I'm away for the Christmas period working for the family I Nanny for at the weekend. We are staying in a mansion/log cabin on the top of a mountain - very very secluded.

On the first night, I heard very light knocking in my room. Quite distinctive as knocking - like one of the kids wanted me. But the kids are on the opposite side of the house and there was no one around. This happened twice (early morning) but I was so tired I didn't think much of it.

The next morning it turned out that everyone in the House had heard the three light knocks at least once in the night.

I checked outside all the windows and there were recent animal prints (think Elk and Bear) and human foot prints circling the house. no one in our group had been outside at all and the prints didn't match anyone's shoes.

Second night, three light knocks again in the dead of night. Everyone heard them at different times.

Third night (last night) the knocks happened again and the four year old boy I look after starts talking about the "blood man" that only he can see being in the House Shock he keeps singing songs about the Blood Man.

AIBU in thinking that we're living some crazy horror film?

Er yes, I think you are

Make sure to put on clothes over your underwear and not wear high heels

Or wander round alone in the dark

Or call out someone's name tremulously from your bed

Don't say you'll be right back - ever. Look all around you when walking in to rooms and whatever else you do check under the bed. All the time.
YANBU. You're doomed.

Try reading something to take your mind off it. Avoid Stephen King of course.

I'm the only English one - that normally means I'm the first to die, right?

I'm trying to make sure everyone knows my full name. We all know the person with just a first name is the first to die

I agree with catgirl's approach. That is pretty terrifying!

Where are you? Canada?

You quibble about spelling the word murdered? When the OP is in grave danger? Hmm Wink

Seriously though. Human foot prints? Call the police or visit the station and ask them if there is any to be worried about! Contact the owners of the cabin.

Weird. I'd be on edge, for sure.

Nope, you'll be fine because you have contact with the outside world.

There will be a logical explanation.

I have no idea what it is, but it will be there.

Maybe a branch is knocking on a roof. And the cabin is on route of the local mountain reindeer herder who circles your cabin on route to grass each night.

There will be a simple reason I am sure. In the meantime I would be sleeping with the kids.
