Hey everyone, my name is Josie. I'm from a small town in western Pennsylvania called Saltsburg. Over the summer I spent a lot of time at the house my friend Kyle rented. Before I started staying there Kyle warned me about strange things that happened there, and though I believed him I really didn't think much of it until I started noticing things as well.
The first time I paid attention was on a Tuesday in mid August. Both of Kyle's roommates left at 7am so Kyle and I were the only ones in the house. I woke up at about ten to noises downstairs. It sounded like things were being moved around. Then I heard footsteps come up the stairs and go back down. Kyle was still asleep beside me, so I went downstairs to see if anyone was there and there was nobody there. I let it go and didn't bother to tell kyle when he woke up.
That weekend I stayed there again and the same thing happened. I told Kyle and he told me the same thing had been happening to him. He talked to his landlord and discovered that her mother had died there years before as well as a man in his forties that had rented the house a couple years before Kyle moved in.
I continued to stay there on the weekends. I stayed there last weekend (September 23-25). We were staying down stairs in the living room because he was getting ready to move out. Friday night I woke up to noises in the kitchen. It had woken Kyle up as well but we just went back to bed. Saturday night Kyle went to get food and left me at the house alone. The front door was locked and it is hard to open. I heard the door knob moving like someone was trying to get in and it felt like someone was there with me but no one was there. I was starting to get freaked out. The weirdest thing happened that night, I was having really bad dreams about being raped. The next morning I woke up with two fairly large bite marks on my leg. You could clearly see the teeth marks.
Kyle moved out yesterday and I don't plan on ever returning to the house. However, now strange things are happening in my dorm room, such as things being moved or weird noises, even when my roommate isn't here. Anyone have any ideas about this?
Cold iron is a poetic and archaic term for iron, referring to the fact that it feels cold to the touch. In modern usage the term has been most associated with folkloric beliefs that iron could ward off ghosts, fairies, witches, and/or other malevolent supernatural creatures.
