the blood tree

We moved out of a house because of an experience my little brother had there. I was eight and my brother was six, and at that time we shared a room in the basement of the house. I woke up to him absolutely shrieking about a blood tree. He just kept repeating the words 'blood tree' over and over again. He was shaking, and he had wet himself.

I remember being very very scared. And also that no one treated it as a bad dream. My parents brought us into their room and we all stayed up until it got light. Then we pretty much gave notice and left within a week.

As a side note my dad says that when we were moving out he found my little brother under the stairs, pooping on the carpet-he thinks it was some kind of six year old 'fuck you house!.'

I have asked my parents why they took what was a potential night terror so seriously. They both said on separate occasions that some really awful things had been happening and that was kind of the last straw.
