This haunting began in an ordinary rental home in Alberta, a house with nothing remarkable in its history… yet something deeply wrong in its foundation. A five-year-old girl walked in and felt it immediately: the basement wasn’t just a room. It was a presence. A watcher. A boundary she was never meant to cross.
And then came the lights.
Not the soft, drifting orbs of folklore—but sharp, electric white spheres trailing neon blue, moving with speed and intention across a darkened doorway. Night after night, they appeared. Night after night, they watched. Night after night, something territorial made it clear: You don’t belong here.
Upstairs offered relief. Outside did not. A mist in the backyard followed her steps, hovered at the edges of her sight, gathered beneath a willow tree that felt older—and darker—than the yard itself.
As an adult, she still remembers the pressure in the air. The way the shadows moved wrong. The feeling of being known by something unseen.
Some hauntings fade. This one never did.
