I’m Staying In A Cabin And Need Help

I’m staying in a cabin and need help. Please! What should I do?

My friends and I are staying in a cabin in the middle of Branson, MO. We’re not in the woods or anything and this is a very touristy area.

The second night, while one friend and I were upstairs watching YouTube videos, another friend was downstairs in her bed trying to go to sleep. Ana and I (watching videos) heard footsteps followed by a very loud, distinguishable knock on our upstairs bedroom door. We yelled, “Come in!” Thinking it was Meredith downstairs. We opened the door to see no one there. When nothing happened, we texted her and asked if she came up and knocked. She said no and we were freaked but just decided to go to bed.

The next morning we told our friends from other cabins. To make light of the situation, we decided to call this ghost by Peyton because it is a gender neutral name. We wanted something to call him or her so that we could talk about it without being weird or uncomfortable. We apologized for calling it that but we didn’t know what to call it. We wanted a way to acknowledge its presence.

During the day, Meredith and our friend Sarah went to Mere’s bathroom and turned the light on. Then they went to the kitchen bc they heard steps on the stairs (no one was up there). When they went back, the light was turned off. Meredith decided to sleep with us the next night. The next night (last night)  around midnight, Ana heard high pitch clicking while mere and I slept. She tried to wake me up to see if I heard it but I didn’t. She said it had a rhythm sort of like 1-2-3-click-1-2-3-click. We just went back to sleep. Around 3, Meredith shot up in bed because she was EXTREMELY HOT and she never gets hot. When she caught her breath, she heard banging on the bedroom door. She decided to go to sleep.

Around 6, I woke up and couldn’t go back to bed. I stayed in the same position the entire time and didn’t move. I was having dreams but I was still awake. Like lucid dreaming. Every “dream” was the same type of situation. Someone was telling me to get up and go somewhere. It was so vivid. I almost did until I realized it wasn’t actually happening. I then said “No, stop” in my head and it would change to another scenario of people telling me to go somewhere. The only thing that kept me in reality was Ana’s phone going off. It finally stopped when Mere woke up and I asked what time it was and she said 7:02.

I also had a dream that a family died in the cabin and they were stabbed. We were out all day today and when we got home, we decided to pack our things and go stay with Sarah in her cabin. We’ve been here for maybe an hour and Sarah came to us scared saying that the locked door upstairs was open and you can’t unlock it from our side. We have to go back tomorrow to clean up in the morning and we’re going to have a ton of people cone with us to help clean and “protect” us.

We’re terrified teenage girls and we don’t know what to do. PLEASE HELP. I don’t know if this will make a difference but we all love singing and sang really loud every day and night. Also, we had a lot of friends over playing games last night.
