Engstrom House was under constant shadow, as if sunlight could not
reach past its gate on its hill in Ashfall. Its windows—oversized,
divided into many parts, and always shut—were always black. Stunted
sickly trees grew prolifically in the forest behind it, and tangled vegetation
was abundant at the house’s sides.
Engstrom House was uninhabited for many years; its previous owners,
who lived as recluses, and whose doors were seldom disturbed by the knock
of any visitor, had disappeared. When the trouble began, it began slowly—
soft knocks in the deep hours of night that gradually became frequent.
Creeping unseen footsteps in all levels of the house. Moonlight shined
through a window and rolled out in long stretches; the little boy who was
looking over from his bed saw a silhouetted figure pass through the glow.
On each occasion investigation revealed nothing, and all occurrences were
ascribed to imagination alone.
There were curious whispers and rumors of ghouls seen around Engstrom
House; figures that were seldom completely human, but often approaching
humanity in varying degree. Most of the creatures were forward slumping
with glaring red eyes. Some were nameless blasphemies with sharp horns
that curved inward toward each other, bat wings whose beating made no
noise, and ugly prehensile claws.
It was said that Engstrom House’s trees swayed ominously at night, and it
was swore that they did so even when there was no wind, and that was said
too of the misshapen weeds in the high terraced yard where birds never
lingered.
In town there were odd conversations about what abnormal things had
been seen or felt near Engstrom House; while it stood alone on its hill,
people were careful never to pass by it. And it would not take long before
travelers passing through Ashfall heard of things locked in the attic, and of
strange amorphous shadows glimpsed in windows at all levels.
Everything that happened in Engstrom House’s wide staircases, long
eternally dark passages, and hidden doors in unusual corners is unknown.
Cold wind chilled those who stood afar and watched the house; did
something still walk its halls?
Within two years of Engstrom House’s completion, every person in the
Engstrom family was dead. The Engstrom children died of mysterious
sicknesses. Body parts—but almost never whole bodies—of missing adults
were discovered, and servants told incredible tales of voices and ominous
sounds heard in walls and whispers they swore came from empty rooms.
Exactly one month after Engstrom House was completed, the youngest
boy in the Engstrom family fell from the rooftop. He was found by a
servant who told the family that John Engstrom had been pushed and had
not fallen accidentally—but pushed by whom, the servant could not say.
The same servant went missing before John’s funeral.
