Season 1 – Episode 8: When She Wasn’t Herself

Chinedu barely slept. Every time he closed his eyes, he dreamed of the shadow crouched at the foot of the bed, watching, waiting. By morning, he thought maybe things would feel normal again. But Adaora wasn’t herself.

She moved around the house as if half-asleep, her eyes dull, her steps too slow. At one point, he found her standing by the bathroom mirror, her lips moving without sound.

“Adaora?” he called.

She didn’t answer. Instead, the reflection in the mirror smiled—a smile Adaora herself wasn’t making.

When she finally turned, her eyes were wet with tears. “Chinedu… I don’t know how much longer I can fight him. Every time I close my eyes, he whispers my name. Every time I breathe, it feels like he’s breathing through me.”

That night, Chinedu tied a red cloth around her wrist—the way his grandmother once told him was for protection. “No matter what happens,” he whispered, “you’re mine, Adaora. Not his.”

But at exactly 2:00 a.m., the house shook. The doors rattled. The air smelled of wet soil. And Adaora’s body went stiff in Chinedu’s arms.

Her voice came out, but it wasn’t hers. It was low, rusted, stretched with something inhuman:

“Chinedu… let her go. She belongs to me.”

Chinedu held her tighter, shouting, “Fight him, Adaora! Fight!”

Her head snapped back, her eyes rolling white. Soil spilled from her mouth as she laughed—a dry, broken laugh that made the walls tremble.

And then, just as suddenly, she collapsed into his arms, sobbing like herself again. “I can’t hold him back much longer.”

Chinedu pressed his forehead against hers, shaking. “I won’t lose you. I don’t care what promise you made—I won’t lose you.”

But the shadow was no longer outside. No longer in the walls.

It was inside Adaora.

👉 To be continued…

❓Now that the shadow has begun using Adaora’s body as its doorway, how much of her can Chinedu save before she’s gone forever?

Season 1 – Episode 7: The Mistake She Made

Adaora sat at the dining table with her head in her hands, the morning light falling weakly through the curtains. Chinedu hadn’t touched his food. He just stared at her, waiting.

Finally, her trembling voice broke the silence.

“I didn’t mean for it to happen. I was only seventeen.”

Chinedu’s fists clenched. “Tell me everything, Adaora. Now.”

She nodded, tears running down her face.

“It was in my village. They said if you wanted your true love to find you, there was a ritual. At midnight, you stand at a crossroad, whisper your name, and promise yourself to the one who answers. I thought it was just folklore. I thought it was harmless.”

Her breath hitched. “But someone answered. Not a man. Not a boy. A voice… low, broken, calling me from the shadows. He said my name as if he already owned it. And I—foolishly—I promised him. I said, I will wait. I will love you always.”

Chinedu’s chest tightened. “And he believed you.”

Adaora nodded slowly. “Yes. He followed me ever since. Whenever I tried to love another, he found me. The night I met you, Chinedu… I thought I had finally outrun him. I thought maybe your love was strong enough to bury the past.”

Before Chinedu could answer, the lights flickered and the air went icy.

The walls shuddered with a deep groan. The voice seeped through, darker than before, full of rage:

“You promised, Adaora. You called me first. And now you feed another man while I starve.”

The dining table rattled, plates crashing to the floor. Chinedu leapt to shield Adaora, but the shadow slid across the walls like ink in water, circling them both.

For the first time, it spoke directly to Chinedu:

“You were never meant to have her. She is mine.”

Adaora clutched her husband, sobbing. “Don’t answer him! Don’t believe him!”

But Chinedu’s eyes met the dark smears crawling along the wall, and in his chest, doubt grew heavier.

Because now he knew—Adaora hadn’t just been haunted. She had invited him in.

👉 To be continued…

❓Now that the shadow has revealed Adaora’s past mistake, will Chinedu fight for her—or surrender her to the thing she once called her true love?

Season 1 – Episode 6: When the Walls Whisper

For the next three nights, their house became unlivable. It wasn’t the footsteps anymore. It wasn’t the knocking. It was smaller things—things that made Chinedu question his own sanity.

His toothbrush dripping with soil instead of water.
The wedding photo on the wall—Adaora’s eyes in the picture now looking sideways, as if watching him when his back was turned.
And every night, exactly at 2:00 a.m., the sound of breathing—long, shallow, labored—just beneath their bed.

Chinedu tried to act brave, but inside he was unraveling. One evening, he grabbed Adaora’s shoulders, eyes wide. “Tell me the truth! Did you invite this thing here? Did you bring him into our lives?”

Adaora shook her head furiously, crying. “I didn’t! I swear I didn’t! He followed me. He always follows me.”

But Chinedu couldn’t escape the feeling that maybe she wasn’t telling him everything. He started sleeping less, watching her even in the daylight, his love slowly corroded by suspicion.

The shadow took advantage of that.

One dawn, Chinedu awoke to find the sheets beside him empty. His heart jumped. He ran to the kitchen—only to see Adaora standing still, facing the wall. She wasn’t moving. She wasn’t breathing.

He rushed forward to shake her—and the instant he touched her shoulder, the lights flickered on. She gasped awake as if she’d been somewhere else entirely. “Chinedu… I wasn’t here. He pulled me into the dark again.”

That night, the whispering began. Low at first, coming from the walls:

“She promised me. She belongs to me. Why do you keep her from me?”

Chinedu shouted at the walls, fists clenched, “Leave us alone!”

The whisper changed. It deepened, mocking:

“She never told you, did she? The way she called for me the first time? The way she let me in?”

Adaora covered her ears, screaming, “Don’t listen! He twists everything! Don’t let him—”

But Chinedu looked at her differently now. Doubt clouded his love. Fear poisoned his trust.

And the shadow knew it had won its first victory.

👉 To be continued…

❓What truth is Adaora still hiding—and when Chinedu’s doubt breaks completely, will the shadow claim them both?

Season 1 – Episode 5: The Promise She Broke

Morning sunlight spilled into the room, but Adaora didn’t move. She sat on the edge of the bed, eyes swollen from the night’s tears, staring at her hands as if they were stained with something only she could see.

Chinedu knelt beside her, voice soft. “Adaora… I need to know. What did you promise him?”

Her throat tightened. At first, she shook her head. But then the truth clawed its way out.

“I promised him I’d wait,” she whispered. “No matter how long. No matter how far. I told him I’d never love another. And when I broke it—when I chose you instead—he found me again.”

Chinedu’s face drained of color. “Adaora… who is he?”

She closed her eyes, whispering so faintly that the air seemed to bend toward her words. “He wasn’t a man anymore, even then. He belonged to the night. I should never have spoken with him. I should never have looked twice.”

Before Chinedu could press her further, the power cut. The ceiling fan stilled. The house sank into a thick, heavy silence.

And then—

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Three deliberate knocks echoed through the sitting room door. But this time, neither of them had left it unlocked.

Chinedu stood, fists clenched, moving toward the living room despite Adaora’s desperate grip on his arm. “Don’t,” she begged, “please, don’t answer.”

But when he reached the sitting room, the door wasn’t shaking. The knocks weren’t coming from outside.

They were coming from inside the walls.

The plaster rippled, as though something heavy pressed against it from within, straining to push through.

Adaora screamed, dragging Chinedu back, and in the corner of the room the wall cracked open—thin, jagged lines glowing faintly. A hand, black and stretched too long, slid out, groping blindly as soil fell from its fingers.

Chinedu froze. Adaora fell to her knees, sobbing. “He’s here. He’s already here.”

The hand paused, curling its long fingers as if savoring the air. Then the voice seeped through the wall, low and cold, the sound of earth shifting in a grave:

“You broke your promise, Adaora. And now… I’ve come to claim what’s mine.”

The wall sealed shut again. Silence returned.

But Adaora knew it wasn’t over. He was no longer at the door. He was inside the house.

👉 To be continued…

❓What exactly did Adaora bind herself to when she made that promise—and how far will the shadow go now that he’s crossed the threshold?

Season 1 – Episode 4: The Name She Wouldn’t Say

The morning after, Adaora tried to act normal. She made ogbono soup, teased Chinedu about how he chewed meat too loudly, even played his favorite Asa song while folding clothes. But Chinedu wasn’t fooled.

He kept watching her eyes. They looked alive, but too alert—like she was listening for footsteps no one else could hear.

Finally, he spoke. “Adaora, who was he?”

Her smile cracked. She bent lower over the pot, stirring too fast. “Don’t ask me that question, Chinedu. Please.”

But Chinedu couldn’t let it go. “Is he someone you knew before we met?”

Adaora froze. Then she whispered, “Don’t make me say his name. If you say it, he’ll hear. If I say it, he’ll come inside.”

Chinedu laughed nervously. “Inside? Babe, abeg, stop this drama.”

Adaora dropped the spoon, her voice sharp now: “It’s not drama! You don’t understand—he doesn’t need doors. He only needs memory.”

That night, they tried to sleep. Adaora clung to him, whispering prayers under her breath. Chinedu tried to be strong, but at exactly 2:00 a.m., the sound returned.

Shhh—shhh—shhh.

Dragging feet, slow and wet, across the corridor.

This time, the footsteps didn’t stop at the door. They moved… to the window.

The curtains shivered though the glass was shut tight. The shadow of a tall figure pressed against the windowpane, long fingers dragging down the glass, leaving streaks that glowed faintly.

Adaora buried her face into Chinedu’s chest. He could feel her tears soaking his shirt.

The voice came again. Lower, closer. This time, it didn’t call from behind the door. It whispered directly at the glass:

“Adaora… you belong to me.”

Chinedu gripped her tighter, shouting at the shadow, “Leave her alone!”

The shadow stilled. And then—for the first time—it laughed.

A slow, broken laugh that sounded like coughing soil.

Adaora clamped her hands over Chinedu’s mouth, eyes wide with terror. “Don’t speak to him! Every word makes him stronger.”

The laugh faded. The shadow slid away, melting back into the night.

Silence returned.

But Adaora knew silence didn’t mean safety.

She whispered into the darkness, almost too soft for Chinedu to hear: “You promised you’d never stop searching for me. And I was foolish enough to believe you couldn’t.”

Chinedu turned to her. “Adaora… what did you promise him?”

Her lips trembled. She didn’t answer. She only wept.

And Chinedu, for the first time, realized the truth was far scarier than the knocking.

When the dead knock, it isn’t wood they want to touch—it’s you.

Season 1 – Episode 3: The Man Who Wasn’t Alive

For the first time in his marriage, Chinedu didn’t know how to hold his wife.
He had held Adaora when her mother died, when her shop got robbed, even when she almost burned rice so badly the neighbors came to complain about the smoke. But tonight, her trembling was different. It wasn’t grief. It wasn’t laughter. It was fear… and guilt.

He whispered, “Adaora, who is he?”

Her lips shook. “Someone I should never have promised anything to. Someone who died with my name still in his mouth.”

The room went cold again. The lightbulb above them flickered twice.

Chinedu’s heart hammered. “You mean a ghost? Babe, abeg, this is 2025, not Nollywood.” He forced a laugh, but his hand clutched the torch tighter.

Adaora didn’t laugh. Her eyes slid to the door, and that was when they both heard it: not a knock this time, but a dragging sound, like wet feet moving across the corridor outside.

Shh—shhh—shhh.

The sound stopped right at their door.

Both of them held their breath. Slowly, shadows stretched under the doorframe. One shadow, not two. Tall. Thin. Wrong.

Adaora buried her face in Chinedu’s chest, whispering: “He’s here.”

Chinedu’s courage fought with his fear. He stood, raising the torch. “Who’s there?!” he barked, trying to sound brave.

And then it came.

A voice. Low. Rusted. Like it had been dragged through soil before it reached their door.

“Adaora… open.”

Chinedu’s blood froze. He glanced at Adaora—her tears were spilling like rain now, her lips moving in silent prayer.

He had never heard his wife’s name sound so cursed.

The voice spoke again, longer this time, pressing against the wood like a whisper slipping into the cracks:

“Adaora… you said you’d never leave me.”

The torch flickered. The door handle twitched once.

Chinedu lunged, holding it in place with both hands. He shouted, “Leave my wife alone!” But the cold that seeped through the handle told him this wasn’t just some drunk neighbor.

Adaora screamed, “Don’t say anything to him! He listens when you answer!”

The dragging footsteps retreated slowly, the voice fading down the corridor until silence wrapped them again.

Chinedu turned to his wife, his chest pounding. “You will explain this, Adaora. Who is he?”

She shook her head violently, whispering through sobs: “Not who, my love. Who he was.”

The truth was close now. But so was the man who wasn’t alive.

🌑 Every secret has a time it refuses to stay hidden. For Adaora, that time was 2:00 a.m.”

Season 1 – Episode 2: The Secret in Adaora’s Eyes

The next day after the knocking, Chinedu acted normal. He whistled as he fried plantain, teased Adaora about putting too much salt in her stew, and even danced azonto while sweeping the living room. But behind the jokes, his heart was restless.

Adaora laughed at his clumsy dancing, but her eyes didn’t laugh with her. They carried the kind of heaviness that no joke could erase.

By evening, Chinedu couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“Adaora,” he said softly, “what did you mean last night? When you said the knocking wasn’t for me, but for you?”

She froze, her spoon hanging in mid-air. For a long moment, she didn’t answer. Then she forced a smile.
“Forget it, my love. It’s nothing. Maybe just dreams.”

But Chinedu knew her too well. He could tell when she was hiding something. She had that same expression she wore years ago when she accidentally broke his phone and swore it was “the wind.”

That night, he pretended to sleep.

At exactly 2:00 a.m., he heard it again.

Knock. Knock.

The sound crawled into his bones. Adaora’s body tensed beside him, her breath quick and shallow. She whispered so softly he almost missed it:
“I didn’t tell him to come back.”

Chinedu’s eyes flew open. “Tell who?” he whispered back.

Adaora’s face was wet with tears, her hands trembling. But before she could answer, the knock came louder—three times now, shaking the door as though someone desperate was on the other side.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

Chinedu jumped up, grabbing his torch, but Adaora clutched his arm again, almost begging.
“Please, Chinedu, don’t open it. If you do, he will see you too.”

He frowned, his fear mixing with anger. “Adaora, what are you hiding from me? Who is ‘he’?”

Adaora buried her face in her hands.
“Someone I prayed would never find me again.”

The silence that followed was heavier than the knocking. Chinedu stood frozen, torn between love for his wife and the dread crawling up his spine. He didn’t know whether to comfort her, shout at her, or tear the door open just to end the madness.

The knocks stopped suddenly, leaving behind a stillness so sharp it hummed in the air.

Adaora lifted her head slowly. Her eyes were red, swollen. She whispered one line that Chinedu knew would change their marriage forever:

“The truth is… I should have told you before we married. He’s not alive, Chinedu. But he still wants me.”

The room felt colder than ever.

Chinedu had always believed life was simple—work hard, love your wife, and never forget to charge your phone. His late mother often said: “No matter how heavy it feels, say the truth and you will breathe again.” He carried that saying everywhere like a prayer.

But on the night the knocking began, he learned that some truths don’t set you free—they sit in the dark and wait until you’re alone.

That evening had been ordinary enough. Chinedu and his wife, Adaora, ate hot efo riro and laughed over who finished the last piece of meat in the pot. Adaora swore it wasn’t her. Chinedu swore it wasn’t him. They ended up laughing so hard that neighbors banged the wall to complain.

Later, when they lay in bed, the warmth of her laughter still in his ears, sleep came slowly. And that was when he heard it:

Knock. Knock.

Two deliberate strikes at the front door.

He froze, eyes snapping open. The wall clock glowed back at him—2:00 a.m. sharp. His first thought? Maybe one of his mischievous friends had come drunk, demanding suya. But then the knock came again—slower, heavier, like it wanted to be felt in his chest.

Beside him, Adaora shifted under the covers. Her breathing was calm, maybe too calm.

Chinedu crept to the door, his legs wobbling more from curiosity than fear. He bent to the peephole. Nothing. Only the tired yellow light of the corridor buzzing like a lazy mosquito.

He sighed in relief—until he turned to leave.

That’s when he saw it.

Right there, on his side of the door—wet fingerprints. Five long smears, still dripping, pressed exactly where his eye had been.

He stumbled back. The door was locked. The bolts were in place. The windows shut tight. So how—how were there fresh prints inside?

The next morning, he showed Adaora. Expecting her to laugh, he prepared to make a joke about invisible visitors. But Adaora didn’t laugh.

Her lips parted, her face turned pale, and she whispered, “So… you saw them too?”

Chinedu blinked. “What do you mean, too?”

Adaora bit her lip, looking guilty like a child caught stealing akara. Then she confessed—this wasn’t the first time. The knocks had been happening for weeks, sometimes months. Always at 2:00 a.m. Always when he was asleep. She hadn’t told him because, well… “You would have called me crazy,” she said softly.

Chinedu wanted to laugh, but the memory of those wet fingerprints glued his throat shut.

That night, he insisted they wait together. They sat on the couch, the TV off, the clock ticking too loudly. Adaora’s fingers squeezed his hand like she was holding onto a secret.

At exactly 2:00 a.m.—

Knock. Knock.

This time, the door trembled. The air grew colder, as if someone had opened a freezer behind it. Shadows crawled along the walls like they were stretching.

Chinedu grabbed his metal torch, puffing his chest like a Nollywood hero. But Adaora yanked his arm with shocking strength. Her eyes shone with guilt and fear as she whispered:

“Don’t open it. It’s not knocking for you. It’s knocking because of me.”

For the first time in his life, Chinedu realized marriage didn’t just come with bills and arguments over food—it also came with secrets big enough to make your door knock back at night.

And as the knocking grew louder, Chinedu wasn’t sure if he wanted to know the truth Adaora was hiding.

On the seventeenth day, the whispers grew louder than ever.

That night, in my dream, I saw Chika standing before me. His hands were full of money, but blood dripped through his fingers.

He smiled at me. But his smile twisted until his face no longer looked human.

I woke up screaming. The man rushed in, angry, but froze when he saw the wall.

The tallies had changed.

I hadn’t scratched them that night. But the wall now read: “Eighteen.”

And below it: “Blood must pay.”

On the nineteenth day, the whispers stopped.

The silence was worse.

I scratched my tally, but before I could finish, the wall cracked. From the crack seeped a black liquid, thick and foul-smelling.

The man panicked, shouting prayers I had never heard. But I only stared. Because in that liquid, I saw Chika’s reflection—his eyes hollow, his grin stretched.

The wall whispered once more: “Tomorrow.”

Tomorrow. The twentieth day.

The day the others had never lived to see.

The twentieth day came.

I woke to find the shack silent. The man was gone. The rats were gone. Even the wind had stilled.

The wall glowed faintly. The tallies were gone. Only one word remained, carved deep into the wood: “Return.”

That night, in the silence, I felt a hand—small and cold—slip into mine. A child’s hand.

"We kept you alive," a whisper said. "Now it is time to go back. Blood remembers."

The next morning, I stood at the edge of my village. My body felt different. Stronger. Not mine alone anymore.

Because I wasn’t just Amara anymore.

I carried them—the ones who never saw the twenty-first day.

And my brother would see me again.

But this time, he would not see me as his sister.

He would see me as his curse.

The days blurred into one another. Cook. Clean. Obey. At night, the whispers and scratching returned.

I added tallies. Five. Six. Seven.

Each time I marked the wall, I felt eyes on me. Not the man’s eyes—something else. Something unseen.

On the eighth day, I dared to ask the man: “Who lived here before me?”

He laughed, showing brown teeth. “Too many questions. They didn’t last long.”

Didn’t last long. The words burned into me. Were they still here? Were their whispers the ones haunting the walls?

On the tenth night, I woke to find the nail gone. The tallies I had scratched were smeared, as though a hand had wiped them away.

But when I turned to the corner, the nail lay neatly beside my mat—shining as though freshly polished.

Someone—or something—wanted me to keep counting.

While I suffered, my brother Chika thrived.

I didn’t see him, but I heard about him. Villagers whispered when they fetched water: “Chika is wearing new shoes now. He eats meat every day.”

I imagined him, smiling faintly, counting his dirty money.

One evening, the whispers in my shack grew louder. They didn’t call my name this time. They said something else: “Blood remembers. Blood comes back.”

I didn’t know what it meant. But I knew one thing—I would never forgive Chika.

On the twelfth night, a storm raged. Rain hammered the roof, lightning split the sky. The man staggered in drunk, muttering to himself, before collapsing in the front room.

This was my chance.

I gripped the nail, slid the door open, and ran barefoot into the storm. Branches tore my wrapper, thorns cut my feet, but I kept running.

Behind me, I heard laughter. Not the man’s—he was asleep. This was the laughter of children, echoing in the storm.

*"Run, Amara… run…" *

The voices didn’t chase me—they guided me.

But every time I thought I’d escaped, I found myself back at the same path, staring at the shack again.

The bush was closing in.

On the fifteenth day, the man took me to the market to buy food. For the first time, I saw my own village again—from a distance.

It looked the same, but darker. The trees bent strangely. The air felt heavier.

When he wasn’t looking, I whispered to myself: “I will come back. But not as I left.”

I felt something stir inside me then—something not mine, something borrowed from the whispers in the walls.

By the tenth night, it wasn’t Daniel or the ancestors who frightened me most—it was the child inside me.

I woke to the sound of clinking plates, though none stood in the room. The crib rocked by itself. And from my belly came a whisper not with my ears but inside my bones:
“Mama, when I come, they will eat through me.”

Daniel wept when I told him. “This is the curse’s endgame. Not you. Not me. The child will host the eternal table.”

That night, the world shifted again. Our living room stretched long as a cathedral, walls dissolving into endless night. Hundreds of seats appeared, filled with restless shadows. At the center stood a tiny highchair, silver and glowing.

A voice older than stone thundered: “The host is born tonight.”

Pain ripped through me. I fell, clutching my stomach. Daniel held me, chanting in that old tongue. But the shadows pressed closer, bowls raised, spoons clattering like rain.

Through my screams came the baby’s voice again—clearer than ever:
“See you at dinner.”

The lights died. Only the sound of feeding remained.

To be continued… If your child was born to host the dead forever, would you still bring it into the world?
