For her, that name was Jerry. Or maybe it was Miguel. She still isn’t sure which one is real… or which one answered her that night.
After moving into a new house in Denver, she believed the presence that haunted her childhood home was finally behind her. But it followed. This time, Jerry didn’t come alone—there was another figure she called Bobby.
The haunting began with small things: a framed Art Festival picture that seemed to change on its own, Shakespeare’s tiny portrait shifting expressions, sometimes replaced with a face that wasn’t human at all. As a child, she noticed it first. Years later, the same unease returned in Denver—cold drafts in warm rooms, the metallic scent of iron, the sound of a cough coming from empty hallways.
The most terrifying moment came when she dared to say the name “Miguel” out loud—only to feel the air turn frigid, as if something unseen had crept up behind her to listen.
This is a haunting that followed her across state lines and, a presence that seems to respond to a name she’s now afraid to speak.
