in the house with them oh yeah you don't want to have to wonder that you don't it's probably um on the like my top 10 list of things to not want to have to worry about yeah i want to go my whole life wondering not that yeah so since moving in that second week of january roger had only been able to enjoy the new house for a few days before he was back out on the road so when he finally got home in mid-february he was just eager to relax and enjoy the house

But from the moment he got home, he could tell that something was off with Carolyn.

She seemed very troubled.

That night, after the girls went to bed, he was like, what's going on?

Like, you seem super off.

And it took a little work, but eventually Carolyn did start to tell him about the noises that she'd been hearing and the more recent unshakable feeling that there was somebody in the house with them.

He told her that the light in the house was definitely strange and it even played tricks with his eyes, but it was probably just that.

But the more he talked, the more Carolyn realized that he didn't really understand what she was saying.

It wasn't just that she had an uncomfortable feeling like everybody gets from time to time.

It was a genuine feeling that there was actually somebody else there with her, watching her.

So it was obvious to Roger that Carolyn was upset and something had for sure frightened her.

But whether it was his Catholic upbringing or just that he hadn't had any experiences like that himself, he just couldn't bring himself to accept that anything was going on in the house.

It had to have been reasonable.

He insisted that she just was spending too much time alone, or maybe she was alone with the kids and their imaginations too much.

So throughout most of their ordeal in the house, this was kind of Roger's way of handling things.

According to Nickel, Roger eventually seemed to acquiesce, possibly to promote domestic harmony, but he never appears to have truly believed the claims from his wife and daughters.

Which is rude.

It seems like he was accusing her of aura farming.

yeah this haunting yeah he was saying your aura points have gone down a lot yeah so as winter turned to spring and then to summer the noises continued and that feeling of being watched would come over carolyn and the girls now every so often in time the area of the hallway that connected the kitchen and the dining room became the least comfortable place in the house the temperature inexplicably fluctuated wildly between hot and cold like

Super, super hot or absolutely freezing, see your breath cold.
