Summary

Dave from Massachusetts recounts a haunting series of childhood experiences in a remote house in New Sweden, Maine—where the winters were brutal, and something dark seemed to linger at the top of the stairs. From his mother hearing phantom door slams to recurring nightmares shared between siblings, the family’s memories of the house are laced with something much deeper than dreams. One chilling incident, involving a guttural voice that lured Dave into the shadows—only for him to reappear with no memory of what happened—raises the question: what was really living at the top of those stairs?
