The Ghost Saved Us
I lived in a loft apartment. Many strange things happened there, but only the first encounter was scary. The place had a weird wall furnace in it. When winter came, my new boyfriend lit up the furnace for me. Just as he did, everything went crazy.
We heard—but didn’t see—doors slamming and footsteps running up and down the stairs. The lamp hanging above the table began to swing wildly. I was standing there in shock while all that was happening. My boyfriend then turned the furnace off and took the front off of it.
It was filled with a mouse nest that was just starting to smolder. How he knew to remove the door was beyond me. When I asked him, he said he didn’t know why he did that.
