I started talking about a game that I bought, and we hopped topics to a dream my mom had in our old house. She dreamed that there was an extra room in the basement, and she had this dream often.
We don't often talk about our old house for lots of reasons. I saw an old lady in the corner of my eye every time I was in the basement. My sister's friend saw it too at my sister's party, and made one hell of a scream. Cold pockets all over the basement, even in summer and far from any vents. At night a shadowy figure descended from the ceiling and stood at the base of my bed staring at me, and this happened often enough that I refused to sleep without the light on in fear of waking up with the figure standing next to me. Once we moved out I went on without the lights without an issue. Lastly, my sister complained about her bed being shaken at night by a girl.
So when my mom brought up the dream it donned on me and my dad, there actually was enough room for another room. The bathroom was always small, and the bedroom next to it had a good 4 foot gap before it opened up. We mapped out the rooms on a piece of paper from what we remembered and there it was. If there could have been an extra room it would have been there. That is one scary coincidence for one hell of a scary house.
I'm half-skeptic/half-believer. I don't bother with stuff that can be easily explained. I understand how most things can be explained via hypnagogia, pareidolia, confirmation bias, etc. However, this isn't always sufficient enough for me.
For instance, when my kid hears whispers or feels fingers on his back, I don't think much of it. When other people who have no pre-existing knowledge of these things come over and also hear whispers, I begin to wonder. When two people simultaneously hear whispers next to the bed where my kid is sleeping, while he squirms and repeats "NO" as if refusing an offensive suggestion, and these whispers unmistakably continue as those two people enter the room and stand right next to the source, I get very concerned.
I'm pretty sure there's something going on around here right now that I can't explain. I've actually suspected for years that something nasty could be attached to my wife, but I've kept that completely to myself (didn't even reveal my suspicions to her) until very recently. There's been some escalation, and a few events that make me seriously wonder if it could be cause for worry. I might post more about it in the terrified thread later.
