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?

Too scared to click on link in case it means that who ever looks, dies too

OMG Why would you say that!!!!

[Dillydollydaydream]

Woah. I'd be crapping my pants.
I'm not good with spooky things.

Do not go for a stroll in the woods stating you'll 'be right back' because you most certainly won't

Is it part of the property management and does it have the concierge service? Perhaps one of the dcs has called them in error and they have turned up and are trying to find out who called them when you all appear to be in bed?

Or is it the same time each night and the heater melting the snow?

[GlitzAndGiggles]

Wish I didn't read this I'm now shit scared to pop out for a fag. But good luck!

[WilsonFrickett]

I wouldn't mind dying in that house. However, it has an observatory. Ace. (it has a freakin observatory!) gather up the children and set up a jolly camp night in the observatory. And, you know, observe...

I'd keep away from the hot tub OP. That's definitely going to be a blood bath. What's in the ski room? Nice pointy ski poles? Arm yourself!

[HECTheHeraldAngelsSing]

there doesnt need to be an explanation why you've so far only heard 3 at a time.

it just means the pipes have clanged 3 times. Why not 3 times? Why does there have to bd a reason?

maybe they clanged once a few times and you didnt hear. Perhaps they clanged 4 times but you missed the first one and only became aware of noise, tuning in to hear the remaining 3.

I promise you that a spirit from the great beyond is not knocking 3 times on the ceiling cos it wants you, although perhaps if you knock twice on the pipes it will know your answer is no

[KittensoftPuppydog]

Isnt Colorado where the overlook hotel was?

[Pimpf]

Ok where's the op gone?!!!!

[NorthernLebkuchen]

Those lights made out of horns etc look like good weapons. I'd arm yourself with a few.

[Crikeyblimey]

HEC :)

I'm singing now and ds thinks I've lost my mind :)

[KIrsty7318]

Do NOT, whatever. you do, use the hot tub. Especially at night on your own, with a drink in your hand, whilst reclining back with your eyes shut.

I have seen bad things happen too many times in this precise scenario.

[peachypips]

It's a woodpecker.

[wombat22]

Get in with the kids. They always survive

[LadyFlumpalot]

Oooh, maybe someone thinks it is Heidi from the hills house and is trying a bit of sleb stalking?

[InTheRedCorner]

Lovely house.

Could think of worse places to be murdered in.

Don't look out of the window after dark and if you hear someone riding a try circle down the corridor get your trainers on.

[NorthernLebkuchen]

Being nanny to the kids is not surefire route to survival as the nanny in The Omen found out...........

[topknob]

Have you checked out the observatory??? bet they are hiding in there :)

[youarewinning]

The knocking is in threes? Is Sheldon Cooper trying to get in?

Ok daft, but probably as daft as murder plot!

[steff13]

Ghosts? :)

[Quoteunquote]

Set up taught trip wires at waist hight with buckets of hot water balanced on nearby surfaces, if you any use fishing wire, if not dental floss, wet people scream, and move slowly.

[Rufustherednosedreindeer]

Redrum, redrum

[JanetAndRoy]

Knocking in threes?
My money's on a woodpecker with a short attention-span.

[desertmum]

singing here too! no nudity - the one who flashes her boobs is always killed first . . . And don't go in room 317 . . . or use the elevator . . . and if you see REDRUM in the mirror you are in deep doodoo
