Summary

From the outside, it was the definition of normal: a comfortable family home on a quiet street where kids rode bikes and neighbors waved across manicured lawns. But inside, from the moment she could walk the hallway alone, she knew this house was not like the others. It didn’t just creak or settle. It watched.

Her first memory isn’t of a nightmare — it’s of a board game playing itself. At five years old, she sat on her bed and watched a Monopoly piece slide across the board, dice roll, money taken… all by a player she couldn’t see. As she grew, the house evolved with her. Scratching inside the walls. A wardrobe that shook every night. Dolls that mysteriously moved from their shelves to the floor by morning.

Then came the out-of-body moment: going downstairs to speak to her father… only to find herself already asleep in bed. Years later, puzzle books completed in someone else’s handwriting, a TV remote thrown out a closed bathroom window, a scream only she heard, and a child’s voice whispering “Hello” in the dark.

When her no-nonsense mother finally heard that same voice at 3 a.m., followed by a soft, eerie laugh, denial died. This wasn’t pipes. This wasn’t imagination. This was something intelligent. Patient. Personal.

And one night, when the laughter stopped and the presence leaned in close to her ear, it finally spoke the words that changed everything: “I see you.”

0:00.0	Midnight has passed, and in the stillness of these hours, the hauntings are never silent.
0:08.8	This is Real Ghost Stories Online, after midnight.
0:15.1	She grew up in a house that never felt entirely still, not haunted the way movies show it,
0:23.1	no floating chairs, no faces in mirrors, but in a quieter, more deliberate way. A presence that stayed just out of sight,
0:29.5	threading itself through her memories from the time she was strong enough to walk the hallway
0:33.4	alone. The house wasn't old, it wasn't draped in ivy or rotting wood. From the outside,
0:40.0	it was the kind of place where neighbors waved across lawns, where kids rode bikes until the
0:45.1	streetlights flicked on. But from the moment she was aware enough to form memories, she knew the
0:51.5	house paid attention. It reacted, it felt. Her earliest solid memory was
0:57.9	a board game. She and her brother were only five and six playing Monopoly far too young to
1:03.4	understand the rules. After a few minutes, he got bored as little boys do and ran downstairs,
1:09.3	leaving her alone in her small cluttered room at the
1:11.7	back of the house. She remembers sitting cross-legged on the bed when the piece opposite hers
1:16.1	began to move. Not a taff, not a vibration. The token slid across the board and stopped. Then the
1:24.8	dice rolled, bouncing against the cardboard as if guided by an actual
1:29.3	hand. She watched the game continue. Money taken from the bank, properties counted, although no one sat
1:35.9	across from her. She wasn't frightened. At that age, she accepted things as they were. If someone
1:43.6	wanted to play with her, she let them.
1:46.6	Years later, her mother told her she used to sit up late into the night, talking to someone,
1:52.0	laughing, whispering, but she herself barely remembered any of it.
1:57.4	As she got older, the house didn't stop.
2:00.7	It just changed. When she was eight, she house didn't stop. It just changed.
