Mom Puts Cameras In The Nursery After She Keeps Finding Scratches On Her Baby's Face

Heather Brough wasn't sure what to think when she saw fresh scratches on her baby's face one morning. She knew it had nothing to do with her, her fiance, or anybody who looks after the child. And that made the scratches even more concerning. So, to find out more, Heather put a camera in the nursery to monitor little Lily overnight. But when the anxious parents looked at the footage the next day, their worry turned into outright terror.

A Peaceful Life

This turn of events came like a bolt from the blue. At the time, Heather lived with her fiance, Joshua, and the young couple was thriving in their quiet hometown of Highland, Michigan. And, as a new mom, Heather was focused full-time on her one-year-old daughter, Lily. That's why the sudden appearance of the scratches was so upsetting.

A Horrifying Sight

Their life was about to become much less quiet, too. It all started when Heather went to greet her daughter after one of her naps. When the 25-year-old mom took her baby downstairs, she noticed a trio of nasty "purple scratches" on Lily's face. Where had they come from?

Something Was Off

Try as she might, Heather couldn't think of where Lily could have gotten the scratches overnight. She began to get upset, hopelessly repeating "what happened to you" to her baby girl. But the sight of her daughter was disturbing for another reason. You see, Heather had been feeling uncomfortable in the family home for quite a while now.

Eerie Noises

Because Heather had previously heard the sounds of footsteps or creaking doors in the house. "If I'm in the shower, I hear someone running up and down the steps," she later told The Scottish Sun. "I woke up to get ready for work one morning, and it felt like someone was choking me." But this latest development was something new – and even more terrifying.
