Summary
Sam never believed he was living in a haunted place—until the house behind his own started feeling occupied in a way he couldn’t explain. He rented a small unit behind an older couple’s home, where children with medical needs were sometimes cared for during short stays. The sounds, the late nights, the unfamiliar rhythms all made sense… until one winter, when those visits stopped.
That’s when the house began to feel different. Not louder. Not scarier. Just aware.
Sam started waking up at the same time every night. Objects shifted. Subtle sounds moved where no footsteps should be. And then came the laughter—soft, unmistakably young, and impossible to explain away. What followed wasn’t fear, but something harder to name: the sense that whatever remained wasn’t trying to frighten anyone… just to be noticed.
