Short Haunts - Trust Your Instincts

A mother feels danger building before she can name it.A holiday house by the sea begins to feel wrong.Then she finds the window open.In this Short Haunt, Jane shares a deeply unsettling account from a stressful period of her life, while preparing to move from New Zealand to the UK with her two young children.Alone with the children while her husband begins work overseas, Jane becomes increasingly convinced that something terrible is approaching — not a vague anxiety, but a specific and growing certainty that someone intends to break into the holiday home where they are staying. She tries to rationalise it as stress, exhaustion and the pressure of a major life change, but the feeling only intensifies.After days of fear, hypervigilance and a powerful sense of being watched, Jane discovers a window open in a house she knows she had locked. She calmly removes the children, goes to the police, and returns the next day to find every door and window open, with all the lights switched on.This is not a traditional ghost story, but something quieter and perhaps more disturbing: a story about premonition, instinct, maternal fear, unseen warning signs and the possibility that some forms of intuition may reach us before danger does.Enjoyed the episode?
