Clara stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her face was pale, and her eyes were red-rimmed. She couldnโ€™t sleep. She spent the nights tossing and turning. The house felt empty and hollow, despite the presence of her husband and children.

She had been trying to create a cozy home for her family, but everything felt off. She was looking at property records online, and her cursor landed on a document titled, โ€œPrior Owner History.โ€ Intrigued, she clicked it.

The details of the document chilled her. The previous owner had been murdered in the master bedroom, the very room where she and her husband slept. A chill ran down her spine. A wave of nausea washed over her.
