Remote User: The Smart Lock That Didn't Listen

A homeowner three hours away in a conference room receives a notification that their smart lock has been disengaged - but they're the only one with access. What follows is a terrifying digital game of lock and unlock, repeated over and over, until security camera footage reveals something impossible standing in the living room. A tall, indistinct shadow that doesn't walk but flows, reaching toward the camera and waiting for the door to finally stay open. A haunting story about modern security systems, the things that learn to manipulate them, and the cold certainty that something dark now knows where you live. Perfect for grown-ups who rely on smart home technology. Not for kids - listener discretion advised. ------------ Beth's Spooky Story Time is your new favourite horror podcast, best enjoyed alone with headphones.
