Ghost Story of the Basement in a Haunted House :: Ghost Stories Urban Legends

The Door in the BasementThis business relationship was told by a 19 year old Caucasian male. The story was related in an informal, one on one setting between classes at the University. The teller did not personally experience the events in the story, just now he hear the story directly from the people involved in it. The telling of the story was recorded, and the following transcript is nearly verbatim, with only minor modifications for the sake of limpidityOk, so I guess this story happened probably ab show up fifteen years ago, maybe more than that. One of my parents friends had just bought a house. He and my parents other friend, names being Bill and Bernie, were going to the house to postulate it up before Bill actually moved in. So, theyre feeling around this house, and they were run forings on it for probably a week or two, and during the week they had noticed that there was this black access in the basement. And it had a red X mark across it. They couldnt open the door it had never actually been opened before as far as they knew. But it was just sort of weird and creepy, just had a genuinely bad feeling to it, and again the door never really opened, so they didnt think too much of it.Well, one night eyepatch they were working in the basement where the door was, Mr. Bernie had to leave to go get along some extra parts or extra tools or something, so he got up and left. Mr. Bill was still working down in the basement. Well, it was maybe fifteen or twenty minutes later, and Mr. Bill was working in the basement not paying much attention to whats going on, when he hears footsteps up steps. So he thinks its Mr. Bernie coming back. Hes waiting, and the footsteps are walking around. They go into the kitchen area, they go into the living get on area, and theyre just walking around. Eventually he yells up the stairs Bern, what are you doing? Get down here, help me out There was no reply. Mr. Bill waits for another minute or two, and still no reply, but he still hears the footsteps. So he starts to walk upstairs, ready to tousle Mr. Bernie back downstairs and getting really mad at him that hes walking around upstairs not helping him out while Mr. Bills trying to do some work downstairs.
