In a family that moved constantly for ministry work, ghosts weren’t just discouraged—they were flat-out “not real.” No Halloween. No hauntings. No talk about anything beyond the approved version of faith.

But in one particular house, the rules didn’t matter. Books slid off shelves with no one near them. Objects skidded across tables. A massive, solid wood bookcase—so heavy it took multiple grown men and a dolly to move—nearly toppled onto the bunk bed where Alex and a younger sister slept.

No one else saw it, no one else believed it, and Alex already carried another weight: a rare medical condition that causes hallucinations. To everyone around them, that diagnosis became the easy answer for everything.

Except this started before the disorder. And Alex insists they can tell the difference.

Was this a classic poltergeist latching onto the most sensitive person in the family—or something darker that knew exactly how easy it would be to blame it all on “hallucinations”?
