Inspector Story

A nostalgia rental turns into a locked-in nightmare when the house starts “running” like a loop—TV, traps, and a basement presence that’s been waiting to wake up.

In 1928, Edgar M. Row’s night boat tours made Galveastston’s coast famous—until passengers began vanishing in the dark. When the Coast Guard noticed his boat returning with fewer people than it left with, a 1932 undercover ride turned into a disappearance of its own.

A lone survivor thinks the safe room will protect him—until his badge name rewrites itself and every “save” looks like someone else is editing the file. When the hallways start glitching between impossible locations, he finds a list of failed versions of himself… and one new entry labeled REPLACED.

A nun in an 1874 Missouri convent begins hearing voices “through the dirt.” After she dies, the convent seals her in iron-reinforced coffins beneath the chapel floor. Two nights later, the knocking begins—and it doesn’t stop.

In 1947, a land surveyor visits a remote West Virginia farmhouse to mark county lines—and discovers the boundary dispute isn’t about land at all. What the Ketchum twins were guarding beneath the floorboards turned Pine Hollow into a town that learned one rule: never cross the line.
