Below is the 4th story in my Haunted Storybook House series. If you missed the previous ones, be sure to go back and read them, and see a picture of the house. As you will see, the stories only get more "chilling."
Call Me, Maybe
So there I was, as usual, enjoying some quality alone time at home while everyone else was away. Just me, the couch, and the TV. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I hear this mysterious voice go, "Hello? ...Hellllooooo..." from the dining room. Like, excuse me, who invited you to this solo party? Intrigued and slightly freaked out, I followed the voice through the hallway and into the dining room at the back of our house, to bravely confront the unseen guest. (Brawn before brains when it comes to this stuff, y'all!)
Relics of the Past
Lo and behold, there was no one there. Only the wall-mounted phone (from my previous blog), with it's speaker phone light ominously glowing, and the voice persistently demanding attention with its "Helllooooooo....???" So, naturally, I did what any self-respecting individual would do – I mustered up all my courage and bravely replied, "Hello...?"
'Fall'ing into a Trap
"Amanda, is that you?" the voice asked. And that's when it hit me...this sounds like my friend.
"Yes. Autumn?" I replied.
"What do you need?" she asked.
"I don't know what you mean, I'm just sitting here watching TV," I replied.
"Well...then why did you call me?" she retorted.
"I didn't," I responded, very confused.
"Yes you did." she said very sternly, "my phone rang, my whole family heard it and saw me answer." Needless to say, that conversation went nowhere, and we both ended the call extremely confused.
Motherly Advice
When I mentioned it to my Mom, she was all like, "Oh, it's definitely those pesky squirrels!" Apparently, according to her, those fluffy-tailed rascals sneak into the walls and play with the wires. Fast forward to years later, and it became this hilarious inside joke with my high school homies. Now whenever things go haywire, we just blame it on the squirrels! But seriously, how on earth did those little critters manage to get Autumn's digits???
Let's Chat
So what do you think - was it the squirrels? Or did I just get my wires crossed in the relics of time?
