I didn&#8217;t think anything of it. I just assumed my mom hadn&#8217;t closed it all the way whenever she&#8217;d been up there. After a while, I made the mistake of joking with her when she commented about me not picking up after myself. I said something like, &#8220;Every night I have to close the attic door behind you. How about you shut it all the way when you&#8217;re done?&#8221; She informed me that she hadn&#8217;t been in the attic in months. I asked my brother&#8230; nope.I asked my dad&#8230; nope.So I started paying really close attention to it. I&#8217;d make sure it was closed in the morning, check it after school, check it after dinner. Then I&#8217;d head up to bed and&#8230; open. After a couple of months of wondering, studying, and experimenting, I decided to see what would happen if I just didn&#8217;t shut it.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I opened the door before school and checked it after school\u2014still open. Checked it after dinner\u2014still open. Before bed\u2014still open. Now I&#8217;m lying in bed, my mind going crazy with the open door across the room. I decide to check it out, so I roll over and focus on the dark opening into the attic&#8230; only to see a face staring back at me.<\/p>\n<p>I bolted downstairs, woke my parents, got ridiculed by my brother, switched bedrooms with him, and we moved into a new house about six months later (because our family was expanding).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My new physics teacher and his wife bought our old house. I could&#8217;ve forgotten all about that event and chalked it up to having an overactive imagination. But then, during my senior year, I discovered how awesome my physics teacher was. It became my favorite class, and he was by far my favorite teacher.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the end of senior year, a friend and I took our VHS camcorder around town, mostly filming silly things, but we also stopped by my old house to see what they&#8217;d done with the place. They gave us a really fun tour, and I got to tell stories about all the projects my dad had done that were still part of the house. Then my teacher&#8217;s wife led us upstairs to show us the sewing room.I asked jokingly, &#8220;Notice anything strange in this room?&#8221; Her face went blank.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On camera, she asked what I meant. I tried to shrug it off but ended up saying something about the attic door. She confirmed that every time she came upstairs to sew, the attic door was open. She then told us that, on the second day after moving into the house, their German Shepherd had gone into the room but refused to come back downstairs. He started barking and couldn&#8217;t be consoled, then jumped through the window, landed on the tin roof over the porch, and ran off. The dog didn&#8217;t come back until the next day and has never stepped foot into the upstairs hallway since.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AskReddit\/comments\/3q9x38\/comment\/cwddbv9\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\">nocatsonmelmac<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>15. &#8220;There was a small door in my bedroom that led to the attic (from ages 11 to 13), and it became a habit for me to shut it as I walked into my room a couple of times a week.
