The Man in the Wall

The Man in the Wall

When I was 15 I lived with my sister who is 9 years older than me in (Name Removed) Indiana, she lived in a 2 story house that was at least 100 years old. When I first moved in with my sister she told me that she thought that something was strange about the house, things would come up missing then she would find it in an obvious place like on the dresser and that my niece that was 2 years old at the time, would talk to herself in bed and even answer questions like someone else was there.

When my sister would ask her who she was talking to, she would say the man in the wall. She would wake up crying saying that the man in the wall pulled her hair, she also would wake up with large bites on her arm that would cover one side of her arm to another, when we would ask my niece about it she would say that the man in the wall did it, this made my sister so upset that she would start yelling about how she was going to yank him out of the wall and beat his A-- .

It was not long after that my sister moved me and my niece into the other room so she could stay in there. About 3 days later my sister woke up screaming and she ran downstairs, this made me run screaming also. She was shaking so bad she could not light her cigarette. She told me that the room was very dark but there was a spot that was even darker, it was the outline of a tall man in the corner wearing what looked like a Sherlock homes hat and long coat. The more she looked at it, it was right next to the bed. She said she could see the fold of the coat that seamed to be velvet touching the sheets on the bed. She thought that someone broke in the house, she grabbed her pillow to her chest screaming, trying to find the chain to the light. When she turned on the light nothing was there. This was probably the man.

Other things happened also, like something hanging over us at night paralyzing us, we had to fight to get
out of bed. The room next to mine was so cold nobody could stand to be in there.

The most interesting thing that happened was that one day my sister and I were making lunch, and my niece was strumming my sisters guitar. It was so cute we decided to record it for her dad but when we played the
tape back there were other voices on the tape. They were low and dragged out like a slow tape but every thing else was at the right speed. It seemed to be a mother and child and also a man.

The mother was saying "look at the baby, hello baby" and the child was saying "Mommy make her stop I am scared" and the man was repeating every thing the child would say but in a sarcastic way. I have to say his voice was the scary one, now I don't mean the way his tone was because, this is going to sound strange but they all sounded low like a mans voice. It was the way he would say things like a grumpy old man that
hated the children. We took the tape and put it on top of the refrigerator, but it came up missing and soon after we moved to Florida.
