I had to steady myself before I could go up to investigate. I was brave but sometimes it’s hard to walk toward the unknown. I slowly made my way up the stairs and when I reached the to I realized that the dog was still at the bottom of the stairs — he always beats me to the top of the stairs.

I stood there in the darkness listening for a while then I called out, “I’m moving out soon so this my be your last chance to show yourself.” But nothing happened, so I walked down the hall to my bedroom in the back of the house. Again, I was brave and kept all of the lights off. Although I sat on my bed for 20 minutes listening to the darkness, nothing else happened.
