The Thing That Lived Upstairs by LaVone C. Hicks

This is a true story of the scariest thing that ever happened in the author's childhood. Movement was being heard from the locked upstairs bedroom. When it began to descend down the hallway stairs, the little girl becomes terrified. Cries out to her exhausted mother seemed to be unfruitful. What's a little girl to do when late in the night she begins hearing noises in the locked upstairs bedroom? When it begins to descend down the stairs with a heavy kathump, kathump, kathump, Vone becomes terrified. As it enters a whole through the door and comes closer, her cries out to her exhausted mother seems to be fruitless.
