The Pounding on the Floor
My family lived in a little one story house in Sherborn Mass. It had no
attic but it did have a dirt basement. One of my sisters and I were in the kitchen one
night when we heard and felt this pounding on the floor, like someone was in the
cellar underneath us. The only way to get in the cellar was from two bullkeds on either
end of the house. When we told our parents about it when they got home my Dad went down
there to see if anyone was down there. He found nothing of course and said we were hearing
things. But it didn't stop there. The noise got louder as the days passed and even
when he would run outside and go down in the cellar he would fine nothing to cause this
noise. Even when he left the bullkeds open the noise would start as if someone was trying
to get out . You could even stand on the spot where the pounding felt like it would come
through the floor. This was a very old farm house that even after being married I would
hear a baby crying when there was no one there but me.
