Day 2,634

Strange things kept happening in the new house and none of us could figure out why. Things would go missing all the time from a shirt to food to car keys to petrol in the car itself. We spend the longest time blaming each other and buying new carbon monoxide detectors - anything to find a reason for everything that had been going on since we moved in.

I think the final straw was when we were all watching a comedy special in the lounge, something we rarely did after several tense weeks of things vanishing and reappearing all over the place. It got towards the end of the show and we were a little tipsy, finally relaxed and generally not paying attention to the faint noises behind us.

As the sound of heavy footsteps and staggered breathing grew closer, we realised the last owners never left.
