Listen "The Man at the Window"
Episode Synopsis
Evelyn and Marcus Boyd move into a peaceful suburban home hoping for a quiet new life. But soon, Evelyn begins seeing a man standing at the edge of their yard late at night—motionless, staring at the house. At first, Marcus dismisses it as imagination, until he sees the figure himself one rainy night. To protect themselves, Marcus installs motion lights and security cameras. For several nights, nothing happens—until one morning, their system records something terrifying: the man isn’t outside anymore. He’s inside the house, standing in the hallway, staring straight into the camera before the screen cuts to black. The couple searches every room but finds no sign of him. Yet when Marcus checks again, the man’s reflection appears faintly behind him—in the hallway mirror. They flee to a motel and refuse to return after dark. Days later, when they return to collect their belongings, they find a printed photo on their kitchen table. It’s from their own camera: the two of them asleep in bed, and at the window behind them—his face, smiling. A chilling story of a watcher who crosses the line between outside and inside—and a home that never feels safe again.
