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?

Is this likely to draw to a conclusion tonight or are you coming back tomorrow night like a BBC mini drama? I need to go to bed but would hate to miss the thrilling/blood curdling/twist at the end conclusion.

Who would you like to play you if Hollywood makes a film? Keira? Kate? Sienna?

If it makes you feel better OP I live right next to a railway station so my friend kindly mentions that my flat is probably "knees deep with ghosts". I do often hear creeks in the hallway...

LizzieVereker · 30/12/2013 21:38

Have you seen a giant dog who loves snacks and his hippy owner? And some meddlin' kids? They might be able to help.

londonrach · 30/12/2013 21:38

GlitzAndGiggles · 30/12/2013 21:39

Does the four year old look like this?

Objection · 30/12/2013 21:41

I'm a brunette, robinsparkles, most likely to be described as "curvy" I guess

Think yourself into the role of 'extremely fit/hot nanny who saves everyone except the shit people girl power killer ninja extraordinaire' Grin or, watch 'tucker and dale vs evil' and see it from the misunderstood psycho in remote places point of view!! keep us posted, whatever happens, you'll probs be safe until new years eve anyway......

londonrach · 30/12/2013 21:44

Do you have access to some enid blyton books.... If so read them as their positive happy stories will make any ghost, murderer disappear....

Valdeeves · 30/12/2013 21:46

Heard that three knocking things loads - it's classic demon infestation - have you seen The Conjuring? Best to not play with any creepy old toys or look in the mirror too long

LadyFlumpalot · 30/12/2013 21:46

Don't read MamaMumras link. Especially don't read the part about footprints...

musicboxwoundbyakey · 30/12/2013 21:47

LOL promotion for upcoming book?

Is there a ghost in your office too?

LEMoncehadacatcalledSANTA · 30/12/2013 21:48

Marks place - the babysitter is always the first to cop for it - make sure you put stuff under your bed so he/it can't hide underthere with a huge bowie knife

iggymama · 30/12/2013 21:48

tip,

CheeseStrawWars · 30/12/2013 21:49

MamaMumra's link relates to a house in Rockford, Illinois... a fair hike from Crested Butte, Colorado. Chin up, OP.

pixwix · 30/12/2013 21:50

Erm yeah... If you pass the basement, and you start to hear scary music playing and getting louder as you approach it - give it a miss, aye?

And sleep with your clothes on? just saying like...

You'll be fine! (she says cheerily)

DaddyPigsMistress · 30/12/2013 21:52

Can you leave a note asking whoever finds your body to update this thread?

Fucking hate it when people dont come back and update. Death is not a valid excuse to leave us all hanging

iggymama · 30/12/2013 21:52

Sorry, bastard tablet.

My tip, do not turn your back on the kids.

I watched a film recently where several families stayed together in the woods and the adults met some pretty gruesome ends. Twas the evil fecking kids....
