She Outgrew the House. Something Else Didn’t | After Midnight

When she was three years old, her mother often heard her talking to someone at the top of the stairs. The answer was always the same: the lady on the landing. Friendly, but stern. A teacher. Someone who listened.

The conversations stopped as she grew older, but the unease didn’t. The landing never felt empty. The light there never worked. And when illness entered the family, something else did too — a figure in the doorway, a presence that returned every Monday morning at the same time, watching with glowing eyes.

Years later, long after leaving that house behind, the feeling came back — not as footsteps or shadows, but as silent televisions, failing lights, and a sudden wave of despair that didn’t feel like her own.

This isn’t a story about a ghost. It’s about something that seems to return at thresholds — childhood, solitude, transition — and the unsettling question of whether it was ever external at all.
