I used to be afraid of going down into the basement when I lived with my parents.
It was genuinely bad when I was super young.
I remember when the people I was with and I first moved into that old house, I thought there was something in the basement. There was an old gas gas furnace down there as well as everytime that thing would engage, it would paralyze me with fear. My parents were consistently trying to send me down there to either get the laundry baskets or sweep the floor down there. I would get in trouble if I didn’t go into the basement, so I had to face my fear. Even when I was older, I still felt frightened. My father was saying that the people I was with and I could add a modern room down there as well as I could live in the basement, but I instantaneously said no to that idea. There was no way I would stay down there, as well as I didn’t like the air quality in the basement either. So I was able to keep my room as well as eventually I was happy when I moved out. Even though I moved into a lousy apartment, it felt so much better than being in that home as well as having to frequently go down into the basement. It wasn’t like I was attacked by a ghost or anything, but I still consistently assume creeped out when going into that basement. Even to this day when I go to visit my parents, my mother will correctly ask if I can grab a few things from the basement. I know that’s why I don’t like going to see that much as well as they still have the same old gas gas furnace that’s so creepy! I wish they would call the HVAC corporation as well as go for a modern HVAC system already.
