Sherry had just moved into a quiet neighborhood in Madison, Wisconsin, hoping for a fresh start with her two kids. The house was old, but it felt warm… almost welcoming.
At first, everything seemed normal.
But then… little things started happening.
Doors would creak open on their own.
Soft footsteps echoed through the hallway late at night.
And sometimes, Sherry felt like she was being watched… even when she was completely alone.
She tried to ignore it.
Until one night, everything changed.
Around 2:30 AM, Sherry woke up to the faint sound of her son talking in his room. At first, she thought he was just dreaming. But as she listened closer… she realized something was wrong.
He wasn’t just talking.
He was having a full conversation.
A pause… then a response.
A whisper… then silence… then another reply.
Sherry slowly got out of bed, her heart pounding. She walked toward his room, each step heavier than the last.
The door was slightly open.
She pushed it gently…
And what she saw made her freeze.
Her son wasn’t in bed.
He was sitting on the floor in the corner of the room… whispering to someone.
But there was no one there.
“Who are you talking to?” she asked, her voice barely steady.
Her son slowly turned his head toward her…
…and smiled.
“The man,” he said softly.
“He comes every night.”
Sherry felt her blood run cold.
“Where is he now?” she whispered.
Her son raised his hand… and pointed behind her.
