[00:27.83]Our Attic 1
[00:30.93]我家的阁楼
[00:39.32]We moved in our new house.
[00:41.37]The house has cathedral ceilings up and down,
[00:44.94]and the only attic space was in the adjoining wall
[00:48.63]from my son's room, which is above the kitchen.
[00:52.90]It is about twelve feet long,
[00:55.49]and its highest point is about five feet,
[00:58.85]and then it tapers 2 down from the angle of the roof...
[01:04.28]The first thing I noticed that was odd
[01:06.61]was that it had been nailed shut.
[01:09.35]Not just with a few nails
[01:11.24]but about twelve long ominous 3 ones...
[01:14.77]The former occupant was either attempting
[01:17.39]to stop someone getting in….Or out.
[01:21.13]The house is in a very nice neighborhood
[01:23.90]with a creek 4 nearby,
[01:26.01]the mountains nicely within view
[01:28.43]and a multitude of parks...
[01:31.99]It was upon the third night
[01:33.67]that we first heard something out of sorts...
[01:36.82]A scratching noise above the kitchen.
[01:39.56]I told my wife and son
[01:41.48]that we must have a trapped animal
[01:43.47]in the attic space,
[01:45.54]perhaps a rat.
[01:47.43]Yet, for some unexplainable reason
[01:50.16]my imagination kept considering
[01:52.48]a far more sinister 5 prospect 6...
[01:55.04]Whatever the course
[01:56.08]I was going to have to investigate…
