I still remember that night like it just happened. Everyone in town always talked about the old house on the hill — the one that hadn’t had power in decades but still flickered with light after midnight.
I laughed it off and told my friends I’d prove it was nothing. Just five minutes inside, I said. Easy.
The moment I stepped in, the air turned cold. My flashlight barely worked; its beam danced across the walls. Then I heard it — a whisper, right behind me:
“Someone finally came back…”
My heart froze. The walls were covered in small handprints — wet, moving, sliding slowly toward me. I turned to run, but the door was gone. All I could hear was breathing, close enough to feel.
Then a voice, soft and smiling, whispered:
“You can stay with us now.”
No one found me after that night. But sometimes, people say they still see a faint light inside the house… and a new flashlight lying by the door.
