The Lullaby from an Empty Room | After Midnight

Some ghost stories begin in childhood — and never truly end. This is the true story of a haunting that started with a lullaby in the dark and spiraled into years of footsteps, cold spots, and terrifying poltergeist activity.

It began when she was just four years old, lying in bed unable to sleep. That’s when a woman’s voice began to sing a lullaby. The room was empty, the only TV in the house was silent, and yet the voice was there. Later, she felt the unmistakable presence of someone sitting by her bed — even a touch against her arm through the blanket.

Her house grew stranger as she grew older. At night, the hallway always seemed to have eyes. Footsteps echoed when no one walked. The porch door screeched open and shut even when she stood right in front of it. But the true escalation came in grade eight, when she and her best friend Annie began to notice cold spots at school — icy breezes brushing only their necks or shoulders. Annie later woke to a tall, glowing white figure at the end of her bed. Around the same time, she saw someone walk behind a tree in her neighbor’s yard… and never emerge.

For years the activity continued — footsteps, voices, icy breezes, moving objects — until it slowly faded in her late teens. Was it coincidence? Or was it the mark of a poltergeist, drawn to the energy of adolescence?

This is more than a haunted house tale. It’s a chilling look at how spirits — or something stranger — can weave themselves into our childhoods and follow us into adulthood.
