Share your house sitting horror story.

A friend of mine had a house sitting horror story. He was taking care of a large house. One day, he noticed that some of the food in the pantry was being eaten, but he was alone in the house. Then he found mouse droppings everywhere. Turns out, there was a massive mouse infestation that the homeowners hadn't told him about. He had to deal with trying to catch the mice all by himself while also taking care of the house.

For me, the scariest part is when you hear unexplained noises. Like in the middle of the night, you hear footsteps or knocking, and you know you're alone in the house. It gives you this feeling of being watched and makes your heart race.

Well, once I went to an open house where there was a really strange smell. It was like a mix of old food and something rotting. Turns out the owner had a hidden rat problem in the attic. It was so gross and made the whole experience awful.

The feeling of being in someone else's space and not fully understanding the history of the place can be terrifying. There might have been a tragic event in the house in the past that you don't know about. And suddenly, you start experiencing things like cold spots or objects moving on their own. It gives you a sense that there's something not right with the place, and it can be very unsettling.

Well, I once babysat for a family. At night, I put the baby to sleep and was sitting in the living room. I heard a strange scratching noise coming from the baby's room. I went to check, and the baby was still asleep, but there were these long scratch marks on the wall that weren't there before. I was so scared. I called the parents, and they said there was no way the baby could have made those marks as it was too young to even stand. I didn't stay there for the rest of the night.

I remember house sitting for an elderly couple. Their house had a lot of old - fashioned furniture. One of the chairs looked like it was from the Victorian era. I sat on it to read a book and it made the loudest creaking noise. I was so scared I broke it. But later I found out it always made that noise. It was a really funny experience overall.

One horror story I heard was about a house that had a strange smell during an open house. No matter what, the realtor couldn't get rid of it. Turns out there was a dead rat in the walls. It was really disgusting and made potential buyers run away quickly.

I once ordered a computer from TigerDirect. When it arrived, the box was all banged up. I opened it nervously, and found that the monitor had a huge crack across it. I immediately contacted their customer service, but it took forever to get a response. And when they finally did, they were very unhelpful, trying to blame the shipping company instead of taking responsibility for their poor packaging.

Once I was camping in the woods. At night, I heard strange growling noises. I peeked out of my tent and saw a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move. After what felt like hours, the eyes disappeared. I later found out it was probably a wild dog, but it was terrifying at that moment.

Once in my Sims 4 game, my Sim moved into a seemingly normal house. But at night, strange noises started. When she went to the basement, there was a shadowy figure that disappeared when she got closer. It was really creepy and made her scared to be in the house alone.
