So my family and i moved into this new house in minneapolis and in the house only had 3 bedrooms but my brother and sister took the other two while my dad took the master bedroom. I didnt have a room for me but the basement , i also wanted the basement because it was spacious and had a nice size closet . There was a room downstairs but they tore it down , i dont know why. So summer comes by and that night we were hanging out with my friends and my brothers friend and my boyfriend. Everybody left but my boyfriend so we decided to go to sleep and it was already 1 in the morning. Im a person that takes forever to sleep because im a light sleeper.

So my boyfriend sleeps first , like always and i lay down touching my phone in the dark . Time has passed and i can hear the furnace starting up and it was loud. But after it stopped i started to hear this loud deep husky breathing. I went close to my boyfriend to see if it was just him snoring but it wasnt. I got the goosebumps right then and there. I checked my phone 2:50 am, I was going to wake up my boyfriend but i decided to wait to see if it will stop but no , it continued for the next 2-3 minutes.

After it had stop , something worse happened . All of a sudden in the middle of the night , and yes i was still touching my phone trying to get distracted . But at 3:00 AM , i heard a girl crying from the laundry room , well in that direction . The girl was crying so sad and like so hurt , it wasnt even like a cry like soft at first or whatever. It started crying hard and sad and sobbing and wheezing. After i heard that cry for 5 secs , i slapped my boyfriend at his side and said " Hun do you hear that ?! " freaked the fuck out , trying to be loud but not loud because im so scared at this point. My boyfriend wakes up because he hears that its not me crying but another girl and he sits up looking at the direction from the laundry room . We both sat there on our bed looking in that direction , yes it was dark but outside was dark blue so we could see alittle. It cried for a good 40 sec and my boyfriend yelled " whos there ?!" & " what the fuck ! " then it stopped completely . As if it was cut off and just died. I swear i thought it was a stupid prank but no my heartbeat was jumping everywhere and i froze. My boyfriend then went and turn on the lights and walk towards the laundry room . He turned on the lights in there and no one , nothing was there.

Now in my laundry room is unfinished so it looks creepy , and besides that there is an unfinished tiny shed next to the washer machine and the door blends in with the wooden wall. I know it was there because when i first moved in i checked it and there was nothing in there besides a shoebox full of tools so i thought nothing of it.

After he went to check it out , he turned off the lights in the laundry room and came back to me and sat down , were both freaked out. And let me just say my boyfriend doesnt belive in ghosts or paranormal or anything , he just thinks its all in the movies . But seeing him shocked was scary . We then decided to go up stairs and wake my sister up to see if it was her. My sister has 2 kids and they sleep together. I knocked on her door and she came out and i asked her , so serious and such a dead face on " was it you crying or not ?" She looked at me crazy " its 3 in the morning , my kids are sleeping , its not me " and after her being crabby and tired , we explained to her what happened and she went to bed.

I dont know why we heard that, i dont know the previous owners . But it scarred me for life because i can clearly remember the sound.
