[00:17.36]Figure On The Proch
[00:26.40]门廊鬼影
[00:36.51]Back in the early 1980s my aunt lived in a house
[00:41.27]that was literally 1 located in the middle of nowhere.
[00:46.05]It used to really creep my younger brother and me out,
[00:50.28]but we loved to go there
[00:52.12]because my aunt had four children.
[00:55.52]The house was very old, and it had all wooden floors.
[01:00.39]There was always an uneasy feeling
[01:03.06]when you were inside.
[01:05.57]For the most part not much happened
[01:08.26]that was out of the ordinary when we were there.
[01:12.49]There were a lot of noises during the night, though.
[01:16.35]On several occasions I heard floorboards creaking,
[01:21.09]as if someone were walking around.
[01:24.37]Most of this seemed to be coming from upstairs,
[01:27.80]and sometimes in the hallway downstairs
[01:30.52]that connects the front of the house to the back rooms.
[01:35.10]Sometimes I also heard a thumping 2 sound
[01:38.13]from upstairs at night.
[01:40.59]The thing is, no one stayed upstairs ever.
[01:44.73]There was just a spare room,
[01:47.31]a bathroom and some small storage spaces up there.
[01:52.85]My aunt's room was downstairs,
[01:56.12]and we all stayed in a room down the hall from hers.
[01:59.86]I told myself that the sounds were caused by the wind,
[02:04.76]or the fact that the house was so old,
[02:08.25]and really never thought twice about it.
[02:11.52]I refused to ever go upstairs though.
[02:14.46]The thought that the place could be haunted
[02:17.27]never really crossed my mind.
[02:19.78]I just thought it was a creepy old house.
[02:23.28]That is, until one night in particular.
[02:28.56]Bedtime had come a long time ago,
[02:31.51]but us being kids we stayed awake
[02:35.27]and goofed 3 around for a while.
[02:38.19]Eventually we all fell asleep.
[02:41.59]This night I seemed to have a lot of trouble
[02:44.60]staying asleep though.
[02:46.76]I kept waking up periodically for no apparent reason.
[02:52.49]On about the fourth time waking up,
[02:55.46]I thought I felt a poke 4 on the heel of my foot,
[02:58.93]which is what woke me.
[03:01.13]I rolled over and looked around the room,
[03:04.16]but nothing was out of the ordinary.
