Some houses feel their age in creaks and drafts. Others wear their history the way a body wears scars. And then there are homes like the one outside Joplin, Missouri — places that seem to wake up when the sun goes down.
For Courtney and her siblings, childhood didn’t just happen inside that house… it happened alongside whatever else lived there. Something small and fast enough to blur across the hallway. Something bold enough to sit on a girl’s chest in the dark. Something strong enough to slam a door through thick carpet.
But the real story isn’t just what they saw — it’s the heaviness that settled into the walls afterward. The sense of being watched on the stairs. The feeling of breath behind you in the hallway. The way every child in the house learned to walk fast, never look into the dark too long, and never, ever sleep with their door cracked open.
Years later, the house is gone from their lives… but not from their dreams. Because some places don’t stay behind when you move. Some places follow.
