The following story was published last year, but I was asked about bringing it up again to make it easier to find, so it will remain here in the meantime while I bring you the next week's episode.

It was one of the creepiest stories we've told, so I think it's worthwhile to put it up here.

Something that could happen to anyone.

Picture this.

It's time for bed after a long day at work and you're about to go to sleep.

The lights are off and your relaxing sound machine is on and you're pulling back your sheets.

Suddenly, you hear a tapping. It sounds like it's coming from inside of your walls. Great, just what you need. A rat

problem. You look for an exterminator to call after work tomorrow. But the next morning,

when you wake up, things seem a bit out of place. There's a cup in the sink, but you left your sink empty. One of your chairs is too

far back. But that's not how you left it, or is it? Maybe you did. While you're standing in the

kitchen, confused, there's more tapping. But this time it sounds like footsteps. Your heart starts racing. Maybe it's not a

rodent problem. Could your apartment be haunted? When people find things out of place in their

house and start hearing strange sounds, their minds go to the paranormal, although sometimes the truth and the living

can be far worse.

My name is Edwin, and here is a horror story.

Philip Peters retired after 40 years at the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad

in 1930.

He and his wife, Helen, were enjoying their time together.

The children were adults now and lived 250 miles away.

For fun, Philip and Helen were part of a local mandolin band and they taught music lessons

together.

But their fun and carefree retirement came to an end in 1941.
