Summary

On this episode, we dig into a chilling account of a woman’s time spent in a secluded cottage in Johannesburg. What starts as a seemingly ordinary move after a breakup soon spirals into a haunting encounter with a mysterious presence. Was the entity a spirit of someone long gone, or is there something else at play?

As the presence grows more pronounced, T’s experience becomes a journey of uneasy companionship, leading her to question her perceptions and the limits of reality itself. In this eerie story, we examine the fine line between what is seen and what is felt—what haunts the mind, and what lingers in the shadows.
