A twelve-year-old growing up on picture-perfect Willow Lane becomes fixated on the mysterious neighbor who only emerges at dusk to stare at the sky.

But it's the rhythmic scraping sounds from his basement at 2am - a methodic, labored sound - that truly disturb. And when curiosity finally gets the better of them... they're not prepared for what they discover.

A chilling story about the neighbors we never truly know and the secrets buried beneath suburban normalcy. Perfect for grown-ups who remember the strange adults from their childhood neighborhoods.

This episode features: neighbor horror, suburban mysteries, basement secrets, childhood terror, nocturnal rituals, and atmospheric dread perfect for bedtime listening.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
