House in the middle of nowhere.

My story begins with a bunch of us kids deciding that we wanted to throw a party. So we cruised gravel roads until we found a house that appeared to be abandoned, out in the middle of nowhere, with a junkyard right close by. My friends and I thought that this would be cool. We walked around in the house and went to the basement there was all kinds of great stuff we could use in this house such as chairs tables and even TV’s. We continued walking around this house and it had bedrooms and everything. The electricity worked and the central air was great. It seamed as though whoever lived here just left and didn’t look back. We didn’t think much of it. So we got everything we needed and set it up. We gathered all the people for our party and we started the music. It wasn't much of a party just like 6 or 7 of us. The music was kind of loud and everyone got scared of this house so they all decided that they wanted to sleep in my room. So I let them, and as we are sitting in there we hear a honk and a voice that says "turn it down" and we just thought that it was a car on the road or that someone might be there so we headed out onto the road and we couldn’t hear the music from the road. So we thought nothing of it and headed back into the house. We were all just chilling in the room and decided we were all going to go to bed. As we shut out the lights we heard footsteps upstairs and a sound as though something was being drug around on the floor. We all got scared again and were awake for a while and after we didn’t hear anything everyone went to bed except me and one other person we decided that we couldn't sleep. We were sitting in the room and from where I was sitting I could see out of the room into the kitchen the kitchen was across another room. As I was sitting there I saw something walk in front of the kitchen doorway and through the kitchen. I automatically thought someone was there and we were busted. So I headed into the kitchen to see who it was and when I got there, no one was there. To my left was the door outside as I was waiting for my friend who was using the bathroom. I saw something walk in front of the window past the door. I walked to the door and walked outside. Nothing there. So my friend and I left the door open and walked to the road and looked at the house. As we looked back at the house we noticed that there was someone standing in the window upstairs. We thought it was one of our other friends who might have woken up and went looking for us. So we ventured back into the house. The front door was closed and we clearly remember leaving it open. We went into the room where everyone was sleeping. They were all still sleeping. My friend and I decided we didn’t want to wake everyone up. We grabbed our chairs and sat in the room talking and listening to the radio. We were sitting there and the radio station went to static. We thought no big deal, most likely just the antenna. All of a sudden the static stopped and it was on a different station. The station was playing religious music. But the strange thing was, the dial had been turned to the other end of the dial from the station we were listening to. We thought that was really weird and it was time to wake everyone up. We packed everything and left. We are planning to throw another party there real soon because we just loved it.
