Hello, this story takes place back when I was
just a baby. How do I know, you may ask? Well,
it's all according to what my brother's told
me. They are pretty honest and serious guys in
real life so I don't think they would lie about
this, but this is just what they told me.
When I was only a few months old, my older
brothers used to babysit me a lot. Also, they
are all older than me by far.
Since we are
Native American, we live on the reserve, far
from any town life. Also, the closest house to
ours at that time was a mile away. But
that isn't important now.
It was just like any other day I would guess.
It was during the day sometime when my oldest
brother and my youngest brother were both
babysitting me at my house. (They all had their
own houses back then, and still do.) Anyway, in
my house, when you walk through my front door,
you end up being right in the living room where
we have the couches, TVs, etc. They had me
laying on the couch wrapped in blankets. I
would guess they were probably watching TV or
something. Just then, the young brother (who
was 20 at the time) heard some knocking at
the front door. The older brother (who was
30 at the time) got up and went to answer
it. When he pulled the door open, no one was
there! So, he just sat back down and resumed
whatever he was doing. A few minutes later,
they heard the knocking again. The older
brother went to answer it again and the same
thing happened. Then, a few minutes later, it
happened a third time with the same outcome.
Then, my brothers had an idea. My other brother
(younger one) went and stood by the door and
waited. As expected, the knocking started. He
quickly pulled the door open and no one was to
be found. Just then, he heard footsteps in the
grass. He could tell that they were headed
toward the back door. He told my other brother
and they both took off out the door, leaving me
on the couch. They raced around the house to
the back. When they got there, they saw
nothing. Just then, they heard more footsteps
heading toward the front again! They both
looked at each other and remembered that I was
still in the house! They both shouted my name
aloud and went racing around the corner. They
came around the side of the house. Just then,
the younger brother looked ahead and saw
something very strange. He described it as a
little boot with a feather dangling from the
top. That was the only thing he saw before it
disappeared around the corner. Both of them
raced around to the front and saw nothing. They
quickly ran inside, hoping that I was alright.
When they got inside and into the living room,
they found me just laying on the couch, they way
I was when they left, the only thing was that I
was crying. That was all my brother told me.
I'm in the ninth grade now, and I still
haven't figured out what that little thing was.
The only thing is, I think it did something with
my eyes. I am now severely visually impaired
and I have been ever since I was a little baby.
I'm thinking that thing, whatever it was, must
have done something, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, that is just what my brothers both told
me, I do not know if it was true or not, but it
is still creepy.
Thank you!
