Summary
A seventeen-year-old who wanted nothing to do with the paranormal — until it refused to ignore her. Her family’s first house in Edmonton, Alberta seemed ordinary at first, but the trouble began with a staircase: ten carpeted steps that repeatedly sent her, her mother, and her sister tumbling… yet none of them ever came away with a single bruise.
Then came the vanishing doll — a cherished gift that disappeared for weeks and later reappeared upright on the floor as if it had stepped down from its place on the wardrobe. When her parents’ divorce forced a move to Toronto, the activity followed: sharp new potato peelers kept disappearing, only to spare the cheapest one; fine crescent-shaped scratches began appearing on her fingers overnight; and worst of all, she began waking at almost exactly 3:00 A.M. every night.
No shadows lunging from closets, no cold breath on her neck — just the slow realization that something unseen was aware of her, watching. The feeling of being noticed became more terrifying than any scream in the dark.
This is not a story with a neat ending. It’s about living in the thin space between skepticism and belief, between a locked bedroom door and the sense that something is just on the other side.
