-You know your house’s foundation is secure, so why is every corner and floor slanted.

– The house is comfortable and cozy. You like living there. Until you stare at the corner for too long.

– There’s a storage cabinet in your house. You open it and there’s boxes and bags and old dishes. You ask the old residents who they belong to. They say it’s been there since before they arrived.

– The trapdoor outside of your room is always locked. You know. You’ve checked it. You’re housemates have checked it. This morning it stands open.

– One night you’re holding a party. From under the floor, you hear a thudding as if someone was banging on it with a broom. Which is funny considering you live in a house and no one lives below you.
