Cat Stares at Oven, Cop Can’t Believe What’s Inside

Old houses come with their own quirks, bringing some unexpected occurrences to the families shifting in. Yet, the charm and elegance of living in a grand structure are usually enough to compensate for little things like a few leaky pipes. It’s all part of the package and experience when you dwell in such a unique abode.

When the Baxter family packed up and settled into their old family estate, they understood that a period of adjustment was inevitable. However, what they didn’t anticipate was the wave of inexplicable events that were about to cast a shadow over the allure of their new abode, spinning their everyday lives into an unexpected whirlwind of mystery.

Meet the Baxters

For nearly 20 years, Andrew and Olivia Baxter have been bound by the joyous ties of marriage. Their delightful family includes their 14-year-old little girl, Maisie, and their pet cat, affectionately named Benji. Their residence for the majority of their marriage, a span of 15 years, has been England. However, it has been decided that now is the time for Andrew to journey back to the place of his birth, Charlotte, North Carolina.

When his granny Evangeline passed away, she left him a large house in the Charlotte suburbs. It was the place where his family roots were and he was thrilled to go back. But what no one in the family knew was that this move would turn their peaceful life into a terrifying nightmare.

New Home

They landed in their new residence in Charlotte during the cool but sunny January. Having come all the way from their previous home across the sea in England, they now welcomed the task of unwrapping and settling in with all the items they transported from the English home turf.

Andrew’s grandma’s house was truly magnificent, with sharp eaves and pristine white pillars. It had been vacant ever since she had moved to a nursing home during her last years, and now, the Baxters were eager to infuse new vigor into this old architectural beauty. But they had no slightest hint that this historic house already had some inhabitants.

Grandma’s Stove

While getting to know their new dwelling, the Baxters were taken aback to see that much of Evangeline’s belongings were left untouched, even the old, wood-burning range was still there. Andrew recalled the lavish, scrumptious meals she used to prepare in that enormous oven, and it almost felt as if the delightful aroma of her previous cooking was still lingering in the air.

The old stove had been sitting untouched for many years. Andrew and Olivia had the thought to put in a new, modern-style oven right away, and maybe think about bringing the old stove back to its former glory after they had settled into their new home. If they had taken a peek into the old stove, they might have reconsidered what they planned for the future.

Noises in the Night

In the initial days after moving into her new home, Maisie found drifting off to sleep in her new upstairs room nearly impossible. The house was hardly quiet, with the sounds of creaking, rustling, and thumping echoing through the halls. More chillingly, on occasion, she thought she even heard the eerie sound of low growling resonating from somewhere within the house.

Despite pulling her cozy blanket all the way up and burying her head beneath her pillow, Maisie couldn’t ignore the strange sounds around her. Her pet cat, Benji, cuddled up next to her, offering her some comfort. Yet, even Benji seemed bothered by the unusual noises. This led Maisie to question if there were hidden secrets within her house, secrets that perhaps only Benji was aware of.
