The House That Whispers When It Rains

You ever hear a house whisper?

I don’t mean creaks and groans. I mean full-on whispering—words—coming from the walls when the rain falls hard and the lights go out.

That’s what happened at 19 Wren Hollow Lane.

And I wish I could say I imagined it. That it was just stress or some weird trick of the mind.

But my brother didn’t imagine it.
My dog didn’t imagine it.
And my neighbor?
He disappeared on the second night.

1. The House Was Too Cheap
I moved into the house in June 2025.

It was a great deal—too great. Four bedrooms, a huge yard, and it came fully furnished. Like someone had left in a hurry.

I should’ve known better. But I’d just lost my job and needed a reset.

The first two days were quiet.

Then it rained.

2. It Spoke
It started at 2:17 a.m.

I woke up because my dog, Gus, was growling—low and steady.

Then I heard it.

Whispers.

Coming from the attic.

At first, I thought it was wind. But it wasn't random. It was words.

“You shouldn’t have come here…”

Clear as a whisper in your ear.

I froze.

Then it said my name.

3. I Tried to Ignore It
The next morning, I told myself I was dreaming.

Until I went to the attic.

There was nothing up there but a chair. Facing the far wall. Like someone had been sitting there… watching.

Carved into the wood were four words:

“Don’t answer the walls.”

4. My Brother Came Over
I asked my brother Dan to stay over the next stormy night.

He didn’t believe me—but he stayed.

At 2:17 a.m., it happened again.

This time, it was louder.

The voices came from under the floor.

Dan heard them too.

We both heard the same thing:

“One of you can leave.”

He looked at me and laughed nervously.

But then the lights blew out.

5. Gus Disappeared
The dog was gone in the morning.

Just… gone.

No signs of struggle. No door left open. No paw prints outside.

The weird part?

His leash was hanging on the doorknob.

And on the front window, written in the fog, were the words:

“He listened.”

6. We Found the Trapdoor
Dan and I tore the house apart that day.

Behind the hallway closet, we found a hidden trapdoor—leading to a second basement.

It wasn’t on the blueprint.

The staircase was steep and narrow. At the bottom was a room full of mirrors.

But none of them reflected us.

They all showed a different version of the room.

In one mirror, I saw Gus. Lying still.

In another, I saw myself—but older. Bloody. Eyes wide open.

7. Dan Went Missing
That night, I begged Dan not to sleep here again.

But he wanted answers. He said he was going to stay in the attic with a flashlight and record everything.

At 2:17 a.m., I woke up again.

No whispering this time.

Just silence.

And Dan’s phone buzzing on the kitchen table.

The screen was cracked.

It had one photo left in the gallery.

A blurry shot of something crawling out of the mirror.

8. The Rain Fell Hard
The storm came fast.

Wind shook the trees. Water slammed the windows.

And the house… screamed.

Not whispered. Screamed.

Voices from the attic, the floor, the pipes, even the TV—even though it was unplugged.

They all said the same thing:

“Answer. Answer. Answer.”

I screamed back: “WHAT DO YOU WANT?!”

Then silence.

Followed by a single whisper in my left ear:

“Permission.”

9. I Tried to Leave
I packed a bag and ran for the car.

The engine wouldn’t start.

Every time I turned the key, the radio clicked on and whispered:

“You live here now.”

The road was gone—covered in fog so thick it looked like milk.

And in the rearview mirror, I saw the attic chair.

But it was now in my back seat.

10. The Final Entry
It’s been three days since the last storm.

I haven’t slept. I unplugged everything. I covered the mirrors.

But the voices don’t need rain anymore.

They come every night.

Dan is still missing. The police found no trace of him or Gus.

They asked why there were hundreds of names scratched into the attic wall.

And why “Dan” was the most recent one.

If you ever see a house with old furniture, too many mirrors, and a price that feels too good to be true—walk away.

Because once you hear the house whisper your name…

It doesn’t stop until you’re part of it.

You don’t own the house. The house owns you.
