Ghost stories from Australia
The Locked Door
I’m fifteen, and I live in a renovated farmhouse in the dusty outskirts of Broken Hill, where the red earth cracks under the sun and the wind carries a constant,...
The Weekly Visitation
At twenty, I thought I had left the strangeness behind. My name is not important, nor is the precise name of the dusty Queensland town where I grew up, but...
The Nightgown on the Bottom Bunk
I was eleven when my grandfather moved in after his heart surgery. The doctors said he needed a quiet place to recover, so my parents turned our living room into...
The Crank That Wouldn’t Stop
It was a damp October evening when I put little Theo to bed. The nursery smelled of lavender and baby powder, a scent I’d come to associate with peace. The...
The Man Who Left His Shadow in the Orchard
Two years had passed since I’d moved to the coastal town of Saltmarsh, taking a job at the old maritime supply shop that smelled of rope and diesel. I was...
The Candle That Knew
The year was 1982, and I was thirteen. My best friend’s older sister, Clara, had taken an interest in the occult, and her house on the outskirts of our small...
The Arrangement of Coins
The move was a blur of cardboard boxes and packing tape, but the destination was far from welcoming. Our temporary haven perched atop a narrow, sloped street in a town...
The Salt Oath
Three years ago, I moved into a compact apartment above a 24-hour laundromat in Portland, Oregon. The unit was a railway-style layout: my bedroom sat at the far end, and...
The Cartographer’s Malady
The old house on Hemlock Lane had a way of keeping its secrets, but I thought I’d uncovered them all after three years of renting the attic studio. My name...
The Frosted Windowpane
In the deep of February, when the cold seeped through the old farmhouse’s walls, I lay in my narrow bed, the covers pulled up to my chin. I was eight...
The Gate of Yellowed Bone
I was twelve that summer, and the world was a place of dust and cicadas. My friend’s older sister, Marisol, was eighteen and carried an air of secret knowledge that...
The Hollow Meadow
I was living in my grandfather’s old farmhouse in rural Minnesota when my Aunt Rosa passed. She had been in a coma for a week after a stroke, and I...
The Man in the Gables
I’ve been a member of this forum for a few months now, but I’ve read the stories here for years. It’s comforting to know I’m not alone in experiencing things...
The Sixth Frame
At 3:12 AM on a Tuesday, Mabel Hargrove was yanked from a dreamless sleep by a weight pressing on her chest, as if a boulder had been laid upon her...
The Lullaby of Ashwood Lane
Three summers had passed since the Harlow family moved into the old farmhouse on Ashwood Lane. At fourteen, Elias was old enough to appreciate the solitude of the countryside, the...
The Wedding Dress in the Attic
The house on Bramblewick Lane was a Victorian relic, its bones creaking with every shift of the wind. I was eight when we moved in, and my room was a...
The Client’s Wall
I never believed in the supernatural before we moved into the glass house on Ravencrest Road. It was a marvel of modern architecture, all sharp angles and floor-to-ceiling windows that...
The Gown of a Forgotten Winter
I was eleven the autumn we moved into the old farmhouse on the edge of the marsh. My father, who had inherited it from a great-uncle he barely remembered, insisted...
The Moonlit Groves of Larkspur
It was late October, a chill creeping into the air of the foothills town of Larkspur, and my new girlfriend, Mira, and I had driven out to our usual spot—a...
The Bell at Ward’s Point
I’m sorry I haven’t written in so long. But I had to put this down while the details are still sharp in my mind. We’re in New Zealand for my...
The Lullaby of the Drowned Choir
I remember the first time I saw her, or rather, heard her. A faint, watery humming drifting down the hallway of our new house in the salt-bleached town of Port...
The Watcher in the Red Brick
It was the first truly warm day of the year, the kind that makes you forget the gray months. I was walking home from the market, a canvas bag of...
The Copper Locket
My father’s last words were not for my mother. They were for me, a ten-year-old boy standing in a pool of his blood, the landing light flickering above us. ‘Elena,’...
