A New Years Eve tale....

This was just a little somethin' somethin' I wrote on another blog. From New Years Eve 2008.

My friend was babysitting a little girl at a house that was only a few short blocks from me. It was New Years Eve so my friend was all like, "oh yeah, you can come over. It'll be cool."

Well, I get to the house and I realized something about that house from when I was younger. When I was in elementary school, an Asian family had lived there. There were at least four or five members of the family. Well one day, in the news, one of the family members snapped, broke in through a front window and shot everyone in the house and then took his own life.

So, I'm walking up to this house and flashes of the yellow police tape and the broken windows are going through my mind. Once in the house things seem to be going okay. My friend had told me that the little girl hated sleeping in her room, so I was all, that's weird. So we tried putting her asleep in her mom's room. Well, the baby monitors were on, and while we were reading a story to the girl, a noise went through the baby monitor that sounded either like a loud cough or someone clearing their throat. O_O My friend and I looked at each other and went on reading the story. Well, a few short moments later, it happened AGAIN. So me trying to be brave, I went down to the girls room, which was pitch black and then clicked on the light. Nothing.

I can't shake the noise from my mind, even over a year later. Hopefully the first and last time I will be in a house where a family was murdered. No wonder the little girl doesn't like sleeping in her room, since little kids are more aware of the "paranormal" if that's how you want to put it.

This moment still scares me and it's added to my handful of "weird" experiences, for sure.
