"Something GRABBED MY LEG When I Ran Up The Stairs" by Jdub81191 | CLANCYPASTA

[00:00:00] I Can't Be The Only One Ever Since I Was A Kid I Would Run Up The Basement Stairs Because I Was Scared Someone Was Gonna Grab My Leg

[00:00:10] I Would Be In A Full On Sprint All While Trying To Hit The Light Switch On The Way Up

[00:00:14] There Was Always This Constant Feeling That Something Lurped Behind Me As I Was Coming Back Upstairs

[00:00:23] In My Childhood Home The Game Room Was In The Basement You Know What Kind Of Basement I'm Talking About

[00:00:29] TV Down There, Xbox, Board Games, Computer, Pool Table

[00:00:34] Maybe It Was Me Being A Dumb Kid But I Continued To Do It For Years

[00:00:39] It Became A Habit For Me

[00:00:41] Go Downstairs, Hang Out, Play Games, Watch TV

[00:00:44] The End Of The Night Would Come And My Olympic Training Would Start

[00:00:49] Turn The TV Off, Swipe For The Lights As I Sprinted Up The Stairs And Then Shut The Door

[00:00:56] Obviously Nothing Ever Grabbed Me

[00:00:58] It Was Just That Fear Of What Was Lurking In The Dark Behind Me That Gave Me Goosebumps

[00:01:04] I Would Love To Tell You As I Got Older I Stopped Doing It But I Didn't

[00:01:09] I Was A Chicken And I'm Not Afraid To Admit It

[00:01:12] I Slept With A Night Light Until I Was Thirteen

[00:01:14] I Never Left A Closet Door Open When I Went To Sleep

[00:01:18] And Even As An Adult

[00:01:19] I Always Check The Back Seat Of My Car

[00:01:23] My Parents Are Retiring To Florida

[00:01:28] And Instead Of Selling The House Right Away

[00:01:30] They Decided To Ask Me If I Had Any Interest In Moving Back In

[00:01:34] The House Is Paid Off So I Would Just Have To Cover Utilities

[00:01:38] I Got A Pretty Good Job Right Out Of College

[00:01:41] And Can Afford It So I Figured I Would Keep The Memories Alive And Move In

[00:01:45] The Only Downside To Moving In Is That I Would Be Living Alone

[00:01:50] I Did Have Family Close By Which Was A Plus But Living By Myself Would Be So Strange

[00:01:56] I Lived With My Parents Until College

[00:01:58] And During My College Years I Always Had A Roommate Whether I Lived In A Dorm Or An Off-Campus

[00:02:04] Apartment The Night Before My Parents Were Moving Out We Had A Little Going Away Party

[00:02:10] For Them A Ton Of Food And Lots Of Drinks Were Had My Older Sister Lived A Few Blocks Away So The

[00:02:16] Entire Family Was There It Was A Fun Yet Emotional Night I Know My Parents Weren't Leaving

[00:02:22] Forever And I Would Still See Them But It Still Felt Like A Little Piece Of Me Was Being

[00:02:27] Taken On Their Retirement Adventures

[00:02:31] During The Get Together I Pulled My Mom To The Side And Asked If There Was Anything I Should Be Concerned About When

[00:02:36] Taking On The House Any Leaks, Damage Problems Or Creepy Spirits I Should Be Worried About

[00:02:43] I May Have Presented That Last Part As A Joke But Like I Said I Was A Chicken

[00:02:48] And Was Just Slightly Concerned About How I Would Handle Living Alone

[00:02:53] My Mom Assured Me That There Were No Problems With The House And That Once I Got Used To Normal House Maintenance

[00:03:00] It Would Be Smooth Sailing

[00:03:02] Jason, You Have To Keep The House Clean

[00:03:04] You No Longer Have The Luxury Of An Unpaid Maid

[00:03:07] We Just Remodeled The Kitchen Not Too Long Ago So All The Appliances Are New

[00:03:11] My Biggest Worry With You Is Your Laundry

[00:03:15] Really Ma, My Laundry?

[00:03:17] Yes Jason

[00:03:18] You Would Always Let All Your Dirty Clothes Build Up And When You Would Come Visit

[00:03:22] I Would Have To Haul All Your Bags Down To The Basement And Spend What Felt Like Days

[00:03:26] Washing And Drying Them

[00:03:28] I Thought You Loved Doing That Maid Ray

[00:03:30] That's Why I Would Always Save It For You

[00:03:32] I Said With A Big Grin On My Face

[00:03:35] My Mom Nudged Me On The Arm And Walked Away

[00:03:38] Sighing And Laughing

[00:03:40] I Hadn't Even Thought About That

[00:03:41] Not Only Would I Have To Be In The House Alone

[00:03:44] Not Only Would I Have To Laundry

[00:03:47] But I Would Have To Go To The Basement Alone

[00:03:50] I Leaned Back Against The Wall

[00:03:52] And Thought To Myself

[00:03:53] What The Hell Am I So Worried About

[00:03:56] I Am A Grown Ass Man

[00:03:58] This Is The Stupidest Thing To Be Concerned About

[00:04:01] A Basement?

[00:04:02] That's My Biggest Concern?

[00:04:04] Being Scared Of The Dark As I Run Up The Stairs?

[00:04:07] The Thought Alone Made Me Laugh

[00:04:08] It Was Ridiculous

[00:04:10] I Needed To Grow Up

[00:04:12] The Basement Hadn't Gotten Much Use

[00:04:15] As I Got Older

[00:04:16] I Started To Go Out More

[00:04:17] And Hang With Friends

[00:04:18] And Was Barely Even Home

[00:04:20] Then Once I Went To College

[00:04:22] My Visits Home Consisted Of

[00:04:24] Eating Homemade Food

[00:04:25] Seeing Family

[00:04:26] And Going Out Drinking With Friends

[00:04:29] The Pep Talk To Myself Ended

[00:04:32] When I Heard What Sounded Like A Stampede

[00:04:34] Coming Up The Basement Steps

[00:04:36] For A Split Second

[00:04:38] I Thought It Was In My Head

[00:04:39] Until My Nephew Busted Through The Basement Door

[00:04:42] Breathing Heavy

[00:04:44] And In Near Tears

[00:04:45] He Ran Straight To His Mother

[00:04:48] Joey

[00:04:48] Are You Okay?

[00:04:50] What Happened?

[00:04:51] My Sister Asked

[00:04:52] Still Catching His Breath

[00:04:53] Joey Answered

[00:04:54] Mom There Is

[00:04:55] Something Downstairs

[00:04:57] What Are You Talking About?

[00:04:59] Why Were You In The Basement?

[00:05:01] I Interrupted

[00:05:02] What Did You See Downstairs?

[00:05:04] I Didn't See Anything

[00:05:06] I Was Coming Up The Stairs

[00:05:08] And Someone Tried To Grab My Lake

[00:05:10] My Sister's Husband

[00:05:12] Told His Son To Calm Down

[00:05:13] And Gave Him A Hug

[00:05:14] He Told Him He Would Go In The Basement

[00:05:16] And Check

[00:05:17] While Everyone Else In The House

[00:05:19] May Think He Was Just A Scared Kid

[00:05:21] Whose Imagination Got The Best Of Him

[00:05:23] For Some Reason

[00:05:25] I Believed Him

[00:05:28] I Can't Tell You What It Was

[00:05:30] But I Know He Had The Same Feelings

[00:05:32] I Had As A Kid

[00:05:34] Every Time I Came Up Those Stairs

[00:05:36] He Felt Like Something Was Behind Him

[00:05:39] I Would Be Lying If I Told You I Wasn't Terrified

[00:05:44] I Never Told Anyone About The Little Routine I Had

[00:05:47] When Coming Up The Stairs From The Basement

[00:05:49] So Nobody Else Seemed To Be Concerned

[00:05:52] My Sister Was Calming My Nephew Down

[00:05:54] As My Brother-In-Law Made His Way To The Basement

[00:05:58] I Stood At The Top Of The Stairs And Looked Down

[00:06:01] I Watched As He Passed By The Staircase Several Times

[00:06:05] Looking Around For Someone

[00:06:07] Something

[00:06:07] Anything

[00:06:09] He Found Nothing

[00:06:11] He Made His Way Back Upstairs

[00:06:13] And He Assured My Nephew

[00:06:15] There Was Nothing Down There

[00:06:17] And Nothing To Worry About

[00:06:18] The Night Ended Shortly After That

[00:06:20] I Said Goodbye To My Family

[00:06:22] And Went Over To Hug My Nephew

[00:06:25] Uncle Jason?

[00:06:27] What's Up Pal?

[00:06:28] There Is Something Down There

[00:06:30] Be Careful

[00:06:32] He Gave Me A Hug That Lasted A Bit Longer Than Normal

[00:06:35] And Headed Toward The Door

[00:06:38] I Was Happy To Have My Parents Stay At The House At Least One More Night

[00:06:43] Before Heading To Florida

[00:06:45] After Driving Them To The Airport

[00:06:47] I Returned Back To The House

[00:06:49] I Walked In The Front Door

[00:06:51] And Took A Deep Breath

[00:06:53] This Is It

[00:06:54] I Said To Myself

[00:06:55] I Was On My Own In The House Now

[00:06:58] I Turned The Lights On In The Kitchen And Living Room

[00:07:01] Even Though The Sun Was Shining Through The Windows

[00:07:03] It Just Gave Me Extra Comfort Knowing The Lights Were On

[00:07:07] It Was A Safety Blanket For Me

[00:07:09] I Began To Clean Up From Last Night

[00:07:11] Before I Knew It

[00:07:12] Several Hours Had Passed

[00:07:15] I Got A Phone Call From My Sister

[00:07:18] Jay Do You Want To Come Over For Dinner?

[00:07:20] Tonight?

[00:07:21] Uh Sure

[00:07:22] I Don't Have Any Plans

[00:07:24] Sorry About Joey Last Night

[00:07:26] He Was Still A Little Shaken Up Even When We Got Home

[00:07:29] No Need To Apologize

[00:07:30] I Just Feel Bad He Was So Scared

[00:07:33] He Practically Begged Me To Invite You Over Tonight

[00:07:36] So I Told Him I Would

[00:07:38] I Think He Feels A Little Silly About What Happened

[00:07:41] Ah I Gotcha

[00:07:42] No Worries

[00:07:43] Seven O'Clock Good?

[00:07:45] Yeah

[00:07:45] Sounds Like A Plan

[00:07:46] See You Then

[00:07:47] I Rang The Doorbell

[00:07:51] And Almost Instantly

[00:07:52] The Door Swung Open

[00:07:53] It Was Joey

[00:07:54] He Ran Into The Porch

[00:07:56] And Hugged Me

[00:07:57] Uncle Jason

[00:07:58] You're Okay

[00:07:58] Yeah Buddy

[00:08:00] I'm Okay

[00:08:01] Are You?

[00:08:02] I Said

[00:08:02] With A Not So Subtle

[00:08:04] Fake Laugh

[00:08:05] My Sister Came To The Door

[00:08:07] And Grabbed My Jacket

[00:08:08] She Hung It Up

[00:08:09] And Made Her Way

[00:08:10] Towards The Kitchen

[00:08:11] Dinner Will Be Ready

[00:08:13] In Five Minutes

[00:08:13] Jack Should Be Getting Home

[00:08:15] From Jenny's Soccer Practice

[00:08:17] In A Few

[00:08:17] I Took A Seat

[00:08:19] At The Dining Room Table

[00:08:20] And I Could Feel Joey

[00:08:22] Staring At Me

[00:08:23] Why Was He So Concerned?

[00:08:25] It Struck Me As Odd

[00:08:26] But It Scared Me

[00:08:28] More Than Anything Else

[00:08:30] What The Hell

[00:08:32] Did He See

[00:08:33] In That Basement?

[00:08:35] What Did He Feel?

[00:08:36] Jack Went To Check

[00:08:38] No One Was Down There

[00:08:40] In All The Years

[00:08:41] I Lived At The House

[00:08:42] There Were No Problems

[00:08:44] Even Though I Ran Up

[00:08:45] Those Stairs

[00:08:45] Almost Every Night

[00:08:47] Nothing Ever Happened

[00:08:48] I Chalked It Up To Me

[00:08:50] Just Being A Scared Kid

[00:08:54] Uncle Jason

[00:08:55] Did You Go To The Basement

[00:08:56] Last Night When I Left?

[00:08:58] Uh

[00:08:59] No

[00:09:00] I Did Not

[00:09:01] After Seeing You Run Up

[00:09:02] Those Stairs

[00:09:03] I Was Not Risking It

[00:09:04] I Smiled At Him

[00:09:06] Nervously

[00:09:07] You Know

[00:09:08] I'm Not Scared Of Anything

[00:09:10] I Was Just Seeing What Old Games

[00:09:11] You Had Down There

[00:09:12] I Had The Light On

[00:09:14] While I Was Sitting

[00:09:15] Looking At The Shelves

[00:09:17] Someone Turned Out

[00:09:18] The Lights

[00:09:20] I Don't Think Anyone Was

[00:09:23] Close To The Basement

[00:09:24] Buddy

[00:09:25] I Heard Someone Breathing

[00:09:29] What?

[00:09:30] Someone Was Breathing

[00:09:32] Down There With Me

[00:09:32] That's When I Ran Into The Stairs

[00:09:34] I Felt Something Touch My Leg

[00:09:36] When I Opened The Door

[00:09:39] My Sister Walked Into The Dining Room

[00:09:41] With A Big Tray Of Pasta

[00:09:43] Food's Ready

[00:09:45] Jack Walked In With Jenny

[00:09:46] And The Kids Went To Go Wash Their Hands

[00:09:49] If No One Could Tell

[00:09:51] I Was Scared Before

[00:09:52] They Could Sure As Shit

[00:09:54] See Something Was Wrong Now

[00:09:56] My Sister Asked Me What's Wrong

[00:09:58] And I Told Her I Was Just Starving

[00:10:01] I Ate Tons Of Food

[00:10:03] And Tried To Clear My Mind

[00:10:05] Of What Joey Told Me

[00:10:06] I Asked My Sister If She Had Any Wine

[00:10:10] I Purposely Drank A Bit Too Much

[00:10:13] Which Caused My Sister To Tell Me To Just Spend The Night

[00:10:16] On The Couch So I Didn't Drive Home

[00:10:17] I Took Her Up On That Offer

[00:10:19] And Crashed On The Couch

[00:10:21] I Didn't Sleep Much

[00:10:25] It Was Sunday Now

[00:10:26] I Didn't Want To Be A Burden To My Sister

[00:10:29] And Her Family Anymore

[00:10:30] So I Said Goodbye

[00:10:31] And Headed Home

[00:10:32] I Had Work Tomorrow

[00:10:34] And Had Absolutely No Clothes To Wear

[00:10:36] I Had To Do Some Laundry

[00:10:38] In That Basement

[00:10:42] I Got Home

[00:10:43] And Gathered My Clothes

[00:10:45] I Headed For The Basement

[00:10:47] And I Had To Be A

[00:10:49] I Wanted To Be A

[00:10:50] I Swung Open The Basement Door

[00:10:52] And Made Sure To Keep It Open

[00:10:54] I Walked Down The Steps

[00:10:56] With My Giant Load Of Laundry

[00:10:58] And Threw My Clothes In The Washing Machine

[00:11:01] I Started It

[00:11:02] And Just As I Went To Turn Around

[00:11:04] I Thought I Heard

[00:11:06] I Thought I Heard A Noise

[00:11:08] Without Hesitation

[00:11:09] I Headed For The Stairs

[00:11:11] And Sprinted Up Skipping Four Steps

[00:11:13] With Every Lunge

[00:11:14] I Closed The Basement Door

[00:11:16] And Realized That I Left My Phone On The Table

[00:11:20] That Sound I Heard

[00:11:22] I Got To

[00:11:22] I Got To Relax

[00:11:26] When My Clothes Were Finished

[00:11:27] Washing

[00:11:28] I Put Them In The Dryer

[00:11:29] When All Was Said And Done With Laundry

[00:11:32] I Brought It Back Upstairs

[00:11:33] Without Any Incidents

[00:11:36] For The Next Few Weeks

[00:11:38] I Kept My Visits To The Basement

[00:11:40] At A Minimum

[00:11:41] I Always Had An Uneasy Feeling

[00:11:43] Whenever I Was Down There

[00:11:44] I Always Kept The Lights On

[00:11:46] And Never Closed The Door

[00:11:48] Even Though Nothing Had Happened

[00:11:50] I Certainly Wasn't Going To Take Any Chances

[00:11:55] It Had Only Been A Short While

[00:11:56] My Parents Were In Florida

[00:11:58] But They Wanted To Come Back For The Weekend

[00:12:00] So They Could See The Family

[00:12:01] I Of Course Told My Parents

[00:12:03] They Could Stay At The House

[00:12:04] This Was Their House After All

[00:12:07] We Decided It Would Be A Fun Idea

[00:12:09] To Have Game Night At The House

[00:12:10] Game Nights Always Consisted Of Good Food

[00:12:13] Lots Of Laughs

[00:12:14] And Always

[00:12:15] I Mean Always

[00:12:17] Arguments

[00:12:18] What Can I Say

[00:12:19] We Were A Competitive Family

[00:12:22] I Grabbed My Parents From The Airport

[00:12:24] In The Morning

[00:12:24] And By Dinner Time

[00:12:26] The Rest Of The Family Was Over

[00:12:27] Joey Didn't Leave His Parents' Side

[00:12:30] From The Moment He Got There

[00:12:31] He Was Constantly Looking Around

[00:12:33] And Listening Intensely

[00:12:35] To Whatever Sounds He Heard

[00:12:36] We Played Uno

[00:12:38] Sorry

[00:12:38] In Trouble

[00:12:39] All The Classics

[00:12:40] There Was One Big One

[00:12:42] We Hadn't Played Yet

[00:12:43] Monopoly

[00:12:44] The Ultimate Argument Maker

[00:12:46] I Teased My Sister

[00:12:48] About How I Used To Destroy Her

[00:12:50] In Monopoly

[00:12:50] And How She Still Ows Me Money

[00:12:52] From The Time She Landed On Park Place

[00:12:54] And Quit

[00:12:55] After Some Laughing

[00:12:56] I Realized Monopoly

[00:12:58] Wasn't Upstairs

[00:13:00] It Was In The Basement

[00:13:03] Once I Relayed The Message To Everyone

[00:13:05] That I Had To Go Get It

[00:13:07] Joey Ran Over To Me

[00:13:09] And Told Me

[00:13:10] And Told Me

[00:13:12] Please Uncle Jason

[00:13:13] Stay Up Here

[00:13:13] We Don't Have To Play Monopoly

[00:13:16] Relax Bud

[00:13:17] It Will Take Me Two Seconds

[00:13:18] I'LL BE RIGHT BACK

[00:13:20] No!

[00:13:21] He Shouted

[00:13:22] Please Stay Here

[00:13:24] Everyone Stopped What They Were Doing

[00:13:25] And Looked Over To Us

[00:13:27] Joey Was Clinging To Me

[00:13:28] My Sister Came Over To Put Him At Ease

[00:13:31] I Told Him I Wouldn't Go Down

[00:13:35] And It Was Going To Be Alright

[00:13:37] Without Anyone Noticing

[00:13:39] My Dad Made His Way Toward The Basement Door

[00:13:41] He Just Wanted To Keep Having Fun

[00:13:44] He Figured He Could Go Down

[00:13:46] Grab The Game

[00:13:47] And Come Back Up

[00:13:48] Before Anyone Even Realized

[00:13:51] Well

[00:13:51] We Did Realize

[00:13:53] We Realized

[00:13:55] Because We Heard The Basement Door Slam

[00:13:57] And My Dad Tumble Down The Staircase

[00:14:00] I Sprinted Over To The Door

[00:14:03] And Had To Wrestle It Open

[00:14:04] It Felt Like Someone Was Holding It

[00:14:06] From The Other Side

[00:14:07] I Finally Threw It Open

[00:14:09] And Ran Down The Stairs

[00:14:12] Monopoly Money

[00:14:13] Lined The Basement Floor

[00:14:15] The Game Must Have Flown

[00:14:17] Out Of My Dad's Hand As He Fell

[00:14:19] He Had A Nasty Bump On His Head

[00:14:21] But Insisted He Was Okay

[00:14:24] I Asked Him What Happened

[00:14:25] And He Said He Didn't Know

[00:14:28] I Grabbed The Game

[00:14:29] And Was Making My Way Back Up The Stairs

[00:14:31] I Just Wanted Everyone To Keep Having A Good Time

[00:14:34] I Got To The Top Of The Stairs

[00:14:36] And The Door Slammed Shut

[00:14:38] I Lost My Balance

[00:14:39] And Down I Went

[00:14:41] I'm Fine

[00:14:42] I Swear

[00:14:44] I Helped My Dad Back Up The Stairs

[00:14:46] And Sat Him Down At The Table

[00:14:48] My Mother Was Worried And Insisted He Go To The Hospital

[00:14:51] To Get Checked Out

[00:14:52] She Didn't Know If He Was Bleeding Internally

[00:14:54] Or Maybe Even Suffered A Concussion

[00:14:57] I Agreed With Her

[00:14:58] And Convinced My Dad That He Should Go

[00:15:01] As A Family We Gathered Our Things

[00:15:03] And Headed To The Hospital

[00:15:04] I Figured I Would Needed To The Hospital

[00:15:06] I Figured I Would Need The Next Couple Of Days From Work Off To Take Care Of My Dad

[00:15:09] And Make Sure He Was Alright

[00:15:11] It Wasn't Until We Got To The Hospital

[00:15:14] That I Realized I Left My Phone

[00:15:16] Back At Home

[00:15:17] I Told My Mom And Sister That I Needed To Go Home And Grab It

[00:15:22] Joey Overheard Of The Night

[00:15:23] And Pleaded To Go With Me

[00:15:26] I Looked At My Sister

[00:15:27] And She Shrugged

[00:15:29] Please Uncle Jason

[00:15:30] I Just Want To Make Sure You Are Safe

[00:15:34] When We Walked In The Door

[00:15:36] Something Seemed Off

[00:15:39] I Left The Lights On When We Left

[00:15:41] But Now They Were Off

[00:15:43] I Thought Maybe The Power Went Out

[00:15:45] But When I Hit The Switch

[00:15:47] The Lights Came Back On

[00:15:48] I Thought Maybe My Mom Hit Them On The Way Out

[00:15:52] I Went To Grab My Phone From The Counter

[00:15:55] When I Noticed The Basement Door

[00:15:57] It Was Closed

[00:15:59] I Know It Was Open When I Left

[00:16:01] Because Once We Got My Dad Back Upstairs

[00:16:03] And We All Agreed To Go To The Hospital

[00:16:05] We Left Soon After

[00:16:07] And No One Went Back Towards The Basement

[00:16:11] Curiosity Got The Best Of Me

[00:16:14] I Opened The Door

[00:16:16] Just As Quickly As I Opened It

[00:16:17] Joey Pushed It Shut

[00:16:19] Joey Why Did You Do That

[00:16:21] I Want To See Something

[00:16:22] There Is Nothing To See

[00:16:24] We Got Your Phone

[00:16:25] Can We Please Leave

[00:16:27] I Looked At Him For A Brief Moment

[00:16:29] And Reached For The Handle

[00:16:32] I Opened The Door And Saw The Basement Light

[00:16:34] Was Still On

[00:16:36] I Took A Breath

[00:16:37] Closed My Eyes For A Split Second

[00:16:39] And Made My Way Down

[00:16:43] I Don't Know What I Was Looking For

[00:16:45] I Don't Know What I Was Looking For But I Was Compelled To Go Down There

[00:16:48] I Heard Joey Follow Behind Me Down The Stairs

[00:16:51] I Peered Around The Corner

[00:16:54] And Saw Nothing

[00:16:56] Monopoly Money Still Strewn Across The Floor But Nothing Out Of The Ordinary

[00:17:01] I Hit The Switch With The Light

[00:17:03] I Hit The Switch With The Light Still Shining From The Top

[00:17:30] I Blindly Ran Up The Stairs

[00:17:33] I Hit The Stairs

[00:17:33] Hand Stretched Out In Front Of Me

[00:17:35] Reaching For That Door Handle

[00:17:36] I Grabbed It And Pushed But Couldn't Get Through

[00:17:39] Joey Let Me Out

[00:17:42] Open The Door

[00:17:43] Open The Fucking Door

[00:17:45] I Heard Footsteps

[00:17:47] Sprint Up The Stairs

[00:17:48] And I Felt Someone Wrap Their Hands Around My Leg

[00:17:53] The Door Flew Open

[00:17:55] And I Slammed It Behind Me

[00:17:58] I Heard Clawing At The Base

[00:18:00] Of The Door

[00:18:01] And Leaned With All Of My Weight

[00:18:03] Against It

[00:18:04] I Looked Over To My Right

[00:18:05] And Saw Joey Cowering In The Corner

[00:18:08] With Tears Pouring Down

[00:18:11] Joey

[00:18:11] Were You Holding The Door?

[00:18:14] Through His Screaming Cries

[00:18:16] He Said

[00:18:16] No

[00:18:17] I Told You Something Was Down There

[00:18:20] I Grabbed Joey

[00:18:22] And We Ran Out Of The House

[00:18:25] When We Got Back To The Hospital

[00:18:27] I Brought Joey To My Sister

[00:18:29] And Immediately Called The Police

[00:18:31] They Came By To Investigate The Empty House

[00:18:35] And Found Nothing In The Basement

[00:18:38] It Wasn't Until They Came Back Up The Stairs

[00:18:42] That They Saw The Claw Marks On The Door

[00:18:46] Whoever

[00:18:47] Whatever

[00:18:48] Was Down There Can Stay

[00:18:50] I'm Not

[00:18:54] That

[00:18:54] That Was

[00:18:54] My Last Night

[00:18:56] In That House

[00:18:58] I Don't Think I'll Ever Go Back
