My name is Chuck and I am the owner of Creepy Sales Inc. a multi-million-dollar company (before you ask no you never heard of it) and my hobby is the study of demonic cults. Usually, things are great but lately, some unusual things have happened. The day started normal with the family eating breakfast at the table in our old white house on Elm Street, Clarence, NY. The kids went off to school and my wife Pauline went to work at the hospital (she's a Nurse Practitioner). I was the last to leave as always, I went to work and came home.

When Pauline came home she smiled and said, "Hi Honey how was your day?".

"My day was boring and I was in a meeting all day" I replied. Pauline and I started to relax when the kids came home. I looked at my wife with a smile.

"Chris, Thea, can you please come here a moment," I said to them as they started for the stairs. When they came in they sat on the couch and looked at me. I looked at both of them sitting there with worry on their faces.

I smiled and said, "What's with the long faces?"

"Are we in trouble Daddy?" Thea whispered.

I laughed, "Of course not honey, we have a surprise for you two!"

They smiled, "Really, what is it?" They said in unison.

"Well, first things first we have to eat supper, then you will get your surprise." With a smile and some laughter, we ate a fabulous meal prepared by the best cook in the house, Pauline. After supper, I looked at Pauline and nodded.

"Well, I guess it's just about that time," Pauline says, she goes upstairs to our bedroom and gets the kid's surprise. When she came down the Chris and Thea were practically jumping out of their seats.

Pauline takes four pieces of paper out from behind her back and says, "Here they are!"

The kids look at each other and Chris says, "What are they?"

I smiled and said, "There tickets to see that movie you guys have been wanting to see."

They looked at each other and smiled, "Piper and Friends!"

They hugged Pauline and me and said in unison" I love you" -they looked at each other- "when do we go"

I smiled, "Friday night." Thea jumped with excitement knowing that they were going on her 10th birthday. "Happy Birthday Thea!"

Chris looking sad, knowing that his 5th birthday is Sunday said, "Daddy, what are we doing for my birthday?"

I smile at him and said, "We, are all going to" -I pause for a moment- "Florida for a week and, we are all going to Blue Rim park"

They both started to jump, "Your the best parents ever." they said in unison.

I sent the kids to bed upstairs and that's when everything started. When the kids were finally in bed we decided to sit on the couch and watch a movie. Halfway through the movie we both heard a loud thump and some laughing.

I said, “It’s just the kids.” Pauline went to go check on them.

I waited a minute and paused the movie. After 2 minutes they started to scream. I ran as fast as I could and as I was running up the stairs and down to the kid’s room all of the floorboards were creaking and groaning and a few almost broke.

When I got there they were lying on the floor their faces...
