I am 23 at the moment and this story took place some seven
years ago when I was 16.
My friend (M) use to live in this house in a very old suburb in my town. I went there a lot
and nothing ever seemed strange to me, though she did tell
me about some strange happenings in the house.
One evening my aunt and I went to visit. My aunt (who is very sensitive
to the other side) immediately said that something does not
seem right in the house and that she needed to leave.
This confirmed that my friend was more than right about the
strange happenings.
They had a safe in the bathroom closet, which seems to have
been there for years before they bought the house. This
safe would not open in any way, even a locksmith could not
get it to open. She and her mom then asked me to help with
removing the safe from the closet (this could only be done
by loosening the cement around it) in order for it to be
opened with some industrial tool. Strange enough after that
every time we wanted to open the closet "someone" pulled
from the inside to close it again. Needless to say we left
the safe in peace after that.
Later I convinced my aunt to accompany me to M's house
again and she agreed. M and I decided to visit the
basement. It has a separate entrance outside the house, we
took some candles and my aunt decided to bail out at the
entrance for the same reason as earlier. Well, we went in
and suddenly the door slammed close and a very cold wind
blew past us. Leaving us with no light as the candles blew
out. Within seconds we rushed to the door, which would not
open for what seemed like ages. The door eventually opened
and aunt stood there as white as a "ghost". She advised me
to never do that again, not that I would. I was scared half
to death.
A few weeks later me and M and a couple of other
girlfriends decided to have a slumber party. That's when
it started to get really weird. We were sitting in the
living room when the front door opened and we all rushed to
see who it was...there was no one and in front of my eyes
the door closed again with the movement of the handle and
all.
By now we were all a bit shaken, we decided to stick
together. Thus we all went to the kitchen and stuck some
chicken pieces in the oven for a snack. (It is important to
know that we were all in the kitchen and saw that the
chicken was in the oven.)After leaving the kitchen starting
a movie in the living room, we heard a loud bang in the
kitchen. We all rushed together to see what was going on,
the chicken was thrown all over the kitchen and the pan on
the floor. (this obviously made the noise)
We forgot about having a snack and went to finish the
movie. Halfway through the movie the room suddenly lit up
and to my amazement a fire had started in the fireplace.
Now it was summer and there wasn't even any wood near the
house, needless to say that there was any in the fireplace.
I was still trying to work out how this fire could have
gotten started when it died out just as suddenly as it
started.
We all, except for M, watched in disbelief.
Well by then I had enough and called my mom to come and
pick me up.
A few weeks after that M held a séance (without me, I was
not interested at all) in order to find out who is in the
house and what they wanted. First of all she asked the
normal sort of questions and then she asked how many they
are (her mom saw a few). They answered that there were 14
of them. She then asked why they are bound to the house.
They had a short and simple answer: “SAFE”. She asked if
we should leave the safe be, and again one simple and very
strong answer: “YES”. Her last question was: What would
happen if we do get the safe open…….the answer……..”HARM TO
YOURSELVES”.
After that, activity got even more intense, "someone” would
sit on her bed during the night. They would bump into
invisible people through out the house. A finger in the
back if walking to close to a wall would poke them. And of
course the closet would still be pulled close from the
inside by "someone”.
It got worse and they decided to move out……I would love to
know what was in that safe and if the current residents has
the same problems………guess I’ll never find out.
