Short Haunts - Tuning into the Unknown

A family moves into a tall Victorian townhouse.The piano comes with them.But when the piano tuner steps inside, something in the house makes him want to leave.In this Short Haunt, Abi shares a chilling family story about a home in Essex, a professional piano tuner, and a cellar that seemed to hold onto something deeply unsettling. At first, the only strange detail is the piano tuner himself — a trusted family friend who suddenly becomes distant, uneasy and desperate to finish his work as quickly as possible.Then the house begins to reveal more. The family dog refuses to enter the converted cellar. The cellar door slams shut in the night, again and again, even after being checked and bolted. As the disturbances continue, the family tries to live around them — until another move finally takes them away.Only then does the piano tuner admit what he’d been sensing all along: something in that house had felt wrong from the moment he entered it. Something that made him physically ill. Something that seemed to grow stronger each time he returned.Atmospheric, restrained and quietly disturbing, this is a story about intuition, place memory, hidden history and the possibility that some houses keep replaying what happened behind closed doors.Enjoyed the episode?
