To see it. Because now she understood the truth about this house. It wasn’t just haunted. It didn’t just remember. It collected. Memories, fears, secrets. It didn’t want to kill them—it wanted something else. Something far more insidious. It wanted them exposed. Broken. Honest. Vulnerable. The first echo appeared without warning. Ava’s father.

Of course, fear has a way of summoning exactly what you dread. Footsteps sounded in the stairwell, slow and even. Then in the hallway. They got closer and closer… until they stopped. Right outside my door. - The handle turned, and the door creaked open. The person outside paused, as if inspecting the room. Then they stepped inside. I covered my mouth and curled tighter beneath the bed, afraid to even breathe. Black leather boots crossed the floor with soft, heavy steps. Every footstep felt like it landed straight on my heart.

' 'I owe you an explanation I didn't give you properly before I left. 'When I arrived at Harrow Hill I told you I was too late for the previous owners. That's true. But what I didn't tell you is that I was also too late once before that. Seventeen years ago. A house in the north of England. Not like Harrow Hill. Smaller. Less powerful. But the same principle. Something old feeding on something human.' 'Claire was my research partner. She went in alone because I was delayed. By the time I arrived she had been inside for six hours. She came out. But not all of her came out.'

The old Blackwood Manor, its gothic spires piercing the night sky. Twenty-five-year-old Riley Harper had joined the investigation as a favor to her friend’s production company, documenting the notorious haunted estate for a new paranormal series.

"I'm just so devastated. I just got dumped, and Isla is being so cruel to me. I feel like I want to die." Hannah shot me a venomous glare as she came out of the break room. "Picking on a newbie—real classy. What goes around comes around." … I purposely worked late until eight. When I packed up to leave, I realized my house keys were missing. I searched every drawer and my bag—nothing. I figured I'd call the property manager and a locksmith once I got home. When I reached my door, I noticed it was cracked open—unlocked. My heart sank. A bad feeling washed over me.

Derek said reasonably, though his posture visibly stiffened as he aimed his flashlight down the hallway. ​"I hope so," I breathed. ​"No," Tasha said flatly, grabbing the back of Derek's shirt. "This house is haunted. Jonathan Vance's ghost is back for his property. We are all going to die." ​"Calm down, Tasha," Derek said softly. "There's no such thing as a haunted—" ​CRASH! ​A loud, violent smash shattered the quiet—the sound of a heavy wooden display shelf toppling onto the hardwood floor in the library.

Inside, eerie sounds and flashes of dim light had her friends clinging to her arms, with her own fear rising at every twist and turn. “Sia, this place is seriously creepy…” Kiara muttered. Cassia chuckled, momentarily distracted from her heartache as they continued deeper into the haunted house. They walked through a winding, dimly lit hallway, lined with narrow, twisting corridors that vanished into darkness.

Suddenly, something pushed me down on the sofa and as I started to rise, I found myself pushed down again. Flailing about against the pressure holding me in place, I felt a yanking at the bottom of my legs. My shoes were being pulled off and as I tried to bend over to reach them, I was once again thrust against the back of the sofa. My trousers were now being tugged down. Clinging to the top of them was useless, as they were torn from my grasping fingers. Struck by what was happening, it was as if lightening suddenly struck me, at the realization that maybe this house really was haunted. I was suddenly dumb with fear that my dream of wanting to date Brian’s old girlfriend was going to get me

I'll probably just sleep this through and think this carefully. The next day, since I have no job... again, I got stuck at watching TV and eating some chips while lying lazily on the sofa.
