00:00There are things you can explain to a child.

00:03Bad dreams, creaky houses, the wind.

00:07But when your child wakes you at 4am,

00:10trembling, tears streaming down their face.

00:14When they tell you something has ripped the blanket off them

00:17and thrown it across the room,

00:20what do you say?

00:22How do you comfort them when you feel the same presence too?

00:27This is not just a ghost story.

00:30This is what it feels like when your home becomes a cage

00:34and your children are the prey.

00:38Have you ever felt unseen eyes watching you in the dark?

00:42Welcome to Nightfall Crypt where shadows whisper,

00:46the unknown lingers and every story is waiting

00:49for you to listen if you dare.

00:53We had just moved in.

00:56The house looked fine.

00:57Nothing obviously wrong with it.

01:01Quiet street, spacious rooms, a decent backyard.

01:05But almost immediately, I felt it.

01:09A heaviness in the air, like the house was holding its breath.

01:13I brushed it off.

01:15After all, I was a mom of two boys, four and nine.

01:18And stress can play tricks on your senses.

01:22But the feeling never left.

01:24In fact, it grew worse the deeper we settled in.

01:28At exactly 4am one morning,

01:31my nine-year-old son shook me awake.

01:34He didn't say anything at first.

01:37Just stood there, crying, shaking, pale.

01:40It took me 10 minutes to get him to talk.

01:45Finally, he said,

01:46Something was pulling the blanket up and down at my feet.

01:51Then it ripped off me and flew across the room.

01:55I pulled him into bed with me.

01:57But that was only the beginning.

01:59The spirit made itself known every single day.

02:05My kids heard him, saw him, felt him.

02:10He pushed my four-year-old off the top bunk.

02:13He whispered in their ears at night.

02:17He flushed the toilet when they were using it.

02:21My youngest cried one night and said,

02:23I don't want to share my bed with anyone.

02:26I told him no one else was there.

02:30But he pointed and said,

02:32There's a man right there.

02:35I started closing their bedroom door during the day

02:39and blasting music.

02:41I couldn't bear to hear the creaks and dragging noises.

02:44The things being moved when no one else was home.

02:48One afternoon, with the kids at school and the music on,

02:52I stepped outside for a couple minutes.

02:54When I returned, the house was silent.

02:58The music was off.

03:00The bedroom door was wide open.

03:03I was alone.

03:05Or supposed to be.

03:07My four-year-old screamed from the bathroom one afternoon.

03:12I ran in to find him crouched in the shower, crying.

03:17Eyes fixed on something above him.

03:19But there was nothing there.

03:21Or nothing I could see.

03:22One day, I caught the bedroom curtains being pulled open and closed from outside the room.

03:31I rushed in, expecting to see one of my boys.

03:36But my son was across the room, watching cartoons.

03:40His eyes were wide.

03:42I didn't do it, he whispered.

03:48I came home one night, after grocery shopping.

03:52No one was supposed to be home.

03:54My ex had taken the kids out.

03:57But from the street, I saw a bright strobe-like light flashing in the living room.

04:03When I opened the door, everything was pitch black.

04:08No TV.

04:09No lights.

04:11No sound.

04:11Desperate, I called the TAPS team for help.

04:16They set up cameras and sound equipment, all fully charged.

04:21But both cameras went dead instantly.

04:26Batteries drained.

04:27Still, they captured EVPs.

04:31The ghost responded to them.

04:34At one point, he simply said,

04:37I'm dead.

04:38There was nothing more we could do.

04:42I couldn't protect my boys.

04:44We moved.

04:45He didn't follow us, thank God.

04:48But the fear he left behind,

04:51the way my kids still keep the bathroom door open when they go,

04:55those scars haven't healed.

04:58They say children are more sensitive to spirits.

05:02More open.

05:04But what if that openness is an invitation?

05:08What if the reason my kids were targeted

05:10was because they could see him when no one else could?

05:17And what if, just maybe,

05:21he's still in that house,

05:24waiting for the next child to move in?

05:27And so, the shadows stretch further,

05:31and the mystery only deepens.

05:33But this is far from the end.

05:36It's merely the beginning.

05:37What lingers beyond the door?

05:40Who is whispering your name?

05:42And what is that shifting in the corner of your eye?

05:46The answers await in the next chapter of these chilling tales.
