Today, I was babysitting. As I went to leave the bathroom, someone grabbed the knob and pulled the door shut. I figured it was one of the kids and told them to knock it off. A second later, the grip let off. There was no one there and the kids were still asleep. I don't know what to think. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was babysitting for my neighbors. Their 5 year-old had finally fallen asleep at 11 after two hours of stories and songs. No sooner had I tiptoed out of the room did I realize that my phone had dropped out of my pocket onto the bed. It was ringing. It was their mother checking in. FML
Today, I was babysitting. Being kind, I went to grab their mail, while their 4 year old ate lunch. He locked me out, wrecked the house, and let me in right when he saw their car two hours later. I didn't get paid. I paid them. FML
Today, I came home late from work. As I got out of my car, I noticed a child-shaped silhouette in my bedroom window. I almost shat myself, since I live alone. I searched the whole house, sobbing in fear, only to find no trace of whatever or whoever I'd seen. FML
Today, I was at a party and went to the bathroom. The door was tricky to lock, but in my inebriated state I thought I'd managed it. Apparently, I hadn’t. Midway through my business, the door swung open, and in walked a group of people looking for their coats. We just stared at each other in shock until someone finally closed the door. FML
Today, I was in a store using the only bathroom there. After I was done, I realized I couldn't open the door. Panicked it locked me in, I banged on the door, and screamed for help. The security and a whole group of people gathered, only to find that I was pulling the door instead of pushing it. FML
Today, at work, I was on my break when I had to use the bathroom. I was on the toilet taking a dump when the door latch loosened and the door swung open. The little girl standing there took one look and screamed. Security busted in. My pants were still down. FML
Today, I had to babysit two kids. It all went well until one of them duct taped a knife to a toy machine gun, lit the barbecue on fire, and ran around like a wild banshee screaming obscenities. The other one got scared and climbed onto the roof of the house. FML
Today, I was babysitting my co-worker's son. He was eating Jell-o and spilled it on his top, so I pulled off his PJ's, and went in his room to grab a new pair. I heard a thunk and ran to find him out cold on the floor. His parents walked in on me trying to wake up their naked 3 year-old. FML
Today, I was babysitting to make a few extra dollars. While changing one of the kid's diapers, I turned around to find the other kid gone. I turned back around frantically, only to get poop flung at my face. I guess I found him. FML
Today, while babysitting, the power went off. My little cousin pointed into the dark kitchen behind me and asked, "Who's that man standing there?" FML

Oh so it's was just ghosts then. Don't worry it's no big deal.

Oops, just saw "pulled the door shut," so I'm assuming it was actually open or you would've said "held" or something. Never mind, OP, it can only be ghosts. Burn the place down and salt the ashes, it's your only option now. Leave the kids, it's too late for them.

I really hope there are some pets in this house in addition to the kids

Pets don't grip doorknobs & hold them while you're trying to open the door.

My dog has #18, she learned to grab them with her paws and open doors, and she then learned if she holds it her her mouth she can lock us in. she ways 215pounds and she's very lean, so she's all muscle. So a dog could do that, although I haven't heard of it before.

maybe #1 said that because of that superstition that pets can see/sense ghosts and protect you!

Was the door already closed and you just felt resistance when you tried to turn the knob yourself? It was probably just something loose in the mechanism.

Sometimes doors can jam if the knob is turned, the curved lock doesnt go in, which makes the door stay shut, and when it loosens when you let go or put further force, it pulls in fully allowing the door to open.

so... burn the house down with the kids inside.... Yeah, that should make you feel better...
Kiernan151 25
Well you're going to take the kids out first #34 op is in the house also, s/he just going to burn herself to death also?

Maybe a breeze if the window was open? When I have my window open, even a slight breeze makes my door slam shut.

That's a ****** up thing to say.

No pentagrams no problem...
katelng09 16
Pentagrams are actually symbols that protect against evil so..
B1ackFr1day 10
different positions/ versions of pentagram represent different things.

Nah, what you need is to surround the place in salt

Unless you start seeing stacked chairs or the kids with their heads facing the wrong direction. Then your only option is to run.
tantanpanda 26
^yea, but then you'll trip over some nonexistent object and your kids/ghost will get you.

so um what's the number for the Ghostbusters again?

Grab the kids and burn the place to the ground. The parents will thank you for cleansing their property of the demon. I guarantee it.
stangbang92 17
That's.... That's no how you get rid of a demon. You have to stab them with a special blade.
Lalala579121 28
Why would you take the kids though? The demon would just latch on to them and follow you.
InnocenceBlue 38
Stangbang92....I have watched supernatural. And so many people have made references already just shhhh. It's called a joke.

if it's guaranteed...

My thoughts are don't go over to that house again. Creepy stuff.

At the very least, if OP vacated her bowels whilst in the bathroom, at least she wouldn't have a mess in her pants from being spooked.
jbuckets_404 39
OP, sorry to say, but it sounds like a poltergeist. My h/s buddy has experienced events of objects being moved around @ his place. Yikes! Supposedly, if you ask it out loud e.g., at the start of your shift, it will sometimes behave itself for a while - hopefully until you're gone - but I wouldn't do so within earshot of the kids. No sense in upsetting them.

Don't go back to that house. Imagine it follows you to your home. Well, that's if you believe in ghosts.
