Short Haunts - Doors, Locks and Demons

Some hauntings begin quietly.A sound on the stairs. A light switching on. A room that should be locked, but somehow feels disturbed. At first, it’s easy to explain away — until someone else hears it too.In this Short Haunts listener story, KG shares two unsettling experiences from different homes in America, beginning in a rented university house in New Concord, Ohio. Living there over the summer with her friend Mandy, KG began hearing footsteps on the old creaking stairs late at night — only to discover that Mandy had been hearing the same thing, and thought it was KG.What follows is a strange account of lights, radios, locked bedroom doors, objects turned around, and an unseen presence the two friends eventually named Alice. Years later, in a townhouse in Columbus, KG would experience something darker: a night-time presence in her bedroom that felt oppressive, watchful, and deeply malevolent.Personal, atmospheric and quietly disturbing, this is a story about haunted houses, shared experiences, spiritual sensitivity, and the fear that something may not simply occupy a place — but follow.Enjoyed the episode?
