A quiet cottage on the edge of town should be a sanctuary, but in this slow‑creeping, water‑logged haunting, the guest room becomes a place where something unseen lies down to sleep.
She lives alone in a spacious old cottage, the kind with heavy oak furniture and a guest room no one ever uses. But one morning, the perfectly made bed bears a deep, unmistakable indentation. She smooths it out. Locks the door. Vacuums the carpet into flawless lines. Tapes the frame to catch any movement.
The next morning, the tape is intact. The carpet is pristine.
But the bed is occupied again.
And this time, wet footprints - small, bare, and impossibly crisp - lead from the mattress to the closet door.
For listeners who love water hauntings, domestic dread, and stories where the past seeps through the floorboards, this episode delivers a chilling, atmospheric ghost story that lingers like damp air long after the final line.
Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
