Thankfully, it was a false alarm …his phone battery had died, not him.
I realize it’s been 8 hours. Just wanted to let you all know, I’m okay.
The story didn’t end there, but my phone battery did, and the charger was in my car OUTSIDE – so, you know, physically impossible to retrieve…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
So, this is what happened next.
Before my phone died, I spoke to my wife and told her I was sure I’d be fine.
And then I took a video… of the bedroom ceiling…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
I’m lying in bed, and the ceiling is making this sound… and then my phone dies… pic.twitter.com/wU7NHvXoCz

I’m lying there staring at the ceiling, which is apparently counting down to my death, when the wind chimes rattle across the porch floor, and then something very big runs across the roof…

I’m assuming it was a large possum, and definitely not a hellbeast.
Eventually, exhausted, I close my eyes…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
And I wake up to a BANG!
I’m instantly more awake than I’ve ever been before. I’m on my feet, but I don’t remember getting out of bed…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
Someone is BASHING ON THE FRONT DOOR…
— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
Don’t open it, Tom …
I’m standing motionless, in my underwear, ignoring the still-ticking ceiling, trying not to breathe too loud, trying not to make a single sound. I AM A PETRIFIED NINJA…
— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
The bashing starts again…
Without stopping to do anything sensible that would make me feel less vulnerable, like put on pants, I walk slowly to the front door, and there’s a large shadow on the venetian blinds. A very big person is standing on the porch of this remote cabin…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
The bashing starts again.
I, eloquently, call out, “WHAT?!”
The bashing stops…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
I see the guy shift and he calls out.
“Package”…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
Yeah, right. That’s exactly what a murderer would say.
After the night I’ve had l, there’s no way I’m opening the door to a stranger delivering a package to a remote cabin…
Also, I’m in my underwear.
Also, I can’t open the door because I frantically locked it during the night and I have no idea what I’ve done with the keys…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
He calls out, “Can you sign for it?”
After a way-too-long-and-awkward-pause, I say, “Um… No?”
…— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) March 26, 2019
Helpfully, I call out, “Just leave it, mate!”
“I can’t really…”
“JUST LEAVE IT!”

So, what are we thinking?

And that’s the end of Tom’s tale – we may never know what’s in the box. Looks like shoes, to be honest.
His creepy anecdote had everyone gripped.

Day 5. Tom has seen his doppelganger twice now and refuses to leave the cabin. He sees no harm in it. Why would an evil version of myself hurt me he asks…#NotTodayGhosts pic.twitter.com/p8MxQQBT9U

If we don't hear from you soon…
We already know what happened. pic.twitter.com/mJhvJt1K43

Writer, Kelly Thompson, wasn’t sure why he’d gone there in the first place.
WTF. I am such a chicken. If I was trying to get away for some quiet time so I could concentrate on work it would be to a luxury hotel with good room service and a big bathtub for “relaxing and clearing my mind” not a woodsy murder cabin. pic.twitter.com/3I2jqanayN

We’re with Kelly.
