Moving into a new house usually comes with its own set of adjustments, but for this family, the change brought something unexpected—something that seemed tied to one specific part of the home.
At first, it was subtle. A feeling here and there, easy to dismiss and move past. The kind of things you don’t think twice about, especially in a space that’s still new to you.
But once she moved into the basement, those small moments started to build. Things that could be explained individually began happening more frequently, and the sense that something wasn’t quite right became harder to ignore.
What’s strange is that whatever was happening didn’t seem to follow her—it stayed in one place. And once she left that space, everything stopped.

Hi, Kathy Gordon.
Well, hey, Carol, how's it going?
Well, it's going pretty good.
I think one thing that we've pretty much decided on this show is that you can live in
a new house and it can still be haunted.
Absolutely.
I've done it.
It could be the land.
It could be something you brought home.
It could be something that came home with you.
I just think there's a lot of ways.
I like number three.
Something you brought home?
Was that number three?
Yeah.
I can't remember.
Something you brought with you.
Now, that's why I have a feeling that you don't buy anything haunted at Target or Walmart.
So, I'm just going to why stuff there?
They do not, now, you got to watch Dollar General.
I think some of that stuff could be haunted, but never Target or Walmart.
Actually, I'm teasing you guys because I was thinking that through.
I was actually thinking that through.
If somebody was to say, you know, what's more haunted?
Walmart or Dollar General?
I'd be like, oh, Dollar General.
I don't know why I would say that, but I don't know why either.
But I would think that too.
I would vote for Dollar General to be the more haunted of the two.
I don't know what?
Or Family Dollar.
I would still pick Dollar General.
I'm going to go Dollar General, 100% on that one, yeah.
Because they're just darker.
The lights in Dollar General are dark.
Mm-hmm.
Oh my God.
So, I was in Dollar General last winter, up the street for my house, and it was really
cold in there.
And the girl, it was really cold outside, and the girl was wearing a coat coat as she
was working.
And I said, God, it's really bad that they've got to check out right by the front door.
We've got to be freezing.
And she said, well, we don't control our thermostat.
That's done by a regional office or some other place.
And they don't turn it in.
In Florida, where it's 80 degrees.
So she goes, it's the heat's not even on.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
And it was in the teens.
Well, that couldn't be good for the building itself.
Right?
Like, that's where the pipes of things, something's got to give.
Either that or that's just what somebody told her.
Maybe that's what her GM told her to scare away from the thermostat.
You know, you can't touch that.
It's all controlled by headquarters.
Yeah, probably.
And you know, you could get fired if you touched that.
She's like, okay, I'm touched.
That's right.
And that's the way I would, I parented the whole time I parented.
Don't touch the thermostat.
Oh my gosh.
Don't touch that mirror.
If you break it, it is seven years of bad luck.
I mean, a long time.
Longer than you've been alive.
It will be bad.
It will be really bad.
And you're going to have to live with that.
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
Well, let's go to this story about what is haunting their new house.
Okay.
Let's go with it.
So when I was 16 and living with my dad, my stepmom, my younger brother moved out and
lived with my mom for time.
So I decided I wanted to take his room downstairs.
This was quite a feat for me considering I hate basements with a fiery passion, but I figured
I would give it a shot.
That's what happens when you're 16 and you really want your own space.
You're like, I hate basements, but it's worth a shot.
I did the same thing.
There really wasn't even a bedroom down there.
You just made one.
Yep.
I just put up some curtains and sectioned it off.
And when Kathy moved out, I did not move down there.
My stepmom had this house built and had only been living in it for about a year before
she married my dad and we moved in.
The basement only had two bedrooms finished in the back part for my stepbrother and me.
I really didn't think of anything wrong when I decided to move into the basement.
Before I made the move, I would sit in the basement and do my homework and I always had
the feeling of being watched, sometimes it would creep me out and at other times I just
rushed it off and went about my business.
My brother had left his stereo and his TV in the room when he moved out and after I finished
moving my bed and dress her downstairs, I had no desire to move my TV and my stereo
that night so I just left them there.
I ended up falling asleep and then waking up at two in the morning to my little brother's
stereo clicking on and off.
It was just clicking.
No music playing.
It was like someone was sitting in front of the stereo just pressing the on and off button
over and over and over again.
I grabbed the remote and pressed the power button but nothing happened.
So I got up, I walked over to the stereo and pressed the power button.
Nothing happened, it just kept clicking.
Finally, I was so behind irritated that I just kicked the stereo and wound up going back
to sleep.
After that, I noticed random temperature changes in my room.
It would go from ice cold to extremely hot in a matter of seconds depending on what part
of the room you were in at the time.
For the most part, I just shrugged it off and didn't think anything about it.
For Christmas, my dad and stepmom went all out and got me a TV with a DVD slash VHS combo
buzzing.
Are you kidding me?
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
That would have been amazing.
Not only amazing, but I'll bet that thing was huge.
And expensive.
Those weren't cheap when they came out.
Oh, VHS, and DVD, all in one, holy cow.
I was super excited and after I got back from visiting my mom, we decided to hook it up.
So that night, I was chilling in bed watching TV and almost asleep with my TV shut off.
I didn't set a sleep timer or roll over onto the remote, so that was when I started to
get a little confused.
I grabbed the remote and pressed the power button.
The TV didn't come on.
The remote had brand new batteries, so after getting frustrated that my new TV might be
broken, I set up, turned the light on, pressed the power button on the TV.
The TV came on, but then continued to turn itself on and off on and off over and over
again.
I walked upstairs and I let my dad know what happened and he told me to try another
outlet.
I plugged my TV into another outlet and tried turning it on and the same thing happened.
I told my dad again and he said, well, there is probably a short in the TV and offered
to take it back the next day to exchange it.
Happy with the answer, I went back downstairs and decided to listen to music.
When I turned my stereo on, it started changing discs randomly, playing a song for a second
and then switching the songs.
After that, I had a minor freak out and unplugged all of my electronics and slept upstairs.
After that night, I moved upstairs and had no further issues with my TV.
My little brothers were in to motocross and would go to races, but I refused to go to
these races because I would get bored and my parents didn't want to put up with me.
My parents usually didn't get home until around 12 or 1 am, so I would be home by myself
or go hang out with friends.
You remember those days of when your kids did sports or activities and it would be a
whole day long thing and then you'd have to keep the other kids entertained.
Oh, yeah, I totally do.
So they were probably like, yeah, you want to stay home by yourself that is perfectly fine.
You were 16, so my aunt could not have a dog where she was living.
So we ended up dog sitting for Sadie for her.
While my parents were with my brothers, I stayed home watching TV and Sadie was lying
on the floor sleeping.
When all of a sudden, she jumped up and started growling.
The fur on her neck was standing straight up.
She stood there for about a minute and then bolted to the basement door and started barking.
When I got close to see what she was barking at, she turned on me and started growling
at me.
I reached over to her and grabbed the door and slammed it shut and locked it.
She stayed in front of the door until my parents got home.
My friend had spent the night.
So we were watching horrible B-movies and eating popcorn when I got a call from a friend
of mine.
Oh, this is horrible.
Who said our friend from school had died from an overdose.
Oh, that's horrible.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
And she said a little depressed.
We called it a night.
It went to bed.
I would think a lot depressed.
That is horrific.
Yeah.
My parents were with my brothers.
So we made sure everything was locked up and we were out.
Well, when my parents got home that night, my brother went downstairs to go to bed.
The basement door that leads outside was open.
I had made sure it was locked before I went to bed.
So because of the experiences I had in a house that was just built and no one had ever
lived in it before, I believe it was the land that was haunted and not the house.
But any feedback would be great.
So I don't know.
And it definitely seems like it's all connected to the basement for sure.
Well, definitely.
And it has a lot of the classic elements, electronics that are acting up cold temperature changes.
The feeling that somebody's watching you.
Those are all super classic sorts of things that happen.
And the fact that when she moved back upstairs, the electronics worked again.
Yeah.
And that's odd.
You know, that would be like when we were kids and we would leave our house and go next
door like to go visit Brenda or you would go babysit or something.
You got into a regular house and it just felt so normal and not like there was just a
different sense.
Could I put my finger on it that somebody is staring at me right there?
It just was a suppressive, dark feeling and it would mess with our electronics.
Yeah.
And so I definitely think something was going on in the basement.
You know, you have to wonder it could be the land because when you think about the
land and all the things that might have happened on that land, I mean, we don't know, right?
If something had happened, do we know where this house was?
It does not say.
They didn't mention, okay, not that it's, you know, but I was just thinking like sometimes
back in, you know, early settler sorts of days, they might have lost somebody and had
to bury them along the way.
I think could have come home with them.
That's what I want to do.
I, you know, that's my always kind of go to, I kind of lean into that one sometimes, but
it doesn't mean that it couldn't be the land.
She totally could be right and I always kind of defer to the listener because the person
that wrote it in because they often have a gut instinct that I think is usually pretty
good.
And she said she was feeling like it was the land.
The other thing in this story that was interesting was the dog.
Right.
And it was like the dog was protecting her, do not go in the basement.
Yeah.
So when she turned to do, the dog turned on her like, you're not getting over here.
Yeah.
Yeah, very much so.
So I don't know, but I definitely, definitely, definitely think that you can be in a brand
new house.
The first people to ever live in it and they still think it could be on it.
I do too.
I absolutely do.
So I think everything's valid.
I just think it's interesting that whatever it is is staying downstairs and doesn't seem
to be affecting the rest of the house.
No.
It was interesting that the door was open, right?
To the brother and she locked it.
Uh huh.
Why is the brother?
I'd be moving upstairs too.
Oh, yeah.
I'd be right out of there.
That's for sure.
This creepy stuff.
