In 1982, a tragic event occurred in a small town in Oregon. Three people were found murdered in a house near an old, abandoned field. Two brothers and the older brother’s wife were discovered dead within two weeks of each other, their necks broken by an unknown force. The house was quickly boarded up by the father of the brothers, and two white dogs were left to guard the property from curious onlookers.

A year later, my family moved into the area, and we kids would often ride our bikes near the field. Every time we got too close to the fence, the dogs would jump up and bark, scaring us away. One day, however, the dogs just sat there, staring up at a window. We looked up and saw three figures standing there, watching us. Terrified, we took off immediately.

Later, the police brought us back, thinking we might have done something wrong. They contacted the father to open the house. We explained what we had seen, but after entering the house, they told us no one had been inside. The owner then revealed that it was impossible for us to have seen the dogs, as they had died two weeks earlier. That’s when we realized we had seen the ghosts of the three murdered people and their dogs.

The house was never sold and was eventually torn down. To this day, the lot remains empty because no one dares to build on it. It’s believed that whatever killed them still lingers, waiting for its next victims.

The Granite Wedge

The summer I turned sixteen, my cousin Lena and her new boyfriend, Marcus, came to visit our small coastal town. My boyfriend, Derek, had just gotten his driver’s license and a beat-up old pickup truck that was more rust than metal. We decided to take Marcus to the old cemetery on the bluff overlooking the […]

The Kitchen of Ash and Ember

In the small town of Marrow’s Rest, nestled between the creeping pines and the ever-moaning river, the Harlow family had lived for generations. The patriarch, Old Man Silas Harlow, had been a stoic, hard-handed farmer who could coax life from the most barren soil. When he passed, the family found themselves adrift in a sea […]

The Marigold Cartographer

I spent my working years at a place called the Weeping Willow Home, nestled in the fog-laden outskirts of Millbrook. Most of the souls I tended have since slipped into the quiet earth of the old Hilltop Cemetery, a place I’ve grown fond of for its winding paths and ancient oaks. It’s a peaceful walk, […]

The Lantern Registry

The inheritance came with a history I was never prepared to read. When my mother passed, she left my brother and me a small cottage on the edge of a bog in the Ardennes, a region of Belgium where the fog often sits like a patient mourner. We had grown up in the city, and […]

The Cartographer’s Dormitory

Four years ago, I traded the cramped familiarity of my childhood home for a single room in the oldest building on campus: the Cartographer’s Dormitory. It was a Victorian relic, its brick facade stained with a century of rain, its hallways smelling of dust and stale coffee. The dormitory was reserved for female students, and […]

The Granary’s Debt

The summer of 2003 was the last one I spent in the city, and the last one I spent as the person I was before. My parents had inherited my great-uncle’s farm in the high desert of New Mexico, a place I had visited only once as a child. The memory was a blur of […]

The Tin Whistle

My aunt Geraldine had a talent for finding trouble in beautiful places. When she bought the old farmhouse outside of Pine Hollow, Vermont, in the autumn of 1991, she thought she’d found a peaceful retreat from the noise of the city. The house, a two-story colonial with peeling white paint and a wraparound porch, had […]

The Breathing in the Walls

Four years ago, I moved to Boston with my partner, Alex. We were pinching pennies, so we crashed with my uncle in his cramped one-bedroom in a pre-war brownstone in Dorchester. The building had that old, musty smell, and the radiators clanked like bones in a grave. We slept on a futon in the living […]

The Hollow Guest

When I was twelve, my family moved into the old Steeple House on the edge of the salt marshes. The house had stood empty for decades, and the locals avoided it, but my father saw a bargain. My first night there, I woke from a feverish nap at three in the afternoon. The room felt […]

The Fire That Came for the Living

Marta, a quiet girl of seven, spent her summers at her grandmother’s farmhouse in the dusty town of Red Hollow, far from the city lights. The house was old, with wide wooden floors that creaked like old bones, and it sat at the edge of a field that stretched into a dark line of pines. […]

The Empty Swing

My grandmother’s farmhouse sat at the edge of a dying town, surrounded by cornfields that whispered secrets in the wind. I inherited it after she passed, a place I hadn’t visited since childhood. The house smelled of old wood and dust, and the wind rattled the windows like a persistent visitor. I moved in with […]

The Slow Creak of Room 204

I was seventeen when we moved into the Bellweather Arms, a sprawling, crumbling apartment building on the outskirts of a town that had seen better days. My parents were charmed by the high ceilings and the rent that was too good to be true. ‘It has character,’ my mother said, running her hand over the […]
