Summary

When Jenna and her husband bought an old farmhouse in rural Wisconsin, she expected an adjustment period. What she didn't expect were the footsteps.

For years, she heard someone walking the upstairs hallway while she was home alone. Sometimes there was a cough. Sometimes a door seemed to close. Occasionally she caught glimpses of movement where no one should have been.

The experiences were unsettling, but they never felt threatening.

Then a conversation with a longtime neighbor revealed the story of the woman who had lived in the farmhouse before them—a widow who spent years waiting by the front window for someone who was never coming home.

Suddenly, the strange sounds didn't feel random anymore. They felt familiar. Like pieces of a routine that refused to end.

closer to town.

Robbie, on the other hand, wanted space.

After years of apartment living and crowded neighborhoods, he dreamed of a place where they could sit on a porch and hear nothing but the wind.

It was old without feeling neglected and carried the kind of character that newer homes never seemed to have.
