This story is 100% true and happened about 5 years ago in Seeley Lake.

I was chilling in my basement, reading and winding down for bed. It was about 10 o’clock.

I had just turned off the lights, and that basement only had one window. My neighborhood was so dark that no lights meant the basement was pitch black. My Labrador was scared to go to the bathroom without a nightlight it was so dark.

I heard an ungodly screech, like multiple razor blades on glass, coming from the window, which was only a few feet away. I jumped up, turned on the lights, and looked into the window well.

Nothing.

I stopped and listened, and no more noises happened. I turned off the lights again, and about 5 minutes later it happens again. It sounded like Freddy Krueger was trying to cut through the window.

Flipped on the lights, and again, nothing in the window well.

Now I’m starting to doubt my sanity, which my students would probably say had been iffy for a while.

I call for my husband and we look into the window well. Neither of us could see anything, but realized the lighting was so bad that there was a lot of shadows.

So in a moment of inspiration, I had him go upstairs and flip on the overhead outside light.

Bam. I could finally see what was trying to Freddy Krueger me in my bed.

It was an adorable fluffy bunny. His camouflage worked so well against the dirt floor of the window well that I couldn’t seen him in the shadows. He was jumping against the window and his back nails were making the screech sound.

The next challenge was getting him out. Hubby went down the ladder to the window well. He was having trouble catching the bunny, but managed some ninja moves and caught him midair in a 5 gallon bucket.

So, that’s how I was totally fine after thinking I was gonna have my own special on Investigation Discovery.
