to think we're all going to be mudered?

[Objection]

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 he keeps singing songs about the Blood Man.

AIBU in thinking that we're living some crazy horror film?

So, the footprints that go around the house, where do they originate? If the trail leads from the house, someone's is shitting with you. If the trail leads into those woods. Leave. Leave now.

Fuck, it's gorgeous!

I'll come stay there and be the nanny.

Have the phone lines been cut gone down yet?

I'd be running sorry big faffing cowardly custard me

Tipple House in Crested Butte

Perfectly named to attract MNetters

if youre going to die, that's a gorgeous place to do it

I love how supportive everyone's being!!!!

Seriously though, you need to get outta there

I see nobody is booked in for next week. It will be weeks before anybody comes looking to discover what's happened...........

Oh my.

If you are English, you either solve the murder or cause the murder.

Which will it be, OP? OP? Are you there?

I sleep in... not a lot (just pants normally).

Handy for running screaming through the woods...

I have absolutely no phone signal - does that count?

And this is why MN is brilliant!

That is one hell of a house. I would have a glass or two of wine, enjoy the view and the bathrooms, and forget all this. Life is too short to worry when you have a house like that!!!!!

That's how it will have been planned. For the clean up.

Heidi from The Hills family live in Crested Butte.

Oh for heavens sake!

Start wearing pjs OP quick. What time is it in Colorado anyway?

Okay. Sleep in more. With shoes, trainers preferably, handy.

Should I be laughing or calling the police on your behalf?

Four-year-olds always say spooky things. He's having bad dreams because he's in a strange bed.

The footprints could be hunters. Which in the US is a scarier thing than the Blood Man. Wear orange when you go out.

The taps could be branches, ice melting.

I can say with certainty that it's no one in the House playing games

well then, last words?

Wow, if you can rule out ghosts I'll come and keep you company. What an amazing place.

Tis the 24 hour concierge. Don't worry...

Colorado is either 7 or 8 hours behind the UK. Not sure which.

Dh just said he can think of worse places to die!!

Apparently demons knock in threes as some sort of 'fuck you' to the Holy Trinity

I saw that in a horror film, so it must be true.

Not helping
