917 West Dakin

I lived on the 4th floor. Within several weeks, my roommate and I began to notice strange things happening. My mom was taking pictures, because she was redoing the blinds, adding a rug to the wood floors, etc., and there was a strange white ripple through about half of the photos when she got them developed. No big deal right? I was watching tv on night and the channel jumped to the Spanish channel. Closet doors would open, things would fall off the table. I was constantly picking things off the floor. One morning, my roommate asked me why I was spying on him the night before - we had WINDOWS between our rooms (which was strange all in itself - guess there was no other way to layout the apartment). He saw a girl in the window. I'm not kidding you. He thought it was me. I showed him it was literally impossible for me to be where he saw this girl. That was the last straw. I went online and researched our address and came up with a guy (who set fire to the 3rd floor stairwell because he was evicted for not paying rent, killing everyone on the 4th floor, including a 15 year old girl. This place creeped me out. The creepiest thing was when the heat kicked on (we never turned it on being on the 4th floor - heat rises) after I said it was a little nippy, and I wasn't able to turn it off by the thermostat switch. We moved in at a odd time, December, so the building managers wanted us to renew our lease 6 months from then, June. Needless to say, we didn't renew the lease. I'm really surprised I stayed there that long. True story.
