Stockwell, Surrey. January 1772. In a candlelit house, plates crash off a dresser, a clock drops from the wall, and a lantern tumbles down the stairs as if the home itself is turning hostile. Neighbors rush in, panic spreads, and one detail keeps showing up in the reports: the disturbances seem to follow a single person, flaring when she’s near and fading when she’s not. Is it a poltergeist with a target… or something far more human hiding in the dark?
