 20:44

Who owns the cabin? I'd be sleeping in with the kids, definitely not alone!

Not nice at all. But you have internet so all will be well.

LadyFlumpalot · 30/12/2013 20:44

Family emergency that requires you to leave yesterday now? Text your mum and ask her to call you, leave the room to take the call, come in and tell them you have to go home, now?

beluga425 · 30/12/2013 20:44

Don't look in the mirror!!!!

HappTeeNewYear · 30/12/2013 20:44

Notice there's no snow in the pictures on the website.

That's because the murderer only operates in the winter.

I'm really not helping, am I?

NorthernLebkuchen · 30/12/2013 20:44

Mining heritage!

Zombie miner ghosts?

With axes?

StealthPolarBear · 30/12/2013 20:44

any of your party jokers?
Where do the footprints lead to?

Solongsucker · 30/12/2013 20:45

Ohhhh, it's a log cabin!!! I bet it's the wood . It creaks in accordance with temperature. I remember that from staying in a wooden house myself in the mountains
However the footprints ..... That's scary. IMO anyways

softlysoftly · 30/12/2013 20:45

A - a negligee (preferably white)

B - flannel cow print onsie?

This is important
