Some kids grow up with monsters under the bed.
Andy Hopkins grew up with them in the hallway — awake, watching, waiting.
From the time he was young, spirits seemed to find him with unsettling ease. Shadows that paused just long enough to be noticed. Footsteps that crossed the house with purpose. Nights when the air felt charged with something that didn’t want him there. Andy wasn’t just seeing ghosts… they were seeing him, too.
And not all of them were harmless.
What began as a strange sensitivity soon turned into a battle he never asked for — a childhood shaped by whispers, moving darkness, and the sense that something was always just out of view, edging closer. His “gift” wasn’t a doorway into wonder. It was an invitation for the dead to step in and stay.
