The Unwelcome Visitor: Ask A Question

It's been a little while since I have felt the need to post anything on my blog, mainly due to not much really happening here. Although last night was the first major thing to happen here in a long time, and what a night it was.

So let's start from the beginning, Thursday afternoons my girlfriend works and I stay at home with the dog, I normally end up cooking and watching T.V with the dog, pretty uneventful really, but how I like my life to be. So fast forward to about 9:15pm, I'm sat in the front room, watching some T.V. Max is bringing me his tennis ball, and I am throwing it into the hallway, nothing new with that. Well midway through throwing it, he turns into the room and just looks up behind the sofa, so I instruct him to get his ball. Off he walks into the hallway and brings back his ball, but all the time his eyes are looking into nothing ? I say to Max "Nothing is there buddy it's just me and you", well at this point he sits looking up about 6ft to my left. I throw the ball and he just sits looking up into fresh air. So I call his name "Max - Go and get your ball", my voice was a little sterner than it usually is, and off he goes to collect his ball from the hallway, but with no hurry about him.

Once again he returns to the front room, drops his ball on the sofa to my left, and looks into nothing. Sadly like a bad film the room felt a little colder, so I start to take random photos of the room with my phone. I also kick Max's ball into the hallway and instruct him to get it, but he actually sits looking at me but also rolling his eyes to my left.

It's at this point I speak out and say "There is nothing there you silly dog", Max looks at me, so with a step up in volume I say "Look I'm sick and tired of this, if there is anything there do something". Well with that the lights in the front room started to flicker and I could hear the switch on the wall buzz a little.So being the calm type I walk over to the switch and flick it off and on again, yet it carry's on. So I then switch it off and step into my dinning room, and turn on the lights in there, well they do the exact same thing. Max at this point is pushing his head against my legs, and if I am honest my heart rate started to change. I then hot footed it into the bedroom to grab my torch and with 100% honesty as I put my hand on my torch all of the lights go out.

Now it's 100% pitch black I can hardly see the hand in front of my face, yet it feels like something is rushing up to me and about to hit me, which I suspect is down to the sensation of moving quickly and the lights going out. So I flick on my led touch and make my way to the front room. Upon entering it the room is ultra cold, and I can hear my own heart. I think to myself to remain rational and knowing how quickly the house goes cold when the heating goes off, I except this as normal, although I feel it's not.

I then become aware that the fire alarm system in the hallway is buzzing away as part of it's alert system, so I go out into the main hallway/entrance, open the control panel, and just before I type the last digit into the code panel the electric and lights come back on.

Needless to say for the first time in my life I slept with my torch within reach.
