I'm hired on as a caretaker for an old house. It's located in my hometown, where Bella Fonte is, except this area is now a massive hill on which the house sits atop. A white marble staircase leads to the house from the bottom of the hill. The house is made of the same white marble, with red steel beams outlining it. The house is also extremely tall (it looked to be at least 20 stories!). Elizabeth is showing me around the first floor of the house. She explains that a house like this requires special care. The rooms of the first floor are all connected, like a ring, with a grand staircase in the middle like the spoke of a wheel. Each room is cluttered with boxes and furniture, which makes it difficult to walk through them.
Suddenly it is nighttime and I am alone. The house it pitch black except for a few faint glowing embers from some candles mounting the walls. The light is sparse, but it is just enough for me to make out the shapes of junk cluttering the rooms, allowing me to walk to the staircase in the foyer. I feel very uneasy and get the sense that someone is here with me. I think to myself that I saw a Ghost Adventures episode about this house, which makes me worry that it is haunted. All of a sudden, I get a text message on my phone from the security system that says: ❌Intruder Alert❌. Now I'm terrified! I decide to ditch my caretaker duties and run outside to my car to drive home.
I fling open the front door and am met with freezing, howling winds. Looking down the stairs, I estimate it's about a 100m trek down those smooth, slick stairs in these horrible conditions. Hmm...this doesn't seem like a good idea. Upon closer examination, a notice there is a woman twirling and dancing around my car. NOPE! I turn back into the house and slam the door shut. I'm relieved to find Elizabeth's husband, Thomas, emerge from the dark. He tells me that Elizabeth asked him to check on me and to advise me on how to care for the house. He begins to discuss how to check the quality of pipes in the house when I am once again bombarded with ❌Intruder Alert❌ texts from the security system. I also get a text from an unknown number that says: 👧🏻Hi👧🏻. Thomas pushes me into a room and tells me to run and hide. I stumble awkwardly in the dark and hear a thud! then a giggle in the room where Thomas was. I have no time to find a good hiding spot, so I just duck down next to a leather ottoman and a drying rack. I peek out and see someone approaching. I see a thin woman walk strangely into the room. She is swaying with each step, almost as if she is dancing. She is wearing a ratty dress made of cloth scraps, dingy tights, and dirty ballet slippers. She walks up to the ottoman, stops right in front of me, then jumps on top of it, peering down at me. I don't make eye contact, but I feel her lower herself closer to me and whisper in my ear, "You die first!" Then I woke up!
