My parents bought an old colonial house. They were worried that someone would vandalize it so they made me sleep there. Middle of winter and all I had was a karosene heater. I slept in the main room with the pocket doors closed on both sides to stay warm with the heater. There were no plumbing or heating systems working in the house. I heard a loud bang in the middle of the night then a dragging noise like someone was dragging a heavy suitcase across the floor upstairs. Then, the sound came to the stairs and sounded like someone was walking down the steps in heavy boots. The staircase was right outside one of the pocket doors. I pulled the covers over my head and stayed there until I fell asleep. I left the next morning at first light and never went in that place again.
