Blog & StoriesThe Rotting Staircase
It was the autumn of my sophomore year when my best friend Lena and I convinced ourselves we were ghost hunters. We’d read every internet forum and watched grainy videos...
Ghost stories from Canada
The Lantern in the Static
I was eleven when the flickering started, not twelve. We’d just moved into the old farmhouse on the edge of the Cranbrook Flats, a place so flat and empty it...
The Hollow Hour
The night they buried Marcus, I drove the Ridgeway alone. It was a black ribbon of asphalt that cut through the old pines, a road that seemed to fold into...
The Woman in the Red Top
I never believed in ghosts. Not until that autumn when my father’s illness had brought me back to the old house on the edge of the marsh. The house had...
The Glass Sill’s Gift
I was eight when I first noticed the duplication, though looking back, I suspect it had been happening for weeks before I paid it any mind. We lived in a...
The Broken Sconce
My grandmother used to say that some houses are like skin—they stretch to accommodate what lives inside, but eventually, they split. Our house in the fading mill town of Ashford...
The Draft in the Archives
Marta had always found comfort in the quiet corridors of the Wexler County Historical Society. As the night archivist, her shift began at 10 PM and ended at 6 AM,...
The Last Ferry to Meridian
My father, Arthur, passed away in October, after a long battle with a degenerative nerve condition. The disease had slowly robbed him of his mobility and his speech, leaving him...
The Lane of Static
The first thing I noticed was the hallway clock. It had stopped at 3:17 AM, and the second hand was twitching, not ticking, like a trapped insect. I live in...
The Blue Light of the Hallway
Growing up, my family’s faith was a constant, a warm blanket wrapped around our quiet home. We lived in a modest two-story house at the end of a cul-de-sac, a...
The Mirror’s Debt
At seventeen, I found myself a mother to a squalling infant named Leo, a responsibility I was utterly unprepared for. We lived in a cramped, drafty apartment above a closed-down...
The Man in the Wide-Brimmed Hat
Ever since I was a child, I’ve been able to see things that others cannot. My grandmother called it ‘the sight,’ but to me it was just a curse. The...
The Weight of the Upstairs Hallway
My family moved into the old farmhouse on the edge of Merrow Creek when I was twelve. It was a drafty, sprawling place with a tin roof that sang in...
The Blue Lantern
My grand-nephew, Leo, was three when he started talking to the air beside our old farmhouse’s pantry door. ‘He’s waiting,’ Leo would say, his small face serious. ‘He’s been waiting...
The Sawdust Visitor
My name is Elara, and I never expected to inherit my grandmother’s gift. She was a medium, and according to family lore, I was born with the ‘sight’—a fact she...
The Gnarled Roots of Grafton Hollow
My grandmother, Elara, had a way of reading the land that bordered on the unnatural. She could tell you where the soil was bitter just by touching it, and she’d...
The Crib at the Old Mill House
When she was nine, Nina’s family moved into the old mill house on the edge of town. It was a sprawling, drafty place with a waterwheel that hadn’t turned in...
The Blueberry Box
I remember it was a school morning. I don’t have the exact date, but I do know it was a Tuesday, at 6:38 AM. My brother Felix and I were...
The Sock Warp
As a child, I lived in a cramped apartment block called The Painted Tulip, off a dusty road in the outskirts of our town. I was the kind of kid...
The Copper Toll
In the autumn of 2014, I moved into a rundown duplex on the edge of a deserted industrial district, where the streetlights flickered like dying fireflies and the air always...
The Concrete Hum
My name is Elias, and for most of my life I’ve worked construction, mostly on big, ugly, soul-crushing projects: parking garages, highway overpasses, and the like. I’ve seen plenty of...
The Static in the Walls
The weekend had been a blur of neon lights and bass that vibrated in my chest long after the music stopped. I’d crashed at my friend Mira’s place, a cramped...
The Static in the Walls
March 3, 2019, at 11:47 PM, my daughter Clara woke from a nightmare, her small body trembling as she crept into my room. I pulled back the covers, and she...
The Granary Ledger
I have never been one to believe in ghosts. I’m a practical man, an engineer by trade, and I’ve always found logical explanations for the strange noises that old houses...
