Something Is Definitely Goin on.

the tEMPLE Has forgotten.

So I'm positive something is going on in my house. I'm completely exhausted because I got almost no sleep last night. Here's what happened:

At about 3 in the morning, I woke up becuase I thought I heard the footsteps again in my living room. The floorboards were slowly creaking, like someone was sneaking around on some hardwood floors (which is obviously impossible, since these floors creak weird if you breath on them!). I sat up in bed and turned on the light, and listened carefully. I was thinking that maybe it was my imagination, since I'd been talking to Darren at work about the whole ghost thing.

I was wrong.

I was way to scared to get out of my bed, so I simply shouted "Hello?" like a coward friom the safety of my covers. The creaking stopped as soon as I did that. "Is someone out there?" I shouted after a couple of seconds of silence. Still, no answer. I waited a couple of minutes, adn then, feeling brave (and stupid) I shouted "Whoever you are, you better get out of here!" and started to lay back down. That's when I heard it. Someone, I don't know who, but someone loudly ran from the living room, down the hall, and into the bathroom, slamming the door loudly. Literally, it sounded like a pretty heavy persona, basically stomping their feet as they ran. I sat there in bed for awhile, my hands were shaking, and I was sweating like crazy. I was totally freaked out. Eventually, I figured I'd better look and see what was going on. I cracked the door, and of course, the hallway was empty. I turned on the light, and walked over to the bathroom door. I listened, and there was no noise coming from the bathroom. I opened the door, saw my bathroom, as it always has been, empty. I turned on the light, and shuffled things around, but there was no one there. The only exit from the bathroom was a tiny window that no one could fit through. Especially someone big enough to make those loud noises I heard. Plus the window was shut, and the blinds were closed. Who would think to reclose the blinds and window behind them?

So now I'm totally freaked out. I mean, it's not like whatever it is tried to hurt me or anything, but still, I couldn't sleep at all the rest of the night. I'm soooooo tired. But glad to be at work for once. :) I e-mailed Erik about the event, and he said I could crash at his place tonight, if it's really bothering me that much. I may just do that! He said he wants to stay at my place on friday night, either with me there, or not, so he can see for himself what's going on. When he was a kid, he was obsessed with ghost stories (he used to always watch Unsolved Mysteries, In Search of, and all those other paranormal shows) so he's actually excited to see one. He wouldn't be so excited if he'd been at my house last night though. Well, I hope you're all doing well. And I hope your houses are less haunted than mine. At least this new adventure is keeping me from thinking too much about Carrie.
