Ghost stories from Apparitions

The Drip in the Static

The Drip in the Static I moved to the outskirts of Reykjavik three months ago, into a converted fish-canning factory that now boasts ‘industrial-chic’ apartments. My girlfriend, Sigrid, loves the...

The Hanging Thread

Milo had always been attuned to the thin places of the world, the seams where the ordinary frayed into something else. At seventeen, he’d learned to ignore the flicker of...

The Silent Arithmetic

My name is Danny, and I’m fifteen. About eight months ago, my family moved into a renovated farmhouse on the edge of the Dahlia wetlands. We left a cramped apartment...

The Lantern at the Turn

At 2:54 AM, the house on Hemlock Lane sat silent, save for the occasional creak of old timbers settling. Jules and her best friend, Callie, had been sneaking out for...

The Clank in the Wall

The day Marisol left, the house felt like a held breath. I wandered from room to room, my bare feet slapping against the cool hardwood, the silence so thick it...

The Yellow Envelope

In the autumn of 1994, I was nineteen, living in a rented room above a laundromat in a small Midwest town. The place smelled perpetually of detergent and mildew, and...

The Marrow Man’s Toll

I’d only been working the night shift at the Saltmarsh Care Home for three months, but I already knew the routine: check on Mrs. Albright’s morphine drip, soothe old Mr....

The Angle of the Wall

The house my father and I inherited from my grandmother was a Victorian relic that had seen better decades. It was perched on a hill overlooking the town of Ashford,...

The Marble Game

The night shift at Meridian Contact Solutions was always quiet after midnight. I worked on the fifth floor of a refurbished 1970s office block on the edge of Birmingham’s industrial...
