One weekend, in October last year, my cousin was getting married. So my aunt and uncle decided to rent a cabin for the weekend and invited our family to come stay with them. The cabin was deep in the forest and that in itself put me on edge. 

The cabin was fairly nice, though no one had any cell service and the TV had no signal. And the cabin was in the process of renovation, so there were open balconies through little doors and little storage holes all over the place.

The place had a very uneasy feel and after an hour or so, everyone felt it. But we shrugged it off, thinking that maybe ignoring it would make it better.

So the next day and the day of the wedding, everyone was in the process of getting ready and waiting. I was sitting on one of the couches, my mom and dad were on a couch on the other side of the room, and my grandma was in a recliner next to them. The living room we were in had large windows all around so we could see the deck that wrapped around as well. On the deck were three canvas chairs we moved back by the door.

While we sat there, there was a loud rumbling noise on the deck. We all looked out the window and watched as the chair in the middle moved by itself across the deck and stopped right at the edge. There was absolutely no wind, if anything, a tiny breeze. But even then, if that one chair had moved, then surely the others would have but they remained unmoved and untouched.

That freaked everyone out but we went to the wedding and had a good time and got over the initial creepiness of the event. But we still felt uneasy when we got back and I had gone to the bathroom and was washing my hands, just looking in the mirror. As I just spaced out, I watched as the air freshener on the toilet behind was thrown off. Luckily that was the last night there and I was eager to get out the next morning.

The week before my grandpa had passed away and my grandma kept saying it was probably him since we hadn’t had the memorial, but I don’t know. That felt much too sinister in my opinion to be my grandpa who was such a great and generous person.
