Shadows in the Attic: A Demonic Encounter in Cheshire

Adam and Dylan, paranormal investigators from Paranormal Visions, arrived at the abandoned 17th-century house in Cheshire under a gray sky. The structure loomed like a relic from another era, its stone walls weathered by centuries of neglect. “This place has history,” Adam said, adjusting his camera. “Built in 1695, but whatever’s here predates it. Reports of aggressive activity—growls, footsteps, even demonic presence. We’re not just exploring; we’re investigating something ancient and hostile.”

They entered through the creaking front door, the air thick with resistance. “Feels like the house doesn’t want us here,” Dylan muttered. They set up equipment in the games room: a spirit talker, K2 meter, and dead bell on the pool table. “Hello,” Adam called. “Anyone here wanting to communicate?” Silence, then footsteps echoed from the stairs. “You hear that?” Dylan whispered.

A voice emerged from the spirit talker: “Mabel.” “Mabel, is that you?” Adam asked. The bell rang once for yes. “Did you live here?” Another yes. “Did you die here?” Yes. They questioned further, but the responses grew erratic. “Kindness,” the device said, then “no” when Adam spoke. “It doesn’t like me,” Adam noted. “Maybe my tattoos—old-fashioned folks weren’t fans.”

They moved to the kitchen, setting up more devices. The transcend app picked up “Adam” repeatedly. “That’s my name,” Adam said, startled. “Hi,” it replied. “Can you tell us your name?” “Real.” “Face.” “You don’t like my face?” Adam joked nervously. The bell rang, and voices like “Lucy” and “child” surfaced. “Is there a child here?” Yes. “In the attic?” Yes.

The atmosphere darkened. Growls rumbled, and the K2 spiked. “Something’s here,” Dylan said. They heard a hiss, like the house’s nickname, “the hissing house.” “Can you make a noise?” Adam asked. A bang echoed. “Was that you?” Yes.

Upstairs, the corridor felt oppressive. Spirit box sessions yielded fragmented voices: “You have a message.” “Woman’s voice—maybe Mabel or Lucy.” “Who wanted us upstairs?” “Yes.” A hum unnerved them. “That freaked me out,” Dylan admitted. Bedrooms revealed more: “Occupied by a spirit?” “That me.” “Calling.” “Door.” “Music.” “Yoohoo.”

In one room, a growl and “help” from a woman’s voice. “Is this your bedroom?” “Servant’s quarters.” “Did you work here?” Yes. “With your family?” Yes. “Want to leave?” Something. “Is there something in the attic?” Yes. “Hiding?” Yes. “Kept in the attic?” Yes.

The attic loomed as the climax. “Something up here doesn’t want us,” Adam warned. They ascended cautiously, re pod and bell in hand. “Whatever’s here, you said not to come up.” The bell rang once. “Is there something that can harm us?” Silence, but earlier spikes suggested activity.

“Gentleness,” the device said. “Referring to me?” Yes. “Does it not like me?” Yes. Movements and growls intensified. “Nightmare,” it uttered. “Is there something evil?” “Bad entity?” “Nightmare.” The bell refused to ring fully, as if held back. “Trying to break my equipment?” Adam asked. Cold drafts swept through. “We are watching you.”

Voices like “Daddy” emerged. “Is that the kids’ dad?” They speculated about servants, children, and a malevolent force. “People keep running.” “Break.” “Bullet.” “Chair of torture.” “Stuck on the chair.” “Held against will.”

Descending, they reflected. “This wasn’t a ghost,” Adam said. “It reacted to our presence, dominated the space. Ancient, intelligent, hostile—possibly demonic, tied to the land or a spirit turned malevolent.” The house, occupied rather than haunted, had revealed its secrets through resistance and aggression.
