The Woman in the Upstairs Window is a narrated scary story about a man driving a lonely rural road who keeps seeing the same impossible sight: a woman standing in the upstairs window of an abandoned house that shouldn’t have an upstairs.

At first, it looks like a trick of the road, the moonlight, or his own tired mind. But each time he passes the house, the window is still there. The woman is still watching. And the closer he gets to understanding what he’s seeing, the harder it becomes to tell whether the house is haunted, waiting, or showing him something that was never meant to be seen.

This episode is for listeners who enjoy creepy road stories, haunted house horror, ghost stories, rural horror, paranormal suspense, abandoned houses, impossible places, and eerie stories about being watched from the dark.

Listen with the lights low, and don’t look too long at the windows of empty houses.
