Summary

Tom recounts his time running a country store near a Civil War battlefield in the early 2000s. While living in the trailer behind the store, Tom began to experience a series of strange and eerie events—crutches falling on their own, a radio mysteriously turning on, and waking up at 3:33 AM every night. But it was the night he woke up unable to breathe and saw a shadow move across his room that truly terrified him. As he reflects on these unsettling occurrences, Tom wonders if they’re connected to an unexpected find while metal detecting near the old battlefield—a pristine Civil War officer’s button. Could the spirit of a long-dead soldier be haunting his home?

1:24.5	Put my key in the door, and when I walked in, those crutches fell on the floor again.
