Subject: Unexplained Noises
Content: This happened to me right around before I graduated from grade school.  I decided to walk upstairs one night to ask my sister something. Since our parents were out the house was still and most of the lights were off. Her upstairs bedroom was at the end of a short hallway leading from the living room - it was about 9:00 PM. I remember ascending the steps in the dim yellow light from our stained glass light fixture hanging overhead and the distant ticking of a clock. As I rounded the top of the stairs and started down the dark hallway toward my sisters room something very hostile made its presence known to me. From somewhere that I could not see came a threatning jolt of a noise that sent me running back to my room at top speed without looking back. I will never forget the sound.. if I had to attribute it to anything it sounded vaguely like a cornered animal but considering we had no pets I can't explain it. It was a fleshy rattling hissing gurgley grunting sound that made my heart burst out of my chest and my limbs rubbery from the adrenaline - probably the scariest waking moment of my life!
