"The app tracked my sleep sounds. At 3 AM, a voice asked me a question. It was a voice I'd never heard before." What starts as a helpful habit turns into a waking nightmare. A young man housesitting…
When I arrived at the house, my grandparents had already left for their cruise.
I entered through the garage using the code.
The house was two stories with a finished basement.
On the second story, there was four bedrooms, two bathrooms, while the first floor had a bedroom and a bathroom on it.
When someone entered the front door, they would be greeted by an entry hall with L-shaped stairs leading to the second floor.
Once I got inside, I went up to the guest room and placed my bags on the bed.
The guest room was immediately to the left of the stairs once you reached the top.
After unpacking my bags and making myself comfortable in my new room, I ran to the corner store down the block and picked up some snacks for the party that night.
I then decided to head downstairs, where they kept the liquor for parties, to see what drinks I'd be able to sneak off with for my friends.
When I went downstairs, I got scared by a ghoul decoration between the fridge and the stairs.
Its head turned towards the fridge.
My grandparents must have bought it for the most recent Halloween, explaining why I'd never seen it.
After jumping slightly at the sight of the ghoul, I grabbed some bottles of liquor from the cabinet and I went upstairs to prepare.
After a few hours of prepping the house for my friends, I unlocked the door and they trickled in.
So I won't bore you with the details, but everyone had a good time.
They had left by around 1 in the morning.
I went back to the guest room and began running the app.
I was able to sleep through the first night before waking up around noon.
After going around the house watering all my grandmother's plants, I checked my phone and went through all the entries.
Everything seemed normal until one entry at 3 in the morning.
As I played it, curious about what sounds I must have made, I realized the noises were not coming from me, but were footsteps outside of my bedroom door.
They made their way downstairs before the audio recording had finished.
Out of curiosity, I went and I messaged everyone who had attended the party that previous night, asking if anyone had left later than I thought.
To my relief, my friend, let's call him Sam, had responded that he went to lay down at around midnight, waking up and leaving at three, not wanting to wake me up.
So, I breathed a sigh of relief, going, checking the door, seeing that it was for sure unlocked from when he had left, and I quickly locked the door, returned to my room to check the rest of the audio logs.
