Okay, so I don't know if this would count as a ghost story, but things like this happen all the time in the house that my mom, step dad, and i are staying in right now. This is the most recent one that happened.

8.30.07 - So my parents had left my boyfriend and i at home because they were going to my aunts house to do some work for her.

Since my boyfriend was getting one of my aunts kittens, we were getting things together and i had mentioned that we had a cage downstairs in our basement.

My boyfriend called his mom, and was talking to her about the kitten which made me remember the cage, so i asked him to go downstairs with me to get it. Now it's bad enough that our house is creepy, and that our basement happens to be the worst part, so i wasn't going to go downstairs and get the cage by myself. So we made our way downstairs, and our basement door was all the way open.

We have an old house, so the hall ways are narrow, so the door covered the whole hall way, and the basement is near the kitchen, which has no way out of it unless you close the basement door and go into the other rooms. I had to point that out, because no one could have gotten into or out of the kitchen without us hearing the door shut.

Anywho, we were downstairs, and my parents had been gone for awhile now, and i was looking for the cage. Now in my basement there is this small room with a door that we NEVER open, i don't know why, but we dont; anyway i pointed at it and started laughing, and then all of a sudden i hear loud stomping footsteps on our kitchen floor. I covered my ears after the 3rd on, but my boyfriend said there was four. I had ran to the steps and my cat looked around the corner, but i knew it wasn't her making the noise because the steps sounded like a big football players steps. Anywho, my boyfriend didn't say anything because he was still on the phone with his mom, but that was the 3rd worst thing that has scared me in this house that i have witnessed, and it's truee. i can't believe it myself that it happened, but i did.. and now im ready to movee!
