The Woman on the Stairs Wasn’t Alive | After Midnight

Some hauntings strike once and disappear. Others dig in quietly, threading themselves through a life until you can’t tell where memory ends and something else begins. For him, the signs were there long before he had a name for fear — a woman waiting at the bottom of the stairs, figures that looked solid until they blinked out of existence, and a crying girl who sat beside his bed night after night, never lifting her face.

But what happens when those encounters don’t fade with childhood… and instead grow more intelligent?

From shadows that stared straight through him to a moment overseas when a temple full of unseen sorrow nearly brought him to his knees, his life has been marked by things that behave nothing like imagination. And the moment he thought he’d escaped it — in a crowded college thousands of miles from home — something stepped into view again, reminding him that distance means nothing when you’re the one being followed.

And the most unsettling question isn’t what he kept seeing…It’s why it keeps finding him.
