How did the take-out place have power? :O
Could have been in an area not hit by the outage.
One night we had a massive power outage, but some areas still have small amounts of electric flow.
I just remembered. In the same hallway to my garage one night I was in the bathroom (I sense a motif) and I heard someone outside of the door. As if they were standing there waiting. Freaked the hell out of me. I opened the door and no one was there. Also, it was 1 in the morning and I was wide awake. Now its time to go all Haunted collector on you all. So the guy who used to live here, the garage was his, no one was allowed to park inside of it except him. That is possible why that area of the house is so damn creepy. Oh, I forgot to mention, we got the house because that same guy died in a motorcycle accident. Everytime I walk in that hallway, I get the feeling that I'm not alone. Every time. Its loving scary.
