When we found our dream house to rent in a nice neighborhood, we thought we’d hit the jackpot. But then strange and startling things started happening inside during storms. Not wanting to live in fear and discomfort, my wife and I devised a cunning plan.
Moving day was supposed to be exciting.
My wife, Emily, and I had spent weeks packing and daydreaming about our new rental house, but before we even moved in, someone sent us a scary message warning us against staying in the new home.
The house we were renting was a charming craftsman-style home, tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac. The landlord, Adam, seemed like a nice older gentleman, and the previous tenants, a young couple named Ben and Sarah, stood to the side during the meeting.
They were friendly and gracious during the handover, and we exchanged names, last names, and numbers in the process. The couple even left us a basket of homemade muffins as a parting gift!
Looking at the house, it was obvious that the previous tenants had taken good care of it because it looked almost new.
My wife and I instantly fell in love with the streaming sunlight passing through it and its stylish layout. When Emily and I arrived at our old place, we were buzzing with excitement until something strange happened.
As we continued packing the last items that evening, my phone buzzed with a Facebook notification. A stranger named “Bee Warned” had sent a friend request, accompanied by a message.
Curiously, I opened it.
The message read: “Find a reason. Tell the owner you’ve changed your mind, but DON’T move into that house. You’ll regret it soon.
He didn’t tell you the whole truth.”
I froze, staring at the screen. The account looked new and had no profile picture or posts. Before I could reply or show Emily, the account was deleted.
“Everything okay?” Emily asked, setting down a box of books.
I hesitated, feeling quite freaked out by the message but not wanting to scare or worry my wife unnecessarily.
I said, “Yeah. Just a spam message, I think.”
I tried brushing it off, convincing myself that it was a weird prank. But I couldn’t quite shake the warning.
When we moved into our new house, I honestly expected the worst but was surprised when everything was perfect!
Adam appeared to have been upfront about everything. I felt calmer knowing there was no reason to worry and chalked the Facebook message up as someone’s bad idea of a joke and nothing more.
