Summary

After sharing her terrifying childhood encounter with an unseen caller and a night of sleepwalking, Brenda calls back with another haunting tale—this time from the neighborhood where she grew up… a place built over what she later learned was an old cemetery. From an early age, she and her sister refused to sleep with the door or closet open, sensing something unseen lurking beyond. One summer night, that fear took form: a woman in a long black dress and straight black hair standing silently in the doorway. What began as a mistaken identity quickly shifted into bone-chilling terror as the figure stepped into her room, the air turning icy. No amount of pinching or counting could wake her from what she hoped was a dream. Only desperate prayer brought relief. Years later, her mother would admit the truth—Brenda wasn’t crazy. She had a gift… and a way to keep the darkness from showing itself again.
