Every Night, the Black Dog Growled at the Baby — Until the Father Called the Police and Found the Terrifying Truth Hidden Below
Since the newborn arrived, Ink, the black dog, never left the bedroom. Son and Han initially welcomed it: a devoted dog guarding their child and the door. But after just three nights, peace vanished.
On the fourth night, at exactly 2:13 a.m., Ink crouched stiffly on all fours, the hair on his back raised, and began growling at the crib. No barking, no attacking — just a long, twisted growl, like something unseen was choking him.
Son switched on the lamp and moved closer. The baby remained asleep, lips moving as if sucking, making no sound. But Ink kept his eyes fixed under the bed. He lowered his body to the floor, pushing his muzzle into the dust, sniffing.
Son knelt, activating the mobile flashlight. Only boxes, spare diapers… and a dark shadow rippling like endless water appeared.
On the fifth night, the same scene repeated. On the sixth night, Han shivered at the sound of nails scraping wood: “ret… ret…” slow and deliberate.
“They must be rats,” Han whispered, though her voice shook.
Son moved the crib next to the closet and set a trap. Ink remained vigilant, growling occasionally as the baby stirred.
On the seventh night, Son stayed awake, sitting on the bed edge with only the dim hallway light. He set his mobile to video mode.

Son lifted the baby, shielding her, holding a baseball bat. Ink lunged under the bed, growls turning into barks. A crunch — “soat” — then silence. Lights flickered. Something slithered back, leaving a trail of dust.
Han sobbed, begging to call the police. Son dialed. Within ten minutes, two officers arrived. One bent down, flashlight on, started moving boxes. Ink stayed guard, teeth bared.
“Calm down,” said the cop. “Let’s see…”
Under the bed — nothing. Dust and circular marks. The officer’s light found a crack by the headboard: broken wood, wide enough for a hand. Hollow knuckles.
“Hidden space,” he whispered. “Any repairs been done here?”
Son shook his head. The baby moaned. Ink’s eyes glowed. He turned to the rift, growling fiercely… Watch: [in comment] - Made with AI
