What I am about to relate happened about 15 years ago and about three hundred miles away from my current location. I can give more information if requested, but I am not able to provide pictures, etc., nor can I provide a good timeline of events.

I moved my two sons and me into an old trailer … too old to be considered a mobile home! It was a very small two bedroom; only about 10 x 40. The kitchen was at one end, then the living room, first bedroom, bathroom, then the master bedroom. You had to walk through the first bedroom and bathroom to reach the larger bedroom.

This trailer was located in the country on about an acre of land; right next to I-5, the major interstate that runs from Mexico to Canada on the west coast.

The first thing I noticed about this house was it had no “vibes” … nothing. It didn’t feel pleasant, nor did it feel bad. It was very strange but I really needed to get out of the hotel apartment (kitchenette) we were living in and get life back to normal. This was just after my husband and I separated. Since we had been living in company housing, his company, my kids and I were pretty much out on the street.

In no particular order (since I can’t remember what happened first) here you go:

1. My bed would shake quite often. I first presumed it was from semi’s going by on the freeway, but it lasted too long. Sometimes the movement was pretty noticeable, almost violent, other times it was more subtle. It would usually last one to five minutes … which is why I ruled out heavy trucks going by.
2. On several occasions I came home from work and all the drawers in the built in dresser were open. Other times the closet doors were open. It had a small closet on either side of the dresser. When the closet doors were opened it would cover the dresser drawers so they could not all be open at once. I am a fanatic about keeping drawers and doors closed so I know I did not leave them open.
3. I had a cross in a small frame on the dresser. On one occasion this cross was hung, upside down, on the curtain rod above my bed.
4. This is the home where I saw “Red Eyes”, the shadow guy. He was standing at the foot of my bed. He appeared to be about 6’ to 6”3” tall; VERY black, with red glowing eyes. I invoked the name of Jesus and he left. I never saw him again.
5. On many occasions we would hear something banging across the roof of the trailer; from one end to the other. This happened during the day as well as at night. The first few times I heard it I would go outside to see if I could find the reason … I never did. We didn’t have squirrels on the property, so I couldn’t blame it on them. The only rodent’s we had were gophers. The dog and other animals had complete run of the property and kept outside animals off.
6. Quite often one could hear growling coming from one of the closets in my room. I did have a dog, a wonderful Dobie, and this was not her growl. My son heard it before I did; in fact, he heard it one night when I had the horse tied to the tree right by my bedroom. I told him it was probably the horse. His response was that he knew the difference between a growl and any sound a horse would make. After I heard the growl, I have to agree with him, it wasn’t the horse.
7. My boyfriend, at the time, was a complete non-believer. However, one night he came home late and heard “noises” in the attached laundry room. He thought I was hiding someone there (which is one of the reason’s he is an ex!) so he went to check it out. Lo and behold, there was someone in the laundry room … it was Red Eyes. He sure became a believer after that!
8. A friend of mine had a friend who was a psychic and she called her so she could do a cleansing. Supposedly she “saw” quite a few spirits leave the home including one, which my estranged husband had sent to watch over me, which started out as a wolf but changed to a very handsome man. I’m not sure I believe any of what she said although I do remember that activity calmed down for a while … who knows.
9. All activity was in the master bedroom. I don’t know why it didn’t move to the rest of the house. The “psychic” said it was because there was less “human” activity in the bedroom since it was at the end of the house. Kinda makes sense.
10. The last night we were there, my boyfriend had a dream that he was trying to pull me out of the trailer door, but something was holding my other arm, trying to keep me there. That was the day we moved out. There were some things that we couldn’t get that day, but we left it there.

So there it is … the scariest house I have lived in. To this day, if I have occasion to go north on I-5, I start praying a couple of miles before I pass that home and continue for a couple miles after.

Things are a lot better now!!

Believem me, I don't mind suggestions at all. I would love to find logical answers for the activity.

To answer your questions:

Red Eyes woke me up out of a sound sleep.

The bed would shake enough to wake me up at times, but usually is was minor shaking.

I think the trailer was actually pretty stable. While we were there, there was an earthquake that we were able to feel (which is really rare in Southern Oregon!), but nothing fell and none of the cupboards opened.

Since it was located so close to I-5 I really thought that loaded trucks going by might have caused some of the bed shaking; but I think I would have felt it more often if that was the case.

It's one of those head-scratchers.
