Kim and her Husband John had just bought a place in the country. The property had been in Kim's family for four generations the current house was built in the early nineteen twenties by her grandparents. Kim's grandfather was a very successful farmer and business man in the area at that time. He was considered well off financially and was looked at as a leader in the community and the church. Most of people in the community considered him to be a powerful, respectable upstanding citizen.
The house sat on thirty acres of land about a quarter mile back off the gravel road that went to town. It was roughly five miles from town not to far in bad weather if you needed groceries or something from the store. The house had a few old out buildings sitting on the property with it. The place very secluded the property was surrounded by large maple and oak trees it was beautiful place. It was like living in our own county park.
Kim didn't know a lot of the family history. She did remember her grandmother but couldn't really remember her grandfather and had no recollection of her great grandparents. Her mother nor her grandmother talked much about her grandfather or her great grandparents.
Kim and John had been living in the house for a few months fixing it up and doing some small renovations in their spare time. John's job required some travel and that he had to be gone some. That left Kim alone in the house at night this is one aspect of living in the old two story farm house she didn't like, it was spooky at night living out in the couny alone.
John wasn't gone a lot or for very long periods of time, but the few nights a month that he was gone Kim didn't like being in the big farm house by herself at night.
At first it wasn't so bad but then after a couple of months the dreams started. Weird sexual dreams some of the dreams were obscene and perverted. Very upsetting and disturbing. Kim wasn't sleeping very well most nights now. She was afraid to to fall asleep at night because of the dreams that came in the early hours of the morning. A few times she had been awakened by noises she thought she had heard outside. She found herself getting up out of bed and looking out the upstairs bedroom window some nights only to see a door on one of the outbuildings blowing in the wind banging on the side of the building.
At first she didn't mention anything about what she thought she was hearing or the dreams that she had been having. When she finally did say something she was told it was just her imagination and not to worry about it.
Another month went by then one night when John was on the road she thought she heard a door slam shut. Kim got herself out of bed and walked to the window. When she peered through the glass she saw that a dense heavy fog blanketed the yard, she was vaguely able to see some dried leaves blowing across the lawn as she stared out the window through the fog.
Then out of the corner of her eye she suddenly thought she saw something moving. She strained her eyes and saw what looked like two women moving across the lawn through the fog. It looked like the figures were coming from the kitchen door at the back of the house. They were moving across the yard towards the little building that used to be the out house.
The women were wearing long flannel night shirts the one woman was doubled over holding her stomach and hurrying in front of the other woman who was holding what looked like a lantern. The woman holding her stomach and walking in front of the other woman looked to be younger and a little smaller in size both women had long blonde hair just like Kim's. Kim stood staring through the glass thinking how both women looked liked women she had seen in family photos.
When Kim squinted her eyes to try and see through the fog again they were gone. The door on the out house was open and blowing back and forth in the breeze smacking the side of the little building. She yawned and shrugged it off as her imagination messing with her and crawled back into bed.
The next morning when she woke up she felt groggy and then remembered her dream, but it didn't seem like a dream it seemed real. Kim remembered getting out of bed and looking outside, then she remembered what she thought she had seen. Kim shrugged it off and made her way down stairs where she had a cup of coffee and something to eat then made her way outside.
As she walked around the yard she made her way over by the old out house as she stood looking at the old building she thought what would it hurt to look inside there couldn't possibly be anything in there it hadn't been used in years. As she reached out to pull the door open she stopped and kicked the side of the old building a couple of times just in case, what if rat or squirrel had made a home in there?
She pulled the door open and instantly noticed the smell it didn't smell old and musty, there was a fant fresh smell like it had been used recently, she carefully looked over the plank with the hole in it that was used for the seat. As she bent forward and looked down into the hole in the ground she gasped and quickly pulled her head back, then slowly leaned forward and looked through the hole again making sure of what she thought she had seen. She grimaced her face and wrinkled her up her nose. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, there was a loose pile of wet smelly diarrhea laying at the bottom of the hole. The out house had been used recently. The mess laying at the bottom of the hole was disgusting she hurriedly backed out and shut the door. Confused by what she had just seen she went back to the house and started her chores for the day. John would be home this afternoon and she would ask him about it.
John walked in the house about three thirty that afternoon as soon he entered the kitchen Kim hugged him and then stepped back saying, "Did you use the old outhouse?"
"What are you talking about Kim?" He replied half shocked by his wife's question.
Kim stood staring at her husband not sure what to do or say now, this wasn't the answer she was expecting or hoping to hear!!
John stood looking at his wife not sure what to think about the confused look on her face. He reached out and slowly took a hold of her hand, then gently led her towards the back door.
Both Kim and John walked out back and down to the outhouse. John was more than a little surprised and confused by what he saw. He had no answers for what he was seeing in the bottom of the pit. He tried to rationalize it by telling his wife it was from a animal or something. But in his own mind he knew it wasn't from a animal, that it looked like it had definitely came from a human being.
Kim not knowing what to say, let it go and was just happy John was home for a few days.
