Scary Baby-sitting Tales

I was about eleven when I started babysitting for a family friend. Before I began my dad would joke around with me about the house being haunted. I thought he was joking until one day...... It was a Sunday afternoon and the one-year-old bay had just woken up from his nap. As we were both relaxing he turned his head extremely fast and said. "I can hear you!" I was so scared but I couldn't do anything about it.

Then one day I was over there and I had just laid him down for a nap. As I was walking down the hall I felt so cold. I still kept going as my heart was pacing. All of the sudden something ran passed me. I couldn't see it because it was just a quick glimpse.

One night I had to baby-sit because the parents went out for a date night so I was stuck in the empty house with a big hairy dog and a little baby. He was sleeping and I was watching T.V. and over the babymonitor I could hear one of his baby toys turn on. I heard the toy say,"Peekaboo I see you!" I got chills all in my body. "You have to put you hands over the toy's eyes in order for it to make noise. Then I heard crying and I knew it wasn't the baby. Then I quickly called my parent's and had my mom come over and baby-sit with me.

I never told the family about it. I guess I should have because to this day I'm still babysitting for the same family and scary things are still continuing to happen.

As I was writing this story I had goosebumps. Hope you have the same feeling. But don't get too scared.
