Blog & StoriesThe Weeping Hollow
My life before the move was unremarkable, a quiet existence in a dusty Kansas town where the only mysteries were the cornfields that seemed to breathe at night. I never...
Ghost stories from Florida
The Hollow Hours
I’m not writing this for sympathy or for someone to tell me it’s all in my head. I know it’s in my head; that’s the problem. My name is Casey,...
The Spare Room’s Stained Floor
In the summer of 2012, my wife Elena and I were converting the spare room next to our bedroom into a nursery for our first child, a boy due in...
The Looming in the Lath House
The night we found the lath house was the night we lost our nerve for ghost hunting. My friends and I, armed with little more than a cracked phone and...
The Itching Veil
When I was nine, my great-aunt Marisol came to live with us in our cramped apartment complex in North Miami. She was ancient, with skin like crumpled parchment, and dark,...
The Cartographer’s Last Survey
I never believed in ghosts. Even as a child, while other kids trembled at tales of hook-handed killers or phantom hitchhikers, I found such stories entertaining but hollow. My parents...
The Crescents of June
The first time I noticed them, I thought it was a reaction to something in the soap. It was a Tuesday evening, June 19th, and I had just stepped out...
The Salt-Stained Window
The summer before my senior year, my parents shipped me off to my grandmother’s house in the sleepy coastal town of Edgewater, Oregon. The house was a relic from the...
The Blade of the Hairpin
The house on Morrow Lane had always felt like a living thing to me, its creaks and sighs a kind of breathing we’d learned to ignore. My twin sister Maya...
The Static That Stares
The first time I saw him, I was four years old, lying in bed with a fever that made the walls breathe. My room was on the second floor of...
The Hollow Basin
The house on Larkspur Lane had always felt wrong to Mira, but the worst was the bathroom off her parents’ old bedroom. It was a strange, rounded room with a...
The Hollow Nightlight
The house on Maple Street was supposed to be our fresh start. After months of cramped apartments and financial strain, the two-story Victorian with its wraparound porch and overgrown garden...
The Leaf That Stared Back
The first time I saw it, I thought it was a trick of the light. A swirl of dead leaves, kicked up by a gust of wind, dancing across the...
The Christmas Clock
In the winter of 2014, my grandmother, Elena, who was more of a mother to me than my own, passed away in a small hospice room in rural Vermont. She...
The Saltmarsh Path
Our home stood at the edge of a saltmarsh, where the reeds whispered secrets to the wind. My husband, Elias, and I had bought the old farmhouse for its isolation...
The Hollow Between the Pines
I’ve never told anyone about the summer I turned nine, the summer we moved to the edge of the Blackwood Forest in northern Maine. My father had inherited a hunting...
The Salt on Her Skin
My grandmother, Elara, always said the sea talked to her. Not in words, but in currents, in the way the salt clung to her skin long after she’d left the...
The Photograph in the Hall
The first time I saw the photograph, I was nine years old, standing on a chair to reach the top shelf of my grandmother’s closet. It was tucked inside a...
The Last Gaslight
My family has owned the old lighthouse keeper’s cottage on the Maine coast since my great-grandfather bought it in 1911, just four years after it was built. The original lighthouse,...
The Clockwork Teeth
In the autumn of 1992, the desert heat still clung to the prefab housing of Fort Meridian, a sprawling Air Force installation that seemed to float on a sea of...
The Salted Road
The migration from Virginia to the Gulf coast of Florida should have felt like shedding a skin, but for me it was the opposite: a tightening. I was four, and...
The Rotating Ledger
I was six when I first saw the sky peel back like a rotten orange. My father had pulled over to adjust the chains on the old pickup, and I...
The Hour Hand’s Grudge
I never told anyone about the clock. Not my parents, not my friends, not even my brother, Leo, who shared my room back then. It was our grandmother’s clock, a...
The Watcher in the Wall
After the divorce, my mother and I moved into a small waterfront house in a quiet cove, far from the cramped apartment we’d shared with my father. The house was...
