The House 'Round the Corner

A weary traveler arrives in the bustling market town of Nuttonby, his luggage filled with heavy boxes of books that attract curious looks from the locals. He soon discovers that the town’s narrow streets and crowded platform lead to a modest agency, Walker & Son, which will place him in a house that has long stood “round the corner” of the Red Lion inn. From the moment he steps inside, the house seems to have its own personality—creaking floorboards, oddly timed drafts, and a faint sense that it remembers every visitor who has ever passed through its doors.

As the new tenant settles, strange coincidences begin to surface: whispers in empty rooms, a midnight seance that feels less theatrical than genuine, and an ever‑growing list of unanswered questions about the house’s past. The early days hint at hidden histories and subtle forces at work, inviting listeners to join a quietly unsettling mystery that unfolds one uncanny detail at a time.
