The Outside Lock: A Flat Share Mystery

from Spooky Story Time · host Mercury

Turn off the lights for tonight's chilling tale of shared living gone impossibly wrong. In The Outside Lock, a new tenant moves into a perfect Victorian flat and meets their roommate Chloe only once - a brief glimpse through a cracked door. For three months, Chloe exists only as notes on creamy cardstock, the scent of rosewater, and precise morning sounds. But when she discovers Chloe's door is bolted from the outside and uses the spare key to investigate, they find an empty room with only a farewell note thanking them "for never asking." Yet every morning at 7:30, the clink still sounds from the vacant, locked room. A haunting story about the tenants who were never quite alive and the keys that open doors to nothing. Perfect for grown-ups who've lived with strange roommates. Not for kids - listener discretion advised. ------------ Beth's Spooky Story Time is your new favourite horror podcast, best enjoyed alone with headphones.
