Remember how I told you

 this property used to be a cemetery?

Well, I have another story for you all.

Before they had children, my mom and dad

used to go out of town on weekends,

mainly to visit relatives in Sierra Vista

(about an hour and some minutes away)

One of the times.. on a very cold winter's weekend

they asked my mom's brother to come stay

here, so the house wouldn't be vacant.

They'd noticed that a few things had been

moved around the last time they'd gone out.

I guess they figured someone was coming around

when they were gone.

My uncle came over, as planned,

the Friday my parents left.

It was around 4:30.. the beginning of dusk in the winter...

he said he walked in

and

looked in the fridge.

of course.

Then he heard it.

A thumping sound coming from outside.

He walked to the back door

and looked over to where my dad's tool shed is

and saw something very strange.

There was a something pushing on the 

door of the shed.

(which was always locked with a super thick chain and padlock)

he said it was about 

3 feet tall

covered in coarse looking 

dark fur.

It also had small sharp looking horns.

Now this man was 

a trouble maker

never afraid to start a fight

never afraid..

Well he slammed the back door,

grabbed his keys

and ran out of the house

didn't even lock the door.

My dad was pretty upset when they arrived

home on Sunday evening

to find the doors unlocked

the lights on

and the tool shed wide open.

to this day my uncle swears

there was a creature out there.

he never spent the night here again

either.

Now, who's up for a giveaway??
