Houses, especially when empty or old, can scare us because they embody both safety and vulnerability. They're places where we expect to feel secure, yet their dark hallways, creaking floors, and hidden corners can stir primal fears of the unknown. Familiar rooms become unsettling when silence falls, and every shadow or distant sound feels like a presence waiting to be revealed. Our imaginations fill these quiet spaces with stories, ghosts, intruders, memories, that blur the line between comfort and dread, making the ordinary suddenly terrifying.
Today’s opening tale of terror is the classic ‘The Corpse on the Grating’, an old-school work by the wonderful Hugh B. Cave, freely available in the public domain and read here under the conditions of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license.
