Apartment 1306

Apartment 1306
Theres an apartment below mine on the 13th floor, the 6th unit at he end of the hall on the left. I know apartment buildings, hotals and what not try to avoid the truth about the 13th floor so technically its apartment 1406 but Id rather stick to the truth.

You see up untill about 2 months ago that place wasnt for rent from what I knew, but then, a month later I had heard someone moved in. I can`t say whether I was excited or not, I just hoped they wouldnt be partyers becuase I enjoy my sleep. The, one month later, things started t take a turn. I had heard some noise coming from below, like shuffeling around. Two days later there was more noise, like banging and muffeled thumps.

One day later I start to hear yelling, I was reluctant tocall the police or the owner of the building thinking it was a one time thing since there hadnt been any problems since they first moved in. I was wrong. About a week hadpassed and no noises were coming from below so i had finally thought it was over. Wrong agian. At about 3:28 in the morning i hear a scream and loud thumping noises, man was I pissed, I headed out my door and when I took the first step out the door I hear more screaming, it sounded like a woman, but I didn`t care at the moment. I just stormed off down the allway to the exit stairs and when I got to the apartment I bang as loud as I could on the door, not 3 seconds later on the other side of the door, someone, bangs on the door back at me.

I grew increasingly angry and kicked the door with my foot, hard and loud, probably the whole floor heard me but I didn`t care. The same thing happens but this time, twice. I tried negotiating with whoever was on the other side by saying KEEP IT DOWN OR I`M CALLING THE POLICE! And as soon as i finish my sentence thers scratching on the other side of the door. Then i hear the sound of a woman crying. I gave up, Im about to leave when my bare foot stepped in something wet...and warm. I looked down and whar I saw changed my veiw of horror forever.

What I saw was a deep crimson red pool of blood, oozing out from underneath the door. I sttod there paralyzed in fear, it was just leaking from underneath, the sound of scrathching filled my ears but my brain failed to acknowledge it. Then I get a burst of energy and I decide to use it wisely by chargin up the exit stairs, downmy hallway and back into the safety of my apartment. I didn`t get any sleep that night. All i hear from downsatirs...are some muffeled thumps.

The next morning I decide to call the owner to notify him of the night before and that I`m calling the police. I tell hi of the noise and screaming, but not of the blood. I don`t know why but it seemed a little too...unreal I guess thats the word. But, when i finish, what he tells me next, makes the blood look like a normal occurence that night. he said ``But, that unit has been vacant ever since the building was built```. I just stand there holding the phone once agian fear gripping me, unable to move. He asks if Im there and I answer eventually ``Its probably just the pipes man.`` he says casually and hands up.

These events mentioned here happened in 2002. Its been ten years now and I have since moved away. From what I know, there was a fire in the that destroyed half the building and made it un-livable. The news said it started in a unit, but they didnt release the number, but I already knew which one it was. The building was torn down and they have built a park there for kids in its place. You know, sometimes, I can still hear the screaming whenever I drive by there at night.
