Midnight has passed, and in the stillness of these hours, the hauntings are never silent.

After midnight.

Angela had spent nearly 15 years selling houses, and over time she had learned that most real estate transactions were really about

endings. People rarely sold homes during the happiest moments of their lives. More often,

she found herself helping families through divorces, relocations, financial hardships, and deaths.

Empty houses often felt as though they were still holding onto the people who once lived there.

Then she took the listing on Willow Creek Road.

The owner, a woman named Eleanor Hayes, had passed away three months earlier after a long illness.

According to her daughter, Eleanor had lived there alone for nearly 40 years.

She had raised two children in the house, watched grandchildren grow up there,

and rarely spent more than a few days away from it at a time. Everyone Angela spoke with seemed to

describe Eleanor the same way. She loved that house. Neighbors mentioned it. Family members mentioned it.
