The House That Answered Back

Archive Entry #004 — The House That Answered Back

Recorded: 2001 • Location: North East England

The woman only noticed it after her husband died.

She said the house had begun to respond to her. Not in words — in timing.

The kettle would click off when she entered the kitchen. The hallway light would flicker once when she passed beneath it.

The stairs would creak, always two steps behind her.

At first she found it comforting.

She stopped sleeping in the bedroom when she began to hear movement after turning the light out.

The new occupants reported nothing unusual.

The house was demolished three years later.
