The Locked Door in the Basement

Warning: This story is absolutely real and it still haunts me to this day. I was house sitting

for my neighbor when I found a locked door in the basement. Inside was a chair facing the wall

and scratches everywhere. Then I noticed something that made my blood run cold. Fresh scratches.

Someone had been locked in there recently. I ran upstairs and that's when I heard

footsteps coming from the basement. I never went back to that house. Police found nothing

but the door was unlocked when they arrived.
