When I was about 12 years old when this happened. It all started when my grandma took me shopping on my birthday, but I didn't find any thing I liked. I told my grandma that I wanted a pet, but I knew my mom wouldn't like it though. My grandma took me to a pet shop, after that I bought a rat, and named it Misty. I loved that rat it was the only pet I've ever had, besides a fish. Later on the next year she got really sick and very skinny. A couple weeks later she had passed away. Well the next night I heard noises inside my bedroom, but I didn't think much of it then. The following day I got another rat, and put it in the same cage Misty used to be in. That night I heard scratching on the walls like Misty used to do, I knew it couldn't be my rat Dottie, because I was holding her. I got scared! I heard the things moving in the cage like something was in there. I put my rat back in there and it stopped. That night my rat was squeaking like something was hurting her. In the morning my wall had all these scratch marks. I took out my rat and she was all scratched up tooo. This would happen every night until I finally got a new cage. To this day the scratches are still on my wall untouched.
