Summary

On this episode, we dig into a haunting from Woonsocket, Rhode Island—a city with a past steeped in the remnants of the American industrial age. A cramped family home becomes the epicenter of something deeply unsettling, divided between a playful spirit below and a sinister presence above. What begins with laughter in the basement slowly spirals into something far more disturbing, especially for the women who dare to stay the night.  

As we unravel the first-hand account of a man still living in that very house, we explore the psychological fractures caused by repeated encounters, and a lingering question that chills the core: What happened between the girl in the basement... and the man who won’t stop staring from the doorway?
