I was staying with my friend Summer in a small hunting cabin for the weekend just for the fun of it. Since this is in a state park, she had already lived in the cabin for 4.5 months before getting a house. She had told me that she swore there was a ghost in the cabin. She claims she seen it multiple times and it had touched her at least three times. I was very skeptical person, and still am. But what happened to me later that night was unreal.
I was lying on the bed with my sleeping bag. Of course I was in my bag. I felt something brush up against my feet as Summer and I were talking across the beds. As I had felt it, she looked at my feet without me hinting to her that something was touching my feet.
"Is Guf Guf (the mouse we named) down there?"
"No. There's nothing there."
I jerked up and pulled my feet away. I grabbed a flashlight and looked all around looking for a mouse or some kind of bug that might have been near my feet. But NOTHING was there. We even looked under the mattress. My feet weren't close to a wall. They were near the edge of the bed and if there was a mouse, we would have seen it. But never did. Now Summer says that the ghost likes my feet.
The next night, I had my feet in the sleeping bag again, but Summer (her chicken self) slept with me in the same bed. (No, we're not gay or lesbian) Anyway, that night we stayed up talking. We heard a shuffling on the other side of the cabin. We both stopped talking to listen and we could hear what sounded like a conversation outside of the cabin. We both got up as quietly as we could and looked outside to find no one, except a deer running off.
Trembling, I tried to softly open the zipper to the tent (why is it, when trying to be quiet, all sounds seem to be AMPLIFIED?) and ended up making so much noise, that if there were two men outside the tent, they knew we were in there by then.
LONG story short, I had eavesdropped on two deer (a third was in the distance) calling out to one another. Not exactly the same sound as a human voice, but "vague" enough to have me thinking there were men trying to locate us.
I have a question for you. You state that you felt something at your feet, and your friend happened to look in that direction as you were feeling it, and with no prompting from you. Did you feel it as if it were RIGHT ON your feet? Or did it feel as if something was touching your feet on the OUTSIDE of the sleeping bag that you admit to being INSIDE?
This is why I ask. You stated that you looked under the mattress, all around the bed, you were not next to the wall...
IF I had felt something brush against my feet, I would have jerked them away IMMEDIATELY. I do not think I would have had "time" to think through the process of maybe it was a field mouse. IF I had been in a sleeping bag, at the time, there would have been A LOT of space at the foot of the bag, and my knees would have been in my chin.
Outside? Or Inside?
Thank you.
