View out one of the upstairs windows.

This doll was right above our heads where we were sleeping, creepy as fuck.

The upstairs. Its pretty cobwebby. Notice the tarot cards surrounding the door.

We ripped out the "shelves" on the wall there. Its a lot less cramped now.

The forest

Its dark.

My boyfriend and I keep hearing whispering in the woods at night.
Makes it very difficult to go outside and pee.
Its not bad during the day, but at night it gets weird.

The first night.

Last night was the first night and it was ROUGH.
No generator, no hot water, no flashlight!
What was I thinking?
We had to stumble in the pitch black night down the long path from the car to the house, all; "Do you see the house? I don't see the house-" -cue loud rustling in the woods- "OH GOD WHAT WAS THAT? I DONT WANT TO DIE."

We finally reached the house and discovered that our two cats had met another cat (that apparently lives there. Its a huge black and white cat, with a loud meow that sounds creepily like a baby crying). and were in the process of growing and yowling and generally making some seriously messed up noises at each other.

Which continued.
On...and on...and on... late into the night, until my boyfriend stormed down the stairs (That we had barricaded with all sorts of stuff, since we discovered that the back door did not close properly and we were living in fear of some little wild critter creeping into the house and eating our faces). grabbed our cats and forced them under the blankets, where they slept. For the entire night.
(I woke up with a good mouthful of cathair, let me tell you).
We fell asleep with the sharp cold stinging our noses and the sound of wind against trees rustling in our ears.
I dreamed of ravens. Weird coincidence?

Today we bought a WORKING generator. And the hot water heater is being shipped to us right now.
I did take some pictures, but AGAIN my camera died as soon as I got it on the land. I guess I need a new battery.
Its all very strange and last night I almost chickened out and said I couldn't do it. But I figure this shack is technically my house, so I had better man up and tough it out. It has a lot of potential.

-Oh I almost forgot, last night my boyfriend and I saw two weird flashes of light in the woods while we were looking out the windows upstairs.
I tried to recreate them, thinking that they were just a reflection of a candlelight in the glass of the window, but had no luck.
Just two, blink. Blink. Sharp and bright as stars.

(Pictured above, is the road leading to my house).

A bit of a setback...

So we have not yet spent our first night out there. On our last day of moving, it snowed!

Full-on. Cold, white, fluffy, unique bastards, falling from the sky! Madness.

We made it up to the house once, but almost got stuck. So we decided not to chance it and ended up holing up in a hotel for the past three days while we finished moving our things out there.

Tomorrow night-barring any crazy weird circumstances-we should be staying out there.

Also we can't get the generator started for some reason, so our first night looks like it's going to be cold.
