Toward the end of October, the strange things started happening. It began innocent enough. Daniel or Renae would wake each night claiming they heard voices under their beds.
Robert would get up and ease their fears. He would take his magical spray bottle and spritz it all around the bed until the children could no longer hear the voices. Then he would hug them and tuck them back into bed so they could get a good night rest. The next day, he and Emma would have whispered conversations over breakfast. They tried to talk low enough that the children wouldn't hear them but they couldn't hide their worried glances.
