Mom Hears Noises In The Ceiling, Finds Man She Split With 12 Years Ago Living In Her Attic

It was like a horror movie coming to life. A part of her even wondered if she was having a very lucid nightmare. There was no other way she could explain what was happening. But it was not fiction.

He had been there, in her house, for who knows how long without her having the slightest clue. And when the full implications of this fact started to dawn on her, she couldn’t help but panic.

Pillar Of The Family

Even before this incident, life hadn’t been easy for Tracy. She was a single mother of five living in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Throughout her life, she had struggled to make ends meet and provide for her family.

Some of her children were grown now, but they all lived together in the family house to cut down on costs. Despite their circumstances, they had a happy home life. But then something started happening that threatened all of that.

The Sounds From Upstairs

One September day, Tracy started hearing strange noises coming from the attic. The first thing she thought was that there might be an intruder, but she was always very careful about locking all doors and windows.

She did this as a precaution because they lived in an impoverished part of town and break-ins were quite common. She didn’t see any signs of forced entry so she chalked it all up to her imagination.

But soon she began to wonder if something else was going on.

The Possibilities Are Endless

Tracy could imagine all kinds of things and completely let her imagination run wild coming up with theories and speculation. The possibilities ranged from the innocent and innocuous to the terrifying.

She’d find out soon enough, and she would wish she hadn’t!

Trying To Find The Source

Throughout the following days, Tracy kept hearing random sounds coming from up above. She asked her kids if they had been playing around in the attic, but they all said they hadn’t.

She believed them — the attic was dark and musty and not a fun place for kids to play in. She rarely went up there herself, except when she had something she wanted to store. But as the noises continued, she came up with a different theory.
