AI Summary

5 min read

The narrator’s family built a second story onto their house, but ran out of money before finishing it. The construction sat unfinished for months—exposed brick, concrete columns, rooms without doors or windows. One night, the narrator’s older sister Mariana came home terrified. She said she had seen a boy in the unfinished hallway, dressed in old-fashioned clothes, calling to her. That encounter was the beginning of years of escalating disturbances.

The family tried to dismiss it. But as weeks passed, Mariana became irritable, then angry, then unrecognizable. She fought constantly with everyone. The house itself began to feel wrong—heavy, tense. Then came the physical evidence: wet footprints of a small child appearing in the middle of the living room, starting from nowhere. A handprint appeared on the wall above the narrator’s bed, and it did not fade for months. Objects moved. Sounds of drawers opening and furniture being dragged came from empty rooms.

The narrator began to suspect that whatever was in the house was not just present—it was learning. It imitated the family. Friends of Mariana reported seeing the narrator standing at her window at night, smiling in an unnatural way, leaning impossibly far out. The narrator herself was asleep or downstairs at those times. The entity seemed to be studying them, copying appearances and behaviors.

Cuando una familia decide construir habitaciones en la planta alta de su casa, lo último que espera encontrar es algo que parece vivir entre los muros sin terminar. Lo que comenzó con la aparición de un extraño niño en una construcción abandonada pronto se convirtió en años de experiencias imposibles: voces en la oscuridad, presencias que parecían conocer los nombres de los habitantes de la casa y fenómenos que dejaron una huella permanente en toda una familia.

En este relato conoceremos la historia de una casa marcada por apariciones, imitaciones inquietantes y sucesos paranormales que continuaron durante años, incluso después de que quienes los vivieron intentaran dejar todo atrás.

¿Puede una presencia aprender a copiar a las personas? ¿Qué ocurre cuando algo dentro de tu hogar parece observarte durante años? Esta es una historia real enviada por un miembro de la comunidad de Relatos de la Noche.
