Things in the Attic — Fexingo Horror

The Cistern Under the McAllister House


Listen Later

In the summer of 2005, a teenager named Elise moved into a renovated farmhouse outside Millbrook, Iowa. The previous owners had sealed a cistern in the basement with concrete, but Elise found a loose board behind the water heater. What she heard when she pressed her ear to the gap — a wet, rhythmic sound, like something breathing through liquid — pulled her back every night for three weeks. She never told her parents. She never called anyone. By the end of August, she stopped using the upstairs bathroom altogether. This is what she wrote in a journal she left behind, and what I found when I bought the house at auction last fall.
