Over 40 years ago, Anne and her friend were having a peaceful and enjoyable Halloween night—until the unexplained moaning and laughing began. Four decades later, Anne can recallthat night of terror as if it happened yesterday.Ghosts and Supernatural CreaturesSome people believe that October 31st, Halloween orAll Hallow's Eve, is a time when the space that separates our reality from the dimension of ghosts and the supernatural is at its thinnest.That is why this time of year is given to the obsession and experience with spirits, hauntings, unnatural creatures, and other elementsthat remain unexplained in our reality.It Started on Halloween DayIn 1973, when Anne was 16, her younger sister, dad, and she had just moved into a new house that Anne's dad built in a remote area near Vadnais Heights, Minnesota. In this area, there was only one other house a few lots away from them, when they moved in on Halloween.Anne's dad had to leave town for a little while and gave her sister and Anne a key with theinstructions to move their stuff in. None of Anne's dad's belongings were there yet, except for some furniture. Anne got ready to go to a costume party with her older sister, who didn't live with them at the time. She picked Anne up at about 7 p.m. just as it began to snow.The Halloween PartyAnne met a friend at the party, Jay, and was enjoying his company so much that she decided to continue the conversation with him at her house.They got there at about 1:30 a.m. after realizing they didn'twin thecostume contest for Anne dressed up as a witch.Anne and her sister had their own domain downstairs, as the house was huge with two kitchens and more. Jay and Anne were sitting downstairs in the large living room that had windows all around, right at ground level.Where Anne and Jay were sitting, they could see the driveway and the front door. They had one lamp on, and the light at the front door was shining and illuminating the driveway and the room.It was about 2:30 a.m., and they were sitting on a love seat chatting away. At no time did they discuss anything Halloween related, like the supernatural or paranormal.The VoiceSuddenly, they heard a voice. First, Anne noticed the tone ofthe voice was like no other she had ever heard before. Then, Anne noticed what the voice was vocalizing. To her absolute horror, this voice was moaning in a pathetic and horrible way, filled with loud pain and suffering.Anne remembers marveling at the tone of the voice. It was so different and seemed to come from everywhere at once. Then, just when she thought she couldn't take anymore, it went from this horrible moan to this insane, maniacal laughter. It was absolutely horrifying. Then, it went back down to a moan, back to a laugh, then back to a moan again, before stopping.Jay and Anne looked at each other wide-eyed and mouths open. "It has to be a Halloween trick someone is playing on us," Anne said."Yeah," Jay replied, hesitatingly."Let's search around and see if we can find out what's going on," Anne suggested.Jay agreed, so they both wenttoward the hallway. Jay took the stairs up to the foyer, and Anne continued down the hallway to her little sister's room. Anne opened her door and noticed that her sister was truly asleep. Anne woke her up anyway and asked her if she knew anything about what was going on, or if she heard it. Anne's sister was irritated with her for waking her up but said she heard nothing, which was mystifying considering the volume.Anne went back to the hallway, toward the living room, as Jay was coming down the stairs. He was as white as a sheet. "I heard it again up there," he said."No way," Anne replied. "I wasn't that far away. I should have heard it, too," Anne said. Neither of them found anything to explain it.
