Ghost stories from Tennessee
The Portrait in the Attic
It was the summer of 2019 when my great-aunt passed away, and my mother inherited her old farmhouse in the rolling hills of Virginia. I had never met my great-aunt;...
The Clockwork Visitor
The summer I turned twelve, my family moved to a small town in the Midwest, a place of endless cornfields and quiet roads. My only friend was a girl named...
The Tenant of Larkspur House
I didn’t choose Larkspur House; it chose me. After my roommate’s church made it clear that my presence was an affront to their delicate sensibilities, I packed my bags and...
The Lantern That Never Went Out
I was six when my mother married John, a man with a daughter named Lena, and we moved into the old farmhouse that his grandparents had left him. It sat...
The Silver Door
I had spent years chasing ghosts with a skeptic’s heart, visiting every famed haunted house from the whaling inns of New England to the moss-draped mansions of the Deep South....
The Floor Above
At fifty-one, I’d finally found a place I could call my own—a modest bungalow on the outskirts of Ashford, Maine, where the pines pressed close and the roads turned to...
The Clockwork Dog’s Howl
The rust-tinged smell of the old farmhouse clung to my clothes as I stepped through the back door, the screen slamming shut behind me. My fiancé, Marcus, was already in...
The Man Who Fixed the Fence
I never liked the house on Cinder Lane. It wasn’t just the peeling paint or the porch that sagged like a tired spine; it was the way the air thickened...
The Sunday Bell
I’d been back at the Tidewater Market for three weeks now, long enough to forgive the creaking floorboards and the smell of old brine that clung to the cold cases....
The Loom of Ember Hollow
The house at the edge of Ember Hollow had a name for us. We called it The Weeping Manse, not for any sorrow we could see, but for the way...
The Ticking of the Clock
The old farmhouse had always creaked and groaned, but the ticking began after the first frost. It wasn’t a sound I could place—not the pendulum clock in the hall, which...
The Name Whispering Ghost
My story takes place in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee, about 60 or 70 miles from Chattanooga. The summer of 2008 was a really hard one for me, my boyfriend...
The Moth’s Veil
Elena had always lived with one foot in the unseen. Growing up in the quiet town of Larkspur, she’d learned to read the flicker of porch lights as a sign...
The Man in the Hall
It was late October when we moved into the old farmhouse on Hemlock Road. The previous owners had left in a hurry, and the place had a musty, forgotten smell...
The Tenant of the Aluminum Siding
The summer of 2011, the year the heat broke records, was when I first noticed that my double-wide on the edge of the pine barrens wasn’t just settling. It was...
The Persistent Stain
Mara had always been sensitive to the moods of old houses, but the one she grew up in, a rundown Victorian on Bramblewood Lane, seemed to breathe with a hostile...
The Long Face in the Glass
The car crunched over the gravel driveway of my grandparents’ farmhouse, and I watched the taillights vanish down the dirt road, leaving us in the deep country silence. My mom...
The Lattice of Unfinished Things
The first thing I noticed about the house on Maple Hollow Road was the ivy. It had overtaken the entire western wall, crawling over the windows in thick, gnarled ropes,...
The Bedroom Door
I’m Marek, and last night, the night before my fifteenth birthday, I was alone in the living room of our old farmhouse on the edge of the Blackwood Forest. My...
The Late Show at Hollow Creek
I’d been in Oregon for barely a month, renting a ramshackle farmhouse outside the town of Hollow Creek. The place was a relic from the 1800s, with creaking floorboards and...
The Pale Crawler
My name is Elara, and I have always seen things that others cannot. It is a gift, or a curse, that has shadowed me my entire life. Spirits, ghosts, the...
The Bog House Incident
In the autumn of 1984, the Voss family moved into a decaying Victorian house on the edge of a cranberry bog. The place had been vacant for decades, and the...
The Man in the Pale Cloth
My whole life, I’ve been haunted by glimpses of something just out of sight, always in the corner of my eye. It started when I was a kid, playing in...
