Supernatural

Have you ever felt like there was something strange going on around you and there wasn't anyone else there? Well, last night after everyone else had gone to bed that's the feeling I got. It was extremely windy so a lot of the banging on the walls and just outside the door could probably be explained by that, and the elastic band that was swinging on the door handle in front of me was probably because the dryer was on in the laundry and blowing on it, making it swing around the door handle. All of that still didn't make me feel all that much better at the time, although after a short while I felt a bit easier.

I've heard some strange stories from my sister about Maree saying there was someone in the house, thinking she saw someone. Upon inspection by my dad, he has returned saying he found noone. I have also been in the house at times when I have heard screaming coming from her bedroom, and when I went to investigate, I was informed that everything was ok, that it was nothing to worry about.

So, here I was working on my computer, sitting at the breakfast bar in my dad's kitchen after having watched an episode of Star Trek: Voyager with dad. He had just gone to bed, which meant I was the only person still up. I heard a few creaks in the walls beside me. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then something in front of me caught my eye. It was the elastic band swinging around the door handle. That was followd by an extremely loud bang just outside the door along side me. I walked over and had a look at the elastic band. I pu my hand between it and the opening in the door to see if there was any air blowing through. I couldn't really feel too much, but there was a slight draught. The elastic didn't really stop swinging around while I was holding my hand in place, however. So I was slightly disturbed when another loud crash sounded just outside the door, followed by a lot of creaking and a few more bangs, almost sounding like someone knocking on the door.

At this point I turned the light off, hoping I wouldn't be confronted with a face at the door, which I wasn't... that is to say I didn't look long enough to see if I hadn't noticed one immediately. I then quickly turned on my heels and went to bed, shutting all the doors behind me. By this time it was 1:00am.
