The door to enter the play room requires a key to get in and we needed permission from my aunt or uncle to get in

There is no other way to get into that room or the roof. We were the first ones in the play room that day and eveyone else was somewhere else in the house and Edgar and I were the only ones in the room

We found the paper and started our drawings when Edgar dared me to draw the numbers 666 and an inverted star

I felt wrong doing this as it was I guess "forbidden" since we were Catholics

But deep down I wanted to do it becuase it was taboo and let's face it, we all want to do things that we feel is forbidden

Within reason of course. Moments after I started the drawing we heard banging on the door that leads to the balcony

The door has two opaque windows on it but not opaque enough to block out light or any images on the other side

We saw a red hand slapping the window (Thus the title "Caught Red Handed") and we ran out

I mean we RAN the hell out of there

Since we knew we were the only ones in the room and no one could have possibly been on the balcony or have come from the roof we came to the conclusion that it was punishment for our supposed "sin". Anyone know why this could have happened? Also why did the hauntings stop so suddenly? They never called anyone to cleanse the house or never consulted a person of religious authority or psychic. 

Curtains to Kill For 

This took place in Tijuana, Mexico

When I was a baby, my mom and dad shared a house with my aunt because it was located in a kind of dangerous neighborhood for young people to live by themselves

They sticked with this house, however, because it was not an ugly house at all

Its decoration was very nice, my mom said it looked like the previous owners put a lot of effort and money to make it a great place to live

My mom felt a strange vibe, though, but she did not say anything because they often had family and friends visit and she didn't want to scare them off. After settling in the house and having everything in its place, my mom finally had the time to check every detail of the decoration

She soon realized that what looked like trees and flowers on the walls were really silhouettes of people making out or involved in other sexual activities

She didn't tell my dad or aunt because probably they were going to make fun of it, but then it slipped out in a conversation and they told her she was not wrong. After a few weeks, my other aunts started asking my mom if she could visit them instead of having them come because they felt something was going on in the house

My mom agreed, she knew they were right

One day while cleaning the house, my dad hit the wall and it felt like there was an empty space behind

He started ripping off the wallpaper and they found a small door

They opened it the next morning because it was almost night time and my mom was afraid of what could be inside it. The next morning they opened the door and there was a small closet, they did not find a dead body, a hidden treasure or something that made him rich, no

They found night gowns, old make-up, slippers, fantasy jewelry and other stuff

That's when it hit them, the house we were occupying was an "entertainment house" in the past

And even though this did not disturb them, they decided to move out after an evening when something scary happened

My mom got home and put me in my crib, she was tucking me in when she heard my aunt say "Diana, llegaste?" (meaning "Diana, you're home?) My mom replied and when she went to my aunt's room there was nobody there, she picked me up and waited for my aunt or dad to get home in the living room with the door opened and turned every light in the house on. After moving out, they were curious and did a little research

They found out that the house was previously owned by an old lady who ran a prostitution business

She hired someone to install a new set of curtains and when they were ready, the employees stabbed the lady and stashed her body in the basement

The rumor was that she had a chest full of money and her killers went after it

Her body was found by a prostitute who was the first one for 'work', according to the information given to my folks

The girl found the house completely trashed and not being able to find the lady in any of the rooms she went to the basement, that's when she made the gruesome discovery. All this information was given to my parents by a neighbor, the old man told them he was close friends with the murdered lady (I personally think they also sustained a business relationship).
