It was March 18, 2005 around 1 in the morning and Vince was on the computer talking to his friend Matthew about what went down in school that day. As he chatted over AOL, he kept on hearing this weird sound. It was like a tone he never heard before. He personally though it was just the house. He had lived in a 2 floor house with his grandmother living right below them. It could have been anything, so like anyone else he just ignored it. At the time high speed was expensive and he was still using dial up and out of the blew he was disconnected but it was nothing out of the ordinary until that noise came back. It was louder then what it was before and he notice it was coming from the ceiling. As it got louder the lights started to dim down and then the sound just cut off and at that very moment everything in the house turned off.
It’s dark in the house and his mother Maria was asleep on the other side of the house. Every room was connected to each other by a narrow hallway. They had lived there for almost 5 years so far, so he naturally knew his way around the house. He heads to his mother to tell her the power went out because he has no idea how to turn it back on. He calls her out at the entrance of the room. She asked what the problem was and he replied back that the power is out. As she started to get up the noise came back and stronger then ever. As it got more toned out this light appeared and came through the windows. They take up the entire wall, 4 all together and very old fashion with the use of ropes to hold them up. The light is blinding and is actually brighting the room white.
They look at each other probably thinking the same thing, what the hell is going on. She asked him to go look out the window and see what the hell it is. In his head he’s saying to himself, I’ve seen enough movies to know you never look out the window when something that bright is coming from the other side of it. Ever heard of beam me up Scotty, so naturally he told her to go check it out and she was closer to the windows anyways. The noise was getting so loud they could feel the vibration through the floor. At the very moment she was about to push the shades to the side, the noise got intense and just as it appeared, it disappeared in a heartbeat with the light just vanishing.
Standing there in the dark, scared, confused, and just trying to understand what just happened. The lights eventually turned on a few seconds later. Vince heads toward the window to look out and see if there’s anything to explain what they saw. He pulls the shades up and opens the window and looks out. He sees nothing, the street is empty, there’s no car to be seen and he even looked at the transformer across the street. Nothing was sparking and he didn’t see any smoke so what could it have been. His mother remarks it could have been a car with their high beams on but then again why would a car be facing vertical to the street. So they closed the window and they just stood there clueless to what just happened.
His mother goes back to bed without any problems but he had a problem going to bed, all he could think about was that light and what could it have been. He stood up until 4 in the morning just sitting in his bed thinking about it, until he eventually passed out but there was more to come. He woke up around 9 in the mornings and had an empty stomach, so he went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat but all of a sudden the noise from last night came back but slightly more potent and stronger. It got so loud he felt his legs giving away; he fell to the floor out of fear while still looking up at the ceiling. The lights were flickering intensely and then in that moment the sound faded away and the lights went back to normal. He got up slowly not sure what to do. In his head he was thinking, should he run, duck, or just stay still. So in a fast pace, he went back to his room and just stood there trying to watch the door with his back to the wall in his bed. Sadly he fell asleep again and woke up at 2 in the afternoon confused as hell. He goes to his mother who had just finished telling her perspective of what happen last night to his grandmother over the phone. She tells him that last night his grandmother was awake and in the living room at the time the light appeared which made it more confusing since her living room is directly below his mother’s bed room, so the light should have been going through her window as she was in the living room but it didn’t. She even said her lights never turned off.
He never bothered to tell his mother about the sound appearing again a few hours after what they saw. He’s thinking it’s pointless to bring it up after someone else in the house that was one floor below didn’t see or experience the same thing they did. So now to this day, 4 years later he still wonder what it was. He thinks what if I looked out the window and saw something unexplainable. He will never say it was extra-terrestrial or a spaceship or anything sci-fi because he never actually saw anything. All he heard was a sound and saw a blinding light that he can’t explained.
