[00:40.69]had also grown extremely uncomfortable
[00:43.74]with the same section of the dwelling 2
[00:46.16]and had experienced cold spots
[00:48.67]in front of the stairway and bathroom.
[00:52.83]By Thursday of that first week
[00:55.41]I returned home from classes
[00:57.39]to find her standing 3 outside the apartment door,
[01:01.06]white as a sheet.

[01:06.12]that I noticed she was clutching my .45 caliber 4 handgun
[01:10.51]in a death grip.

[01:31.68]stomping up the stairs
[01:33.40]followed by the sound of a door
[01:35.24]being violently slammed shut
[01:38.01]and, fearing for her safety,
[01:40.81]grabbed the pistol and ran outside.
[01:45.32]I was skeptical 5 at first
[01:47.79]but it quickly became obvious to me
[01:50.30]that she was clearly frightened
[01:52.66]and certainly believed what she was telling me
[01:55.65]as she steadfastly 6 refused to reenter the dwelling
[02:00.71]until either I or the police
[02:03.80]had cleared it of possessing any potential danger.
