In shock I hung up and kept this to myself convinced I was losing my mind. That it was all in my head, but I remember that moment so vividly. What my sister was wearing, how she was sitting, how I felt a shift in the couch when she sat down.

Before I moved to London, I used to live in a 1950’s built house in Hampshire, England. My parents had purchased it in 1999 from an old couple who had lived in it since it was built.

After my parents started renovating, my brother and I both started to feel like we were being watched in the house, and at night in the living room, you would always feel like something was watching you through the glass doors from the hallway or the stairs.
