Summary

In these true scary stories, two storytellers recount deeply unsettling experiences that followed them from childhood into adulthood. Breanna tells us about a ghostly family frozen in time and a presence that lurks in the shadows of a shared home. Rowan then joins us to tell us about a house that seems to replay moments from beyond reality itself. These experiences are far more disturbing than either expected.
