Summary

It began with an apartment overlooking a cemetery in Iowa City—a small place, young couple, cheap rent. What followed was years of escalating terror that refused to stay contained within four walls. Curtains that opened on their own. A porcelain doll staring toward the graves. Voices caught on answering machines. A priest who admitted the darkness was beyond his training.

But moving didn’t stop it. It only gave it new walls to inhabit. From the coastal apartment where a child laughed at something called “the witch”—to a new house where even the dog obeyed a voice that wasn’t human—the haunting grew bolder, more intelligent, more personal.

This is the story of a presence that didn’t just haunt a home—it haunted a family. Because sometimes, the dead don’t follow the house. They follow you.

An affordable apartment in Iowa City, close to work, close to downtown.

Life was loud and hopeful, but the quiet that
