Whispers at the Staircase: The Old Wooden House and the Lingering Shadow That Refused to Leave

This post is a fictional tale. Please read for entertainment purposes only.
.

“Mr. Ex, let’s go check out a house in the Sukhumvit area today.”
A senior teammate called to invite me on a case
Right in the heart of Asoke.
.

When we arrived at the property
It was a nice rectangular plot
Around one and a half rai
Over 40 meters wide
You could build anything here—it would all look great.
.

The front area was a wide open space
Probably fit around 10 cars
Honestly, this land should be sold as just the land
No need to mention any buildings on it
Because the house was really old
A half-concrete, half-wooden structure
Probably no less than 30 years old.
.

There were two houses on the property
A bigger one on the right and a smaller one on the left
Both were in similarly aged condition.
.

The house on the right had two floors
It felt open and airy
I figured it must’ve been the main house
So I went in to check it out first.
.

The first floor was used by the land caretaker
Currently living there alone.
.

When I got to the second floor, I climbed a curved staircase
There were two bedrooms
And just as I was about to enter the master bedroom…
.

I suddenly got goosebumps
Here it comes… the channel opened
Which meant there was some kind of presence
Occupying this space.
.

I sensed a faint energy in the middle of the room
Then it darted away into the rafters
By now, this kind of thing had become pretty normal for me.
.

Every place tends to have a spirit, some energy
Or wandering souls—it’s a common thing
At first, I assumed it must’ve been a former homeowner who passed away here.
.

For this case
I mainly took photos of the surroundings
Didn’t really want to photograph the house much
Because it was in poor condition
Photos would only give people reasons to lowball us
Emphasizing it as a land sale is much easier.
.

I was about to leave
But then saw the smaller house on the left
And felt something
So I told the team
I wanted to walk around the back of the smaller house.
.

At the back, there were 3–4 rooms for workers
At the far end was a kitchen
With a bar-style counter to place food
Before serving it to the main house.
.

Here I started sensing a much stronger and denser energy
Like more than 5 entities
In this small area
(At this point, I was getting slightly suspicious.)
.

The back had many rooms + doors
I kept opening one after another
Until I unknowingly passed into the small house.
.

Once inside the first floor
I started feeling heavy
I thought to myself… this area’s got something
But didn’t want to say anything
Didn’t want to alarm the team.
.

From the outside, the house looked small
But once inside, it was quite spacious
It was a three-story house
But to access the third floor
You had to go up from outside
There was no internal staircase
Overall, it was wider than the main house
But it felt extremely suffocating.
.

The peak moment came
As I reached the landing halfway up the stairs
And turned to go up the next section
To the second floor…
.

Suddenly my auditory sense kicked in
It felt like “elephant ears”
Like my ears expanded massively
Wind blew through from left to right
And I heard a voice say:
“Don’t mess with my place.”
.

When I looked up at the top of the stairs
I saw numerous shadowy figures
Blocking the way to the second floor
(Oh crap. They’re crowding the whole floor.)
.

But I kept climbing
Normally when I approach shadow groups
They dissolve
.

But this group, after dissolving
Reformed again
Right in front of the entrance to the left bedroom
There were two pillows placed in the middle of that room
And just as I stepped closer to enter…
.

“Get out!!”
A voice rang in my ear again
Stopping me dead at the doorway.
.

Just then, the team came up behind me
I pointed and said
“That room, bro. That’s where they are.”
The team was confused about who I was referring to
But as they got closer
Even those without any spiritual sense
Suddenly got goosebumps.
.

“Yeah… the energy is strong. I think the true owner is in that room.”
I yelled to the team
While I continued checking other rooms.
.

No one dared enter that room
But when more people were around
The shadows scurried up to the rafters like usual
Giving me the courage to enter and see what was in that room.
.

That room didn’t seem to be the master bedroom
There was a bathroom and a small walk-in closet
But the energy in there was intense
Could’ve been up to 10 entities.
.

As I turned to leave the room
A faint shadow still stood blocking the door
I just walked right out, ignoring it.
.

I told the team
“This house has stronger energy than the big house.”
And quickly made my way out.
.

I walked around the second floor a bit longer
Then exited the house
The team was waiting below
So I went around the side to climb up to the third floor.
.

The third floor didn’t have much
Just weak energy
It smelled like a woman’s scent
Harmless.
.

The structure of the third floor
Wasn’t quite an attic
But more like a proper floor
Oddly, the only way up was from the side
Since there was no interior staircase.

.

After touring everything
I felt like… “#challenge”
“What the hell was that just now?”
At that moment, I felt bold/curious/eager
A mix of emotions.
.

So I asked the team to wait outside
And I went up to the second floor again… alone
No one wanted to join me this time.
.

As I reached the stair landing
I heard a woman crying
Sounded like deep sorrow
.

Once she realized I was coming back up
The shadow group appeared again
In my head I kept hearing “Get out,” “Don’t,” “Stop”
I climbed to the second floor
Feeling even more pressure than before
It was thick and stifling
.

And I got goosebumps again
Just like when I visited a haunted building where abortions happened
Tons of shadows lined up blocking the stair top
And they didn’t dissolve
It felt like I was walking into a huge sponge
But they wouldn’t disappear
.

I stood in the middle of the house
And kept saying “Excuse me, please” aloud
While quickly snapping pictures of each room
Especially the one with the two pillows
Then rushed back down
.

At that point I had a throbbing headache
Numb ears and face
The whole front part of my body that faced the direction of the shadows
Felt icy cold
.

I sent the photos to someone older
With stronger spiritual senses than mine
And called to ask
If they could see anything
.

The voice on the other end just said
“Oh dear…”
Then went quiet
“Just don’t get involved with that house. If you don’t listen, they could become your karmic enemy.”
That was their answer
No further detail
Very unusual for them
.

After the call
I walked to the spirit house
And the guardian shrine
Next to the small house
Touching the ground in that area
Was my way of seeking permission
Asking the spirits to explain what happened on this land
.

The answer was the same:
“Don’t get involved. Just let it be.”
I didn’t resist
I didn’t raise the soil to my forehead
And drop it through my fingers
Like I usually do to try to see for myself
.

Once the team saw I was done
They called me to the car
To discuss what had happened
.

We hadn’t left the property yet
Just didn’t want the caretaker to overhear
I explained to the team everything I encountered
.

It’s no surprise why land in such a prime location
With a decent price
Still hasn’t been sold
(Some local stories were shared… I’ll skip that part)
.

If you ask whether a plot with such strong spirits
Can still be sold
Yes, it can
I can recommend it… but I won’t get involved
I’ll step onto the property… but never into the small house again
(But I’ll still take the commission though, haha)
.

Even now… 12 hours later
I still feel the headache, numb face, and body
Today, I’ll need a holy bath + heavy prayers
.

After returning home and piecing the story together
It seems
The main house
Was likely used by descendants
While the small house
Was probably for the grandfather’s generation
Who had health issues
Refused hospital care
And eventually died there
Because he was attached to his possessions
.

I believe he was a person of noble status, charisma
Or someone of rank
To have had so many followers and protectors
.

I’m not sure if, after this person passed
His servants also started dying off
Because what he did
Felt more like enslaving them
Rather than simply employing them
.

But what’s certain is
He could gather and command such a large energy force
He must have been extraordinary
.

Agents who go in blindly
Tempted by high price and big commission
Be careful—he might come back for payback
.

#ScaryAsHell
.

P.S. I won’t say which plot this was
Don’t want to cause fear
Or risk getting sued 😅
