The House That Watched

Supernatural Horror Short Story

People say the old boardinghouse is harmless. Just stories. Just superstition.

Lila Carr doesn’t believe in ghosts… until her first night inside.

Footsteps follow her down empty halls.

Shadows linger in the mirror after she’s already turned away.

Something in the house knows her name—and waits for her to speak back.

She came to write about the haunting.

Now she’s part of it.

Because the house doesn’t want visitors.

It wants attention.

And once it notices you… it never stops watching.
