After he took about ten steps in the darkness of his hallway, though, he started to feel a bit uneasy. And then, he heard something sprinting up behind him.
“As I rounded the corner to my room, I heard ‘thud…thud… thud… THUD THUD THUD!’ right behind me. It was getting faster and louder, and I could feel the floor vibrating with each step,” he recalled.
In fact, he claims that some “thing” was so close to him that he could actually feel it. So, at that moment, he pivoted around as fast as he could to turn and face it.
But to his surprise, there was literally nothing there. By that point, the hair on the back of his neck was standing straight up, and his heart was racing. However, the pounding had stopped, and he was left totally dumbfounded.
“The footsteps were so heavy and human-like that my immediate thought was that my girlfriend was pranking me,” he revealed.
Nonetheless, his girlfriend was still in his bedroom. Plus, his dogs were asleep in his mother’s room with the door shut. And if it really were one of his cats, he believes they would have made a noise while fleeing down the long hallway. Besides, how could a ten to fifteen-pound cat pound the floor that loudly?
Anyway, since there was no sign of his family, girlfriend, or pets, his stomach dropped, and he could not stand to stay alone downstairs any longer. So, he quickly shuffled into his room and tried to rid himself of the wave of fear that had crashed onto him like a tsunami. Then, he decided to share his bizarre experience with his girlfriend.
Shockingly, though, his girlfriend never actually believed that he was telling the truth. And to be honest, no one else in his family did either.
“Everyone just chalks it up to the animals. But I don’t know. It did not make any sense,” he vented.
Obviously, this spooky experience stuck with him into adulthood for a reason. Do you think he might have encountered a spirit, or is this another case of the human mind playing tricks on us? Have you ever had a similar scare at home? If so, what did you do?
