One night in her childhood home in Sumter, South Carolina, she found herself dreaming… or so she thought. She walked through her hallway exactly as it was in real life. Same walls. Same carpet. Same bedroom door left cracked just enough to feel normal. Until she saw what was standing behind it — something watching her with an intelligence no nightmare should ever have.
Years later, a second encounter ripped through the silence of an ordinary night. Sarah looked down a hallway that should’ve been empty… and saw a figure so dark it swallowed the shadows around it. It didn’t walk. It didn’t shift. It simply noticed her. And when it did, she felt its attention settle deep into her bones.
Some ghosts tap. Some whisper. This one waited.
