[00:18.60]House Of Eyes
[00:23.75]鬼眼之屋
[00:31.00]A little under a year ago
[00:33.10]I moved into this old style house by a highway.
[00:37.29]At first I loved the tight,
[00:39.34]cozy¹ feeling of the place and didn't mind the draft
[00:43.24]that came under the doors.
[00:45.89]But after some time,
[00:47.54]I found the drafts² make moaning³ noises
[00:50.25]more than peaceful whistles,
[00:52.85]the floorboards creak an irritating,
[00:55.40]and rather unnerving sound,
[00:58.45]and the cozy little walls to be suffocating⁴.
[01:02.40]I first noticed the "Presence"
[01:04.51]after a few nights in my room,
[01:07.00]and eventually began to grow accustomed
[01:09.89]to the ever- constant feeling
[01:11.68]of being watched in certain rooms of the house.
[01:15.42]When first moving in,
[01:17.46]I heard some stories about a family who lived here,
[01:21.22]or more about two family members lived AND died here.
[01:25.75]A Grandmother and her Grandson.
[01:28.79]Apparently, the grandson was left in the bathtub
[01:32.21]in the hall bathroom alone too long and drowned,
[01:37.16](His bathroom is now My bathroom)
[01:40.04]and the Grandmother's place of death hasn't been specified
[01:43.47]but her bedroom is the one at the end of the hall
[01:47.79]with the bathroom in it. (My bedroom. O Joy!!)
[01:52.42]I have explained
[01:53.57]that I feel that I am watched throughout the house,
[01:57.27]always feeling someone there keeping a close eye on me.
[02:01.32]But my most recent bathroom scare
[02:03.28]came about three months ago.
