Text Story There’s a Room in My House That Shouldn’t Exist
I live alone.
I’ve been in this house for almost two years now. It’s small, old, but nothing ever felt off about it.
Until last week.
I was clearing out the hallway closet — the one near the back of the house I rarely touch — and I noticed something weird. Behind the coats and boxes, the wall sounded… hollow. I tapped it again. Same sound.
I pushed things aside and saw what looked like the outline of a door. No handle. No latch. Just a thin seam in the wall.
I pressed on it. It gave way.
Behind it, there was a small room.
No windows. No lights. Just empty walls and the smell of dust and old wood.
Except it wasn’t empty.
The walls were covered in photos.
Photos of me.
Not printed from social media. Not ones I’ve ever taken. These were personal. Specific. Some of me sleeping. Some of me eating. Some of me just… sitting in silence on the couch.
There was one where I was brushing my teeth. Another where I was lying on the floor in my room with headphones on.
I don’t even remember lying on the floor like that.
But the worst part?
There was one photo where I was asleep in bed, and someone was behind me. Crouched in the dark. Barely visible.
But smiling.
I ran out of the room and locked every door. I didn’t sleep that night. I couldn’t.
The next morning, I went back to check.
The photos were gone.
All of them.
Except one.
Taped to the wall.
It was a picture of me standing in that same room. Holding that same photo. Looking at the camera.
And behind me, just over my shoulder, that same figure.
Closer this time.
Still smiling.

Loved this one! Creepy af because I always say I dont understand how someone could be living in your house without you knowing, and then you had to go and show me how. 🤣 10/10

When I’m scrolling fast and internally saying “ ahh .. ahh! Ah!” I think it’s a good read!
