Episode 40 – The Attic and Other Listeners’ Stories Part 1

‘It all really kicked off a month into living there. Three of the girls had gone home for the weekend … and three of us stayed. On the Saturday night, we were all at home in the lounge. The lounge certainly wasn’t an easy place to be: dark, musty, oppressive – even my dad felt a presence there when we first moved in, and not wanting to frighten me … he didn’t tell me. So, there we were relaxing, thinking about what we could watch, setting ourselves up for a Saturday night in when … suddenly, we heard loud running footsteps above us to the point where the ceiling was actually bouncing. We screamed, and all assumed a burglar had broken in as the front door was unlocked. The noises intensified and we got more and more panicked and terrified – but after trying to call our boyfriends to come round and getting no answer – we decided to investigate ourselves. Slowly, we started walking up the stairs to find out what was going on – I remember shaking – and when we were halfway up a loud bang at the top of the stairs sounded … and then a clattering of running footsteps towards us down the stairs … but we couldn’t see anything.’
