More than 30 years ago, TikToker Chris (@heartsmom1) and her husband were house-sitting for some friends of theirs. Their friends owned a beautiful Victorian home just outside of Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

Chris and her husband stayed at the house for a week until their friends returned, mainly to watch over their big standard poodle named Bryn. The poodle had a spinal injury, so she was unable to move her rear end.

At night, Bryn was kept in the kitchen, which had linoleum floors, in case she had an accident. The kitchen entrance, hallway, and sitting room were all penned in with baby gates.

One stormy night, they tucked Bryn in and headed to bed. During the middle of the night, the power went out amidst a bunch of crashing thunder and lightning.

Chris and her husband heard Bryn howling and crying downstairs, so they grabbed a flashlight and went downstairs to check on her.

When they reached the kitchen, they found Bryn nowhere in sight. They tried to figure out where her cries were coming from and finally traced the noise to the basement. The door to the basement had an old-fashioned sliding lock and was located in the little sitting room.

Both the basement door and the baby gate were locked. Chris’s husband unbolted the door and made his way down the basement steps as Chris shined the flashlight in his direction.

Bryn was at the bottom of the steps, staring up at them. Chris’s husband scooped her up and walked back upstairs.

They set the poodle on her dog bed, made sure the gates were secure, and shut the basement door tightly. Then, they slid the lock back into place and went back to bed.

The incident really freaked them out, as there was no logical way that Bryn could’ve made it to the basement by herself.

For one, there were several locks to get through. Plus, Bryn was unable to walk on her own. The home also had a security system that would alert them to any intruders.

About 10 to 20 minutes passed before they heard Bryn crying once more. Again, Chris and her husband went to investigate and found Bryn in the basement. They retrieved her and headed up to their room.

This time, sleep was definitely out of the question. Half an hour later, Bryn started howling frantically. She ended up in the basement for the third time that night.

Around 20 years later, Chris’s husband ran into their friends one day and asked them if their house was haunted. The friends told him there was no doubt it was haunted.

They would notice jewelry and articles of clothing that would go missing for months, but then they would arrive home with the items laid out on the bed.

And that was the last time Chris and her husband ever watched over a haunted house.
