New years, 2001 i was 10. My mother and i and my 2 brother Aaron and Anthony along with my mom's boyfriend kyle, were all staying in our 2 story house in kansas city missouri. For the most part everything was going as planned, we were having fun listening to music and watching t.v, having our own little " family thing " going on..well both of them had work the next day so they decided to shut down our party a little early this year. it was 11;59pm, i know this because the circuits to our house had went out and had the clocks stuck on that time...our house was probably built in the 1920's, it was an old antuiqe house. and the power box in the house wasn't up to date with the rest of the houses so when we had too many things on in the house, the power would go out...and it did...the only person there who would be able to go into the basement and reset the fuses was kyle, my mom's boyfriend..being it was his first time there my mom gave the job of accompaning him and show him where the fuse box was, well, we both walked through the dark hallway in the kitchen where the basement and the ground came together...kyles goes downstairs..me already scared, decide not to go with him...i wait at the top of the stairs for a few seconds... i get even more scared so i decide to run back to my mom and brothers and lay down...we wait about 2 minutes and all of a sudden we here a loud cry for help.."open the door you little shit" says my moms boyfriend...my mom begins to yell at me saying i locked kyles in the basement...she thought i had locked him in there and ran back to her to make it seem like it wasn't me..what she failed to understand was that i was waaaaay to scared to wait for him to come back up so i came back and layed down with her...finally i work up enough courage and go unlocked the basement door so kyle could come back up. till this day no one knows who had locked kyles in the basement that night...we will probably never know...buy there are still rumors going around the neighborhood kids and elders saying that back in the 1920's when the house was first built, a man and his wife had encountered the same thing...yet, in theirs strories...people ended up dead...
