My aunt’s room was downstairs, and we all stayed in a room down the hall from hers. I told myself that the sounds were caused by the wind, or the fact that the house was so old, and really never thought twice about it. I refused to ever go upstairs though. The thought that the place could be haunted never really crossed my mind. I just thought it was a creepy old house. That is, until one night in particular.

姑妈的房间在楼下，我们几个都呆在她南面的那个房间里。我经常告诫自己这些声音是由风引起的，或者是因为这些房子年久的缘故。虽然我不愿意到楼上去看看，但我真得是没有考虑过还有别的原因。我觉得这只是一所让人不寒而栗的老房子，真得从来没产生过房子里会闹鬼这样的想法。但是，在一天夜里，出现了特别。

Bedtime had come a long time ago, but us being kids we stayed awake and goofed around for a while. Eventually we all fell asleep. This night I seemed to have a lot of trouble staying asleep though. I kept waking up periodically for no apparent reason. On about the fourth time waking up, I thought I felt a poke on the heel of my foot, which is what woke me. I rolled over and looked around the room, but nothing was out of the ordinary.

那天夜里，早就应该睡觉了，但我们这些孩子们仍然很清醒，在一起又玩了一会。但最终，我们还是都睡着了。不过，那天夜里对我来说是有点麻烦，老睡不熟，无缘无故的隔一段时间就醒来一次。在我第四次醒来时，觉得好像脚跟被戳了一下，接着我就醒了，我翻过身来，打量了一下房间，没发现什么异常的。
