The Unwelcome Visitor: The Stairway

It was before 9pm last night when Max my dog was playing up a little, and by playing up a little I mean he was unsettled and restless, there was no reason for this, he just was ?

Well as the evening went on I became more aware that he was sat looking into the corner of the front room. I kept braking his concentration by throwing his ball into the hall way. But after one throw he never returned to the room, yet oddly for the first time ever he was sniffing at the front door that opens into the hallway. Well I went out into the hallway to see what he was doing, and asked him to return to the front room, but he wasn't having it. So I opened the door to the main front hallway, and he stood sniffing, and then he barked a little, followed by a little growl. I reassured him that nothing was there by walking out into the hallway, and although the hallway is poorly lit I walked to the bottom of the stairway and started to walk up. Max unusually didn't follow me, he decided to stay by the door, at this point I called to him and said "Come on old boy, there's nowt here".

But as I turned to look up the stairs, I saw something in the light. Now this is really hard to describe, and it wasn't like anything you see in a horror film, it was like a shimmer in the like. It was almost like something blurred my vision, really odd, but it seemed to have some kind of form, and moved across the top of the stairs and down towards me.

Well although it sounds really odd I rubbed my eyes, and took out my phone and started to take some photos. Now again I have explained in an earlier post that my phone is an old Nokia E63, and not the best thing, but I had to take or try to take what I was seeing. Looking back on it I did actually feel colder, but didn't put it down to anything other than leaving a warm seat I was sat in.

I will post the 3 photos up unedited, as they were taken off of my phone. Then below them I will post one that I tried to edit in photo shop (not my best skill)

All I have done on these pictures is outline just a slight difference in light within the photo, and I don't know, I'm sat here looking at these thinking maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. But that doesn't explain the dogs unusual behavior, or the fact that 1. I felt really cold and 2. I saw something in the dark with my own eyes.
